Hi,

  1. Search your computer for the 'php.ini' file....
  2. Once you have found it's location, open it using Notepad.exe
  3. Click Edit - Find and enter [mail function] now search for it within the document
  4. You should find this:

    [mail function]
    ; For Win32 only.
    SMTP = localhost
    smtp_port = 25

    ; For Win32 only.
    ;sendmail_from = me@example.com

    ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
    ;sendmail_path =sendmail -t -i

Hi,You can use sleep() function just after mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
like this

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
sleep(5);

may be it will works.
