PHP and mail() function issue

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 14.2011

Hi

My website is customised in php, and at the contact us pages i’ve been using the mail() function to get the emails from this form to my email ids.

I have places everything in place, and working fine as well.

But the major problem is i receive the email in more than 4 hours+.

So if a customer sends us any query from our website it’s taking 4+ hours.

I dont know what to do in such case, i have reviwed the code twice and dint find any problem with that.

All i looking forward to use any other method, is there any other method, where i dont have to use this mail() function, and receive the email in pretty fast manner.

I am also open to use any email server, which i can use to send and receive email from.

plz help. thanks in advance. KRST

@NogDogJul 14.2011 — The problem is not your PHP code. I would suspect that either the mail server on your host is overloaded or is being throttled in some manner, or some other server between your host and your mail client that is involved in transferring the message is overloaded or throttled. I would start by talking with your web host's system administrator to find out if there is any known problem.

@NoasITJul 14.2011 — Also something I've learned is if you spoof the from header to be the email they filled in, it often takes longer as the domain sending doesn't match the domain from and many mail providers don't like this =D

Success!
