Email sending takes 36 seconds!

I had planned on using phpMailer to handle the more intensive emailing but for cheap & nasty single emailing I was hoping the email class would handle it. Either way, I think you're right that it's something to do with the server.

Thanks again for your time & help. Btw, would u recommend swiftmailer over Phpmailer and for any particular reason? I guess it comes down to personal preference in the end..
