    Problem with sending email

    Hello guys,

    I've created a private website for submitting employees reports online, now everytime an employee will submit his/her report i am sending an email alert through PHP script to remind the report receiver that he/she has receive new reports from his/her employees. Now my problem is that when the email address is from yahoo.com the email alert takes a lot of time to be recieved by yahoo mail while others receive it in just a minute or less.

    Does anyone know what could be the cause of this?

    I'll appreciate every suggestions or comments you have guys..,

    Thanks in advance..

      Hi Nert.

      I doubt the problem has anything to do with your coding, but rather latency in the Yahoo mail servers.

      Have you tried sending a regular email, via your email program, to see if that is getting through any faster?

      If this only happens to your PHP emails, it could be that Yahoo is flagging them as possible spam, causing them to undergo more spam filtering than other mail.

      A problem like that might be solved by using one of the free mail classes which, if it is any good, should minimize the risk of your mails being mistaken as spam.

          Hi Atli thanks for the reply..,

          Yup, I tried setting it up in outlook express and Yahoo! received my message in an instance, maybe your right Yahoo! is flagging my messages, but where can i possibly find a free mail classes? can you give an address where to find one? but i'll try to look somewhere in the internet too.

          Thanks for the help and suggestions Atli.. (^_^)

              You could try SwiftMailer or PHPMailer.
