ID: 63719 User updated by: skunk at ipfrom dot com Reported by: skunk at ipfrom dot com Summary: mail function becomes slow until apache restart Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Mail related Operating System: gentoo linux PHP Version: 5.3.19 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: i forgot to say the sendmail command works fine and even executing from the command line a script containing the mail() function is practically instantaneous, it happens only if apache (2.2.23) executes the script. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-07 13:12:58] skunk at ipfrom dot com Description: ------------ i'm seeing this on more than one production servers: after some days of uptime the mail() function starts to take about a minute to execute and only a restart of apache (prefork) makes it fast again. one of the web servers is running roundcube which has the possibility to either use the mail() function or to connect directly to a smtp server, with the former after few days sending a mail becomes very slow while with the latest it's always fast, on a side note, when the slowness starts happening apache takes a long time to kill all processes on restart. thank you. Test script: --------------- sorry, i'm unable to replicate this issue because it happens on production servers with real traffic. Expected result: ---------------- mail() function should exec fast Actual result: -------------- when mail() slows down a restart of apache is required ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63719&edit=1
