How Much Can Php's Mail Function Really Handle
Apr 15, 2007
I have mixed feelings on the mail() function in php. I've seen it send out amazing numbers of emails and yet I keep reading that it is prone to problems. I'm wondering if someone can put an approximation on what you could/would send out in say 60 seconds. I know that there are tonnes of variables, so i'll try and remove a few:
- server hardware is typical of a cpanel/WHM shared hosting environment
- running apache/linux
- email is say 20kb HTML format
- mail is sent in a php script loop, one by one; alternatively, mail() could be called in clusters of x emails - like send 5 emails at once
- there are 400 recipients

I have problem:
1. Function mail(); not working
2. osCommerce e-mail error:
Code:
Gid 32157 is not permitted to relay mail, or has directly called /usr/sbin/exim instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.
3. Fowarders working only on internal accounts e-mail
fowarder@mydomain.com --> email@mydomain.com - working
fowarder@mydomain.com --> my-emiail123@mail.pl - not working
This is VPS cPanel (OpenVZ) on my dedicated server.

I have just changed servers and uploaded a mail() script which was working on my previous config but does not work on the new server config. What is stopping the emails from being delivered, is there something new in WHM that I need to do?
Here are my WHM and cPanel details:
WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.15.0-R18264
REDHAT 4 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0

I just re-installed PHP4, Apache, and MySQL and now the "mail" function in PHP will not work. Is there a way to correct this? Is there some configuration value in Apache or PHP I must change?

I used the mail function in php to send mails to my 25000 members in a loop..
After using it my server has gone very slow.. Load has increased a lot from 2 to around 20.. Major load is taken by sql and then httpd (both have increased)..
I had restarted mysql and httpd.. even reinstalled apache but no help..

I have a dedicated that suddenly stop php mail() function to work.
Very strange because if I run php script with mail() function as root on command line all working fine.
But If I run php script with mail() function in my browser so not work. Seems that only ROOT can run mail() function.

I recently started using lighttpd + with PHP using Fast-CGI on a server hosting 14 blogs powered by WordPress, the server works great and this change reduced server load in about 50% which is nice for us, considering some of our blogs have a very high visitor traffic.
Our only problem so far is that since we switched to lighttpd the PHP's mail() function is just not working. I have compiled and re-compiled PHP and Lighttpd without any effects. I have a test site still working with Apache and PHP scripts can send mail without problems.
I've searched forums and Google for some kind of answer but none whatsoever maybe someone can give me pointers on how to solve this. Thanks a lot!!
Server details:
Lighttpd version: 1.4.15
PHP version: 4.4.4
Kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp
Server has cPanel/WHM installed
PHP configure options:
--prefix=/usr/local --with-xml --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --with-curl --enable-exif --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-gettext --with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2004g --enable-mbstring --enable-mbstr-enc-trans --enable-mbregex --with-mcrypt --enable-magic-quotes --with-mysqli --with-mysql=/usr --with-openssl --enable-discard-path --with-pear --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars --with-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-xmlrpc --with-zlib --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl --enable-fastcgi --enable-force-redirect

how to set up the mail () function in my PHP.ini on a Linux server.
Is there a generic path that I need to use in order to allow the mail function to work in the scripts?
We do have a mail server set up, the address of which being "mail.companyname.com" ... do I need to insert that into the ini file somwhere instead?

I just purchased a vps from rapidswitch, installed lamp, webmin, etc. All is working fine, with one exception. I can't send mail via mail() function.
I have set the MX so that my email addresses are handled by google for domains so i can send and receive mails without problems.
What i cant do, is for example to install a cms and make it send emails for the new registered users, etc.
I have installed postfix via yum, and i've tried to configure it.. but i kind of give up after a few hours of trying.
Someone could point me to the right direction on how to configure postfix for just this ? to be able to send mails via php.
I don't care if it's postfix, qmail, etc.

I'm trying to send email from a domain using code like this:
$email = "me@domain.com";
$from = "From: $email
";
mail($receiver, $subject, $message, $from);
But i see in the mail logs that from address is being overwritten using the default user for the domain. Is there anyway to configure plesk or postfix to respect those headers?

Plesk 12.0.18 Update #38

Outgoing mail control functions properly for domains, but it does not count or limit subdomains.
For example, if you have a subdomain like:
sub.domain.tld
And an email account on that subdomain, like:
info@sub.domain.tld
Then outgoing mail limits are not applied to that subscription/domain/mail account. You are able to send more emails than the limit.
Also, if you go to:
-> Tools and Settings
-> Outgoing mail control
And try to see statistics for that subscription/domain/mail account, it shows that there are not sent emails, even if you have sent emails. Of course I checked it many hours after sending, or even the next days.

