[PHP] mail() function is successful but page hangs

[Phil Schwarzmann]

So it looks as if the mail() function seems to work for me but whenever
the script is executed, it web page just hangs!
 
Why do you think the web page keeps hanging up (after a couple minutes
the user eventually gets a 'page not found' error - at least i think
that's the error), but the script still works and the e-mail message is
sent?
 
Strange.
