Using PHP to send email via Cool Stack

I created an HTML form that takes a user's input data and passes it to a PHP file for processing. My problem is the following: when the 2 files (html & php) are put on a test server, the email information comes through to the MS Outlook Inbox within 2 seconds. When the same 2 files are put on a production server, it takes a minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes for the email information to come through to the MS Outlook Inbox. What do you think the problem could be?
The test server is configured as follows:
OS release: Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u3wos_10 X86
Load: 0
Idle: 91%
Using Cool Stack 1.3 by the OpenSolaris Web Stack project which includes PHP version 5.2.6 and Apache Server version 2.2.9
The production server is configured as follows:
OS release: Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
Load: 1
Idle: 66%
Using Cool Stack 1.3 by the OpenSolaris Web Stack project which includes PHP version 5.2.6 and Apache Server version 2.2.9
If you need more info on the servers, please let me know. Any ideas on the cause of the slow email is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Hi.
You php script send mail direct to Mail Server or use local sendmail?
It's may be problem sendmail configuration on product server.
Check /var/log/syslog on production server.
Check mailq on production server immediately after submitting form.
Regards.

Using T-Mobile without T-Mobile Internet but

I am simply looking for a way to send out information from my phone

Any tips?

If it is just about sending e-mails I would suggest adding t-zones pro for $4.99 and you get unlimited wireless internet. The one for $20 is for using your phone as a modem on your PC, not using the browser on the phone itself.

One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

Sending email via PHP: "unknown sender" says gMail?...

Hi all
I am having an issue with email I send through a form, using
php.
The email is sent and everything works fine, except that the
sender is not correctly identified:
gMail lists the email sender as "(unknown sender)", while
other email programs list it as
"[email protected]", which is the account name of the
hosting company...
here's my headers declaration in PHP:
$headers = 'Content-type: text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1'."\r\n";
$headers .= 'To: '.$to."\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Price Quote Request
<[email protected]>'."\r\n";
$subject = 'Quote Request from MoMAcorporategifts.org
('.date('m.d.y').')';
I assumed that the From line would take care of this, bbut
apparently not...
How can I solve this?

I ALWAYS use \r\n for line feeds, for cross-platfrom
compatibility (Windows use \n and ignore \r,
Macs use \r\n)
I tried removing the "to:" from the header, gMail still
displays the received email as "unknown sender"

Is anyone else having trouble sending email via O2 using Apple Mail (However, I can receive fine)

Since the upgrade to Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) I have noit been able to send email via Apple Mail through the O2 network in the UK. O2 say they are aware of this but that it is something that Apple need to address via a patch.

Following a 45 minute call to O2 yesterday I've just had a further conversation with O2 who advised me to change my 'port setting' to 25. Mail now works fine! Panic over.

Cannot send email via Hotmail through port 587 with Secure Connection (SSL) set

Something is blocking my attempts to send email (with Outlook Express) via my hotmail.com account. The error I receive is as follows:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'Hotmail', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
When Hotmail.com first changed over to a POP3 server (Sept 2009), I could send emails through them using port 587, which they require. But then something happened, with no changes on my part, to disable my ability to send.
I have checked and rechecked my Outlook Express account settings. I can send email through another third-party mail account (at 1&1 Internet.com) using port 587, which does not require setting SSL to yes. I can also ping the Hotmail SMTP server via port 587 and receive a response from it.
I connect to Verizon DSL via a Westell 327W modem/router. Clearly it is not blocking port 587 without SSL. Does it have the capability to block SSL traffic? Or is the Verizon server the culprit, not allowing emails to be sent via Hotmail.com?
Two different computers on my LAN have the same problem sending emails via Hotmail.com. I have tried everything the Hotmail people have suggested; at this point they think it is an ISP problem, hence this post. This problem doesn't make sense to me and is driving me crazy. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

You can still have your reply address set to your hotmail address. And you don't have to really remember to do anything. Configure your client for the HOTMAIL account with Verizon's outgoing server. It will automatically send via Verizon. You don't reveal your verizon.net address, you are just using their server to transmit.

Gmail taking ages to send email via mail app

I bought a MacBook air yesterday and set up my gmail account on the mail app. Everything seemed to be working okay at first but now it's takkng at least five minutes to send a plain text email, one email I tried sending last night didn't send until this morning! I tried changing the SSL port to 25, 465 and 587 not only do they not work but then it stops my mail from moving into the folders or trash, they move and then go back to my inbox.
Please help!

When I am in a hotel out of town or overseas- or just anywhere where I don't have my home ISP - how can I not only RECEIVE but also SEND eMail via my Mail program?
If your ISP is like mine, it authenticates you for outgoing e-mail by being able to determine that you're accessing the Internet from within their network. If your ISP is so configured, they'll offer the ability to authenticate to their SMTP server with a password. My ISP does not.
However, MobileMe does provide its own authenticating SMTP server that you should be able to use from anywhere. Try an SMTP server of smtp.mac.com (smtp.me.com will probably also work) with settings of "Use default ports", "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)", and "Authentication" by password, your "User Name" the part of your MobileMe ID before the "at" sign, and your password your MobileMe password.
For non-MobileMe outgoing e-mail, you'll need to locate an SMTP server that you can use.
Also: Anyway to attach more than 1 file (say photo) at a time using MobileMe and my mail account? For 22 small photos do I have to hit attach each time? I can't seem to select the folder they are in and get all 22 to attach...
I haven't tried that, but I would expect to have to attach them one at a time.

Cannot send emails via at&t

I have at&t internet and cannot send using my at&t email. I can send via gmail. Or if I go use someone elses internet, not being at&t, I can send. At&t said it is a mac issue. I told them it is their issue with macs since I can send using other providers.
Anyone know of a fix?

Does not help.. my problem is a little different
I have an iMac and I cannot send emails via outlook 2011. I have 3 emails stuck in the sent box... They are not in my sent or inbox. Every time I send an email it first tries to send these 3 mails. for 2 I get an error code 3210 and for one "5.1.2 or other punctuation after the recipient's email address. g5sm23942864eem.4". I have an euronet account and not a hotmail account.

Can't Send email via Frontier

I have a new iPhone4 from Verizon. All is working well except that I cannot send email via my Frontier.com account. I receive email just fine but when I try to send I get a message that includes: "rejected by the server because it does not support relaying." What is that all about?

I found another thread that suggested I set up another account using Microsoft Exchange with my email address. This has worked and I can now send emails!

Sending emails via Forms or pl/sql

Does anyone know how to implement UTL_SMPT for sending emails via Forms or pl/sql ?
If not, any other suggestions for sending a newsletter-type of email to a fairly large list of people ?
Thanks,

If your are using microsoft windows you can achieve this by using MAPI SESSION & MAPI MESSAGE ActiveX Control.
These controls are not installed in windows by default, you have to install these from some cd like visual basic, visual studio etc.

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

I think you have to turn off Private Browsing.
Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.
