Re: mail() & getenv() problems (after 4.1.2 update)...

I'm having the same problem - I've been using the mail() command for quite some time now and it's been working 100% and executing immediately. Suddenly, this morning, it is taking about 60 seconds to send mail, delaying the display of the php web page by that same amount of time. I have checked the mail server and sending mail from the command prompt (linux) and there is no delay there. Does anybody have any clue? I even momentarily downgraded to 4.1.0 to make sure it wasnt a bug in 4.1.2 "Paul" <paul.mullett@nlightn.co.uk> wrote in message news:20020307193747.99520.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Can nobody help?
