Hi
I have a standalone machine running Mandrake 10 with apache server and
PHP installed.
The PHP mail() function is working but very slowly. It takes about
10-20 seconds to send a single email. Can anyone advise me on what
could be causing this? I have tried using mail() on other apache
setups and the response time has been much faster.
Below is the relevant section from my php.ini:
TIA
Andrew
php.ini
=======
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@localhost.co m
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
-t -i").
;sendmail_path = 3  4809

Andres,
It sounds like a DNS problem to me. It seems like sendmail is trying to
resolve your client computer's ip.
You could solve this by adding it to /etc/hosts on the server or hacking
the sendmail configuration.

Ruben.

How slowly? Does it wait like 1 minute before delivering?
Or it waits some time but less than 1 minute?
If it waits one minute, that is likely a missing reverse DNS register
for your IP.
If it is not that much, it may be because sendmail by default attempts
to deliver messages immediately and depending on your destination it may
take a while to have your message accepted.
In this case the solution is to use the appropriate message delivery
mode, which is certainly not the immediate/interactive mode. Take a look
at this class that comes with a sub-class specialized in deliverying via
sendmail. It lets you configure the sendmail delivery mode before
sending. Take a look at the documentation of the class for mode details. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

Manuel,
It waits about 1 minute. I think it is a DNS problem.
I've added the following line to my /etc/hosts:
"127.0.0.1 localhost.co.uk "
But this hasn't made a difference.
Is there a HOW-TO setup apache and sendmail for a standalone machine?
Thanks
Andrew

I'm using the PHP mail() function to send some confirmation emails out
when a user submits a form. My understanding is that this is basically
a wrapper for sendmail (specifically, sendmail -t -i).
In my development environment, this works great. Everything is fast
and wonderful.

I've recently installed apache on a new computer, and cannot figure out why my site will not process any includes.
