My mail.medmarket.com server is actually a linux box at the same co-location as my win2k web server. I called the ISP and am now using their mail server that is 30 miles away from that co-location, and things have improved dramatically.
Believe me, I'd like to use linux for this project of mine, but my boss wants me to do it Windows first and then (maybe) make the switch to red hat. Everything should transfer smoothly since I'm using Apache/MySQL/PHP, using $DOCUMENT_ROOT and forward slashes everywhere, right? Thanks.

(HKG) Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] mail() function EXTREMELY slow I need to add my 2 cents worth here. I use php to send email and use my ISP's SMTP server to do it. And I still experience the slowness. The curious thing is that I don't experience this slowness with any of the standard mail clients when sending mail (Outlook, Eudora, etc.) For whatever it's worth...

It might, and is probably, related to your own network. For example: have you check the ICMP traffic, to see if your network traffic is routed correctly? You might have a router in the routing list that is a "wacko" router, and that might causes sporadic network hangs, and disconnection's. /Anders >-----Original Message----- >From: Matt Hillebrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:27 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php-windows >Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] mail() function EXTREMELY slow > > >Yeah, I know about the max time variable, but it would be unacceptable to >take over a minute or two to send a handful of emails! > >I read an article that said you could use your ISP's SMTP >server for the >mail() function, but that didn't seem to work. > > > >Matt Hillebrand >Web Developer >[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Ross Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 3:28 PM >To: Matt Hillebrand; php-windows >Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] mail() function EXTREMELY slow > > >I hope you're not spamming... ;) > >In php.ini: > >max_execution_time=30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in >seconds > >Change it to what you need.