I've only ever had a shared hosting account with Hostgator, plus a few freebie hosts. However, I'm now pulling some heavy traffic and I'm concerned that Hostgator is going to suspend me soon.
My traffic on Saturday for example was ~2600 unique visitors and ~5000 page views. All of this traffic was from WordPress blogs and a small SMF forum. I've since converted one of the blogs to a static site to limit my CPU usage and I've setup caching for my other WordPress blogs. Advice I've heard on the Hostgator forums is that 7000 page views per day for a database driven site is around the time you should be upgrading and based on my traffic from Saturday (which admittedly was a bit of a spike) I could potentially be receiving 150,000 page views/month, so about 20x the point at which they recommend upgrading at.
Anyhows, in a nutshell I need to upgrade, or risk Hostgator throwing a tantrum at me ... but I don't have a lot of cash to pay for an upgrade Due to my lack of cashflow I've been considering moving to a VPS. The company which has interested me the most is HostV.com who offer a 256 MB (with 1000 MB 'burst' RAM) for only US$39.99 which seems quite reasonable to me.
They say that their 256 MB plan should be able to handle over 5000 page views per day for a WordPress run site, but I'm a little suspect. Do any of you know if this is a reasonable expectation from a 256 MB chunk of a virtual server? I have no idea and am always wary of believing the sales pitch of a random company across the other side of the world.

PHPAuction GPL Enhanced V2.51 Auction Software seems to be the perfect solution for my client, but the PHP requirements are very specific and the host we currently are using doesn't allow anyone to play with .htacess which is the usual workaround. Can anyone recommend a host that they know has the following setup?
Minimal server requirements are as follows:
- Apache web server
- PHP 4.0.6 or later (see below) with safe_mode=Off - register_globals=on - no open_basedir restriction
- MySQL Database - 3.0 or higher
- "Cookies" MUST be enabled on your computer!
Alternatively, does anyone know of any auction software that restricts sellers to only the admin?

I have a client that asked me to educate myself about web hosting and make a recommendation to him about where he should be. He currently has a shared hosting server at Network Solutions and finds unexplained slow downs and disk corruption reports in his forums DB unacceptable.
I'm glad I found this site-lots of good info but nothing like throwing up some stats and seeing what people recommend. The client told me he wanted to move to a dedicated server but I'm thinking a VPS might do the trick. Especially if upgraded with dedicated Core as well as RAM such as wiredtree is offering.
Looking for a managed, Unix based server that in a typical month serves
100k unique visitors
230k page views
500Gb of downloads
But needs to be easily upgradeable to handle his expected traffic levels in the next year of monthly visits in the order of:
250k unique visitors
600k page views
1.1Tb of throughput
As far as features:
*Currently they use about 15 gigs of disk space. Some of that is inefficient disk management but the bulk is them supporting previous software releases.
*needs to be fully managed
*US datacenter with all the features you guys would expect to have as far as backbone access, security, power backups, etc..
*Backups by provider. Let's say 5 gigs worth since the old software versions don't really need to be backed up.(I'll recommend his own backups as well)
*Either plesk or cpanel
*15 minute hardware SLA is what the client is asking for but i'd like to present some comparisons to 1 hour SLA companies to see how much he'd save.
And finally, i tried to search for the answer to this but the keywords kept bringing up lots of hits without good info. The client sells software so the bandwidth needed is pretty consistent until they release a new version. Then it skyrockets to the point they may have 1500 people trying to download a 50Meg file simultaneously. What is the right way to handle that? Use a CDN or negotiate with the hosting provider to provide burstable bandwidth as needed. As a side note while looking at many offerings I was most surprised that bandwidth seems to sold in large chunks with overage costs hidden.

I'm not quite sure how much of Ram I need for my vps, But I'm going to get
1GB Vps from wiredtree.com
Anyone can tell me what kind of website I would be able to run on such an VPS? If it's just wordpress driven website...
Maybe anyone can share how much traffic your site have and how much ram it's using?
At the moment I have website with about 40k uniques/day and ~100k pageloads per day hosted on shared hosting but they have gave me 3days to find another hosting because they say I use to much of their traffic...

We want to know what configuration would be best.
We expect no more than 500 visitors a day to this site.
Even Vimeo is stuttery and we would like to avoid that.
