Using mail() function in php.ini (Unix/Linux)

For those of you who don't know it or are struggling with the problem with the slow sending of hte e-mail behind the firewall. This problem doesn't alway lie with the DNS itself. The workaround to the problem is the hostname resolution or the alias to the hostname. Just open up the /etc/hosts file using either vi or emac and add this ... (Substitute the term in the bracket for something else) --clip-- <IP Address> <hostname> <domain name> --clip-- Do not use the dot between the hostname and the domain name. Just like this as you normally see in most host files.... <Ip Address> <hostname 1> <host nickname or secondary name> Enjoy.....
