Probleme php mail receive mail to late

Question

I'm trying to excute php mail() function from my script, but I'm recieve the mail to late (after 2 hours!!!) this is mail sipmle script:

<?php 
   // print phpinfo(); 
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
set_error_handler("var_dump");
if(mail('abdelkhalek.oumaya@gmail.com', 'test 05082016', 'test')){
    echo 'done';
}
?>

Likely nothing to do with PHP. Check your MTA logs, your SMTP server logs (if you're using one), could be getting help up by content filters. Too many possible reasons. — Jonnix, Sep 05 '16 at 13:58
Delivery is not controlled by PHP. There are 2 mail servers between you PHP and your Receiving the mail. They can take as long as they like to virus check etc etc etc an email — RiggsFolly, Sep 05 '16 at 14:01

This is most likely not an issue in PHP but rather an issue with your hosting provider. Some shared hosting provider queued emails before sending them. So if that happens to be your webhost, then that is the issue. I have seen their email take 1,2 hours sometimes on shared hosting server.

Try using PHPMailer may be you found some improvement in your time. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

It's not an issue from the PHP side. This is the correct answer. – Stack Overflow Mar 31 '21 at 18:07

I recommend you to use a mail library like PHP_MAILER to take car of mail. For the delay normaly its instantly but without log we can find an answedr.

Try using php mailer and maybe it will work instantly.

Just download the zip. And copy `PHPMailerAutoload.php` and every file starting with `class.XXXX.php`. in your script just type `require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';` like in the basic exemple :) – MaximeK Sep 05 '16 at 14:56

@MaximeK Gmail rate limits and will disable your account if you [send to too many people](https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491#sendinglimitsforrelay) – Machavity Sep 05 '16 at 16:00
2K email is a lot, and can be split over more than 1 account. For starting its better without debian and smtp knowledge – MaximeK Sep 05 '16 at 16:05
