Hello,

When I send a e-mail with my XOOPS site to users it goes very slow. Sending one e-mail takes about 5 seconds, but mails with over 10 receipiants goes much slower.... (couple of minutes).

My hosting provider says there is a spam check at the outgoing mails. But is this normal that sending mails goes such terrible slow? Is it my provider or maybe something in Xoops/PHP?

I'm using the mail method php mail(). Sendmail doesnt work and i dont know another smtp server which i can use.

Do other XOOPS webmaster also have problems with slow mail?

Hello!

We also had this problem. The solution was in the server settings. We have a server with Debian Linux and Apache. For Apache, the secondary DNS server was set wrong (typing error in the ip-address). That made the mailfunction very slow, because he tried to find the DNS, but couldn't find it.

Maybe your problem is somewhere in that direction too!

Good luck.
