PHP mail https php.ini secure speed question
VPS customer using php mail for user signup. The mail script executes in about 20 seconds now that I have https, it used to only take 1-3 seconds tops. Is there a setting I need in my php.ini to cause this to execute faster? It's really bad for ux and I've already troubleshot the rest of the script, if I omit the mail function, it takes about 2 seconds to execute. Here, it's all textbook, take a look, if you want.
$to = "$e";
$from = "My site name ";
$subject = 'Account Activation';
$message = 'my site
