the server completes the function "mail" in 5 mins

I was having problems with my site and made few checks:
one of them was this html + php:
<html>
<head><title>baaad server</title></head>
<body>
<?php
mai("my e-mail","subject","message","headers");
?>
</body>
</html>

It takes up to 5 mins to send the mail. Why? There are no mistakes but the send is completed after whole 5 mins. I called the webmasters but they dont know what the problem is. Please give me suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

It should be "mail(" not "mai(" - that might be one problem?

it isn't the script I bet

it pobably has to do with either the sending or receiving mail server, try some different email addresses on different servers and see if the results vary.

There is no difference when I change the e-mails and the sercers.ahhh.what could it be? I know that in the world of the machines one thing works or it does not work. This is something in the middle.:))

does your mail server send it out instantaneously? Have you checked the maillogs?

I don't know.I guess I'll have to ask the webmasters.
Hope they know at least this. It is a very good server because it costs less than $4 a month(5 mbs) and has a terrific outside traffic.
