Re: Mail() function performance/optimization question

I am in a shared hosting environment. Here's the info I grab from phpinfo(): SunOS admin 5.7 Generic_106541-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-MP sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail -t SMTP: localhost I don't yet know what the "-t" flag means on the Sendmail path. Also, I included the SMTP value but I am going on the assumption that Sendmail is what I am using for mail().
