From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Linux/Unix Redhat PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Mail related Bug description: Difference in mail() function in PHP 4.1.2, causes delay in sending mail.
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.
