I am building an application that uses the mail() command. I am running on RedHat v9 with Apache v2 and PHP v4.3.8. The problem is, when I run the mail() function, the submitting page is very slow (1-2 seconds), I assume because it is waiting for the message to be queued up by SendMail. Is there a way to fire off the mail command as a thread, similar to the way to issues a command via the command prompt followed by & to run it as a thread. Any ideas?
