Could you please try out this command?
time /usr/sbin/sendmail ca...@erweb.it </root/.bashrc
That will send the file /root/.bashrc to your own email address and
shows you how long it took to complete that command. The response would
be something like this:
real 0m0.731s
user 0m0.023s
sys 0m0.016s
See if that's considerably slower, faster or similar to what you see
when you email from PHP.
If it's equally slow, then the slowdown affects all email related
transactions. Which would point to a general problem. Such as your
/etc/resolv.conf containing DNS name servers that no longer work. Email
depends heavily on DNS and that could cause this problem.
