Folks: I just finished upgrading my Drupal site to D7. I'm having problem with Drupal sending out emails to users who request new accounts or who have forgotten their passwords. This happened very quickly with my D6 site. However, the D7 site keeps emails in the mail queue for 10-15 minutes, then sends them. But, I can send an email, through another mail server (like gmail) to the same address that is being held up in my mail queue, and it comes very quickly. I have several email accounts on the server, and it doesn't matter if I send one email from one account, to another account on my server, either. Response if very quick.
It appears that only email initiated by my Drupal 7 site is held for a longer time.
What might be going on? I don't see why email should be held for so long and it is definitely a minus for my users.
Any insight would be helpful. Bill

I use D7 with the SMTP Authentication Support module. No issues. I had no success with emails until I used this Module.

If you host your own mail service, examine its logs to see when _it_ sees them.
I do not yet have any experience sending emails from D7, so I don't know whether it batches them (it might) or not.
Thanks for the replies. Liquidweb support took this on and it turned out to be unable to write to /dev/null. It's fixed. It really shows the value of having good support by Linux guys on your server. Liquidweb is really great. I can't recommend them too highly.
Best, Bill

Hi to all,
I have website with Drupal 7.16 on it. Plan to upgrade to the latest version, 7.22. Is it safe to upgrade directly from 16 to 22 or I have to go version by version, or something? Thanks.
You can skip the minor upgrades, minor being the number to the right of the decimal point.

But only for the same major release. If going from one major release X to another major release Y be sure to have the latest versions of Drupal and contrib modules of the major release X first. Updates for major version X may not be carried to major version Y.
Thanks guys for help. It went without problems.
