I'm using PHPMailer and it hangs when sending email. The mail server thinks for a long time and as a result PHP falls off on a timeout.
Don't want to fork. Maybe someone knows how it can be handled by means of PHPMailer itself?
Tried setting the "Timeout" property, didn't help.

you need to have a sendmail daemon ( qmail ) on the server. It will process the queue. php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php look on the 'queue' page, there are a few ideas there.

Maybe do something like a task scheduler, which adds sending a letter with everything you need, and it runs separately from the script for some period of time.

Instead of sending, write an email to a json/xml file or database. And run the script that poisons the letter using the cron. If the letter is sent, delete/move the file/record.
It is also very beautifully solved by asynchronous tasks in Gearman.

If vds is on something debian - apt-get install exim4-base
or any other mail server you have worked with.
The default configs (as of fall 2011) worked out of the box with no problems.
