I am maintaining a social network site.
there each user can send other mail.
these mails are not real mail rather message entry to database.
I added a new feature so that every message is sent to me (admin/webmaster)
via email (real e-mail).
I used mail function.
THis is a simple mail function. all it does sends mail with the message as
the mail body to my address.
Thats it. no extra complexity.
But the problem is I got the mail very late. after 4-6 hours. That is huge
time difference.
I shouldn't take more than 3-5 mins.
Do you know the reason?
my mail code is here,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
list($myname,$mydomain)=preg_split("/\@/",$myemail,2);
$headers .= "From: $myname <$myemail>\r\n";
mail("me@xxxxxxxxxx", "message from XXX to YYY", $message_content,
$headers);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unless your script is actually hanging for the 4-6 hours this problem
has nothing to do with PHP.
How mail is delivered depends on the OS you are using, but usually it
will get passed to a local MTA which then handles delivering it, at
which point PHP involvement ends.
I suggest you look at the Received headers in the messages your getting.
You should be able to see which server is causing the delay.
