Problem with mail() when adding headers

[chriss]

Hi!

I've tried to search through the forums but I couldn't find anything useful.

 

mail($to, $topic, $body, $headers), where  $headers = 'From: someone <someone@domain>', executes *much* longer than mail($to, $topic, $body).  What can be the reason?

<?php ob_start()

 

?>

 

or post the whole page ok.

redarrow: sorry, but I don't know how to use ob_start(). I looked it up in manual but still can get it do any good.

 

anyway I'm posting my code

 

<?php
$to = 'user@domain';
$topic = 'Topic';
$body = 'Text';
$header = 'From: xyz <xyz@domain>';
mail($to, $topic, $body, $header);
?>

 

I wrote ob_start() in the begining but nothing changed. Without $header mail is sent instantly. With $header script loads quite long and the email is sent after some time.
