Re: mail() issue...

I did have that similar problem when it took about a minute or two on unix machine. It turn out to be a DNS issue, so the successful workaround I made was to use the host file instead in /etc/hosts by added the machine name to it since that what the sendmail use. Maybe this is in your case? --snip-- <ip address> <machine name> <machine name dot domain name dot com/org/net> --snip-- Scott "Paul Danko" <pdanko@gotoami.com> wrote in message news:016101c4cd9e$62077800$f506a8c0@brain... > I am building an application that uses the mail() command.
