Mail sending is slow on server
Why mail is taking time to be send on apache-linux server
Re: Mail sending is slow on server
My guess would be simply because the server is too slow, internet connection slow or the server is doing too much at the time of sending.

Mail sending is slow on some servers.
PHP Pear mail module can be used to send mails in these scenarios.
Following are the steps for configurations/changes to be made: -
I] On Linux server: -
1.Activate Pear mail module by installing it on server with the command below: -
pear install --alldeps Mail
2.Set sendmail path in system’s php configuration file (php.ini)
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i –odb
Increase memory limit in php.ini
memory_limit = 32M
II] In deployed Drupal’s folder: -
1. Create a smtpmail.inc file in includes directory with following code blocks: -
<?php
require_once 'Mail.php';
require_once 'PEAR.php';
function drupal_mail_wrapper($message) {
global $smtpmail;
$headers['From'] =$message['from'];
if ( empty($headers['To'])) {
$headers['To'] = $message['to'];
}
$headers['Subject'] = $message['subject'];
$recipients = $message['to'];
$mail_object =&Mail::factory('smtp', $smtpmail);
$output = $mail_object->send($recipients, $message['headers'], $message['body'], $message['subject']);
return $output;
}
2. Modify mail setting codes given below in settings.php present in sites->default directory: -
/*PHP Pear mail module settings */
$conf = array(
'smtp_library' => 'includes/smtpmail.inc'
);
global $smtpmail;
$smtpmail= array();
$smtpmail["host"] = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$smtpmail["auth"] = TRUE;
$smtpmail["username"] = 'info@objectseek.com';
$smtpmail["password"] = 'info@osit';
