Site is taking 20+ minutes to send email

[CachePuzzles]

Hi there,

I'm probably missing something simple, but I'm just setting up my first site so I guess that's bound to happen.

I've installed the LoginRegistration module and at first I was thinking that the confirmation emails weren't being sent. However I now see that new user confirmation emails are taking 20+ minutes to arrive. Is there a way to speed this up?

Also the email is coming from processwire@mydomain - I couldn't found a place to change this.

Any advice or help would be great!

Hi @CachePuzzles, welcome to the forum.

That's way more time than it should take. Are you using one of the WireMail series of modules for your emails? If so, which one?

I've used WireMailSMTP in the past to send via my own email provider's SMTP server and it works very well (although SMTP can be difficult to setup,) usually taking less than 10 seconds for email to arrive in my inbox sending that way.

There are also WireMail modules for SendGrid, Mailgun, Mandrill, Swift, PHPMailer and Amazon SES to name a few. You can lookup more wiremail modules here.
