Asynchronous mail()

[rui p.]

Hi!

I changed recently my hosting provider and noticed that PHP waits
until an email is sent using mail()- a big problem if the email takes
a lot of time to deliver.
The solutions I've found aren't available to me since I don't have
access to crons.
Is there any way to prevent this behaviour? Or is there any PHP.INI
setting that could change it?
Thanks in advance!

This has nothing to do with PHP. It's all in whether your MTA queues
the outgoing mail or sends it immediately.

It's also possible that they're delaying the response to deter spammers,
but this is less likely.
