How to speed up email delays Print

The most common way to speed up email delays or slow emails is to add faster open DNS resolvers.

These are two main ones:

Google:

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Cisco:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

We suggest using one from each in any order. For example: 

Modify /etc/resolv.conf and before any nameserver line, add

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 8.8.8.8

This example is only for VPS and dedicated servers.

If you have a cPanel account, it's likely the server is running spam filters for incoming and outgoing which is causing slight email delays. You can also add your email to the receiving email allow list or contacts. This will allow it to receive emails faster.
