[PHP] mail() and unpredictable results From: 800 LB Guerilla (corporate <email protected>)
Date: 11/03/00

hi

am using sendmail with mail()... i have created a test mail program

/* recipients */
$recipient = "corporate <email protected>";
print "started mailing <BR><BR>";
/* subject */
$subject = "This is a test of the mail function";

/* message */
$message = "This is a test\n";
$message .= "of the\n";
$message .= "mail function\n";

/* auto signature */
$message .= "--\r\n"; //Signature delimiter
$message .= "800 LB Guerilla";

/* additional headers */

$headers .= "From: 800 LB Guerilla.com <corporate <email protected>>\n";

$headers .= "X-Sender: <corporate <email protected>>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$headers .= "Return-Path: <corporate <email protected>>\n"; // Return
path for errors
print "right before mail<BR><BR>";
/* and now mail it */
mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);
print "after mail";

The script hangs the server for a couple of minutes then prints

started mailing

right before mail

that is all... it doesn't return the last debug print but it does send
the mail! it also hangs up the webserver and forces you to load another
page and then it functions again... my sendmail_path is
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t and my sendmail_from is no value... is there a
reason that sendmail doesn't return to the php script after the mail is
sent?

any help is appreciated!
thanks

pat
