Reeeally Slow Mime Mail.

macosxguy

All the other forms on my site are speedy but my mime mail form takes about a minute to process. I haven't had any luck searching for an answer to this question so I thought I'd post here.

What could be the problem? I'm using really basic code from the zend site. I suspect the problem is a simple one, but here is the code anyway:

<php>
if ($POST['name'] && $POST['email'] && $POST['message']) {
$to = "me@example.com";
$subject = "Mail from Website";
$message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>Info Request from Website</title>
</head>
<body>
Name: " . $POST['name'] . " 
Company: " . $POST['company'] . " 
Email: " . $POST['email'] . " 
Phone: " . $POST['phone'] . " 
Method: " . $POST['method'] . " 
Subject: " . $POST['subject'] . " 
Other: " . $POST['other'] . " 
Message: " . $POST['message'] . "
</body>
</html>
";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From:" . $POST['email'] . "\r\n";
if (@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
header("Location: index.php?action=mail&success=yes");
} else {
header("Location: index.php?action=mail&success=no");
}
} else {
header("Location: index.php?action=mail&success=no");
};
</php>

Thanks in advance!

well not too sure, im thinking that its connecting to mail and sending thus this is your slow time isue...

But i maybe wrong

o and never use <html><head><title> etc in a message

You'll have to be more specific about the connecting to the server problem. The mail server is on the same machine.

As well, this is MIME encoded mail, and the code was taken directly from an example from zend.com, so I have no doubt the problem is not related to the HTML tags.

i never said the <hml> tags was the problem.. but connecting to the mail will mean.. going to mail then sending it.... Most forms take a little while to load.. i have one that takes about30-45seconds... which is using mail();

so maybe its got something to do with that..
