emails reaching faster?

[duniyadnd]

Using MySQL and PHP for enabling Mailing lists. Is there a way of "hurrying" up the speed an email will reach a user? Sometimes hotmail blocks them for about a few hours and then probably checks them for spam and then sends them into the inbox. This is turning out frustrating, when simple scripts like remember password have a time delay to reach a user

As far as I know, you can't increase the speed, once it's left your server, it's out of your hands. I get this problem with hotmail and netscape mail, very frustrating :(

That's what I thought... I was hoping there were some tricks like direct it via a certain portal or something (wishful thinking).

Thanks anyway.

Maybe if you had a faster server, maybe that would speed it up.

Server's fast enough, it reaches other accounts within seconds. But since major email account servers like yahoo and hotmail have to deal with who knows how many spams a day, the traffic by unknown/uncommon names (like mine) are slowed down and checked for the keywords that indicate spam or attachments which might hold virus (any extensions with exe, scr etc.)

This is a major reason you're starting to see spam come from anonymous people with hotmail and yahoo accounts, cause they are hardly stopped.
