The servers are responding fine. Sendmail was working fine from the command line, before AND after the PHP upgrade, but the php mail() command was taking a VERY long time until I added all the IP details to /etc/hosts. Now it works fine. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 11:00:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There were no code changes to the mail() function code between 4.1.0 and 4.1.2. And even if there was, all mail() does is open a pipe to your sendmail or equivalent mail delivery program. PHP does not try to do any domain name resolution on the addresses so this DNS delay you are experiencing can not possibly be PHP related as the DNS resolution is done by the external mail delivery program. You probably changed something else on your system. Check your /etc/resolv.conf and make sure the DNS servers listed there are responding quickly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 10:36:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There appears to be a difference between the way mail() works between 4.1.0 and 4.1.2. This can cause scripts which worked perfectly in PHP 4.1.0 to take as much as a minute to excecute in PHP 4.1.2. I upgraded using a pkg file from pkgmaster.com for a Cobalt RAQ4 server, and I have spoken to another PHP user using Redhat 7 who has experienced the same issue. Basically PHP mail() functions were taking as long as a minute to excecute, when prior to the upgrade they took seconds. We found that while we had no problems with PHP 4.1.0, we had to add all our IP's into the /etc/hosts file to cure the problem experienced with 4.1.2.
