XF 1.5 slow new user confirmation emails

[Jimmy19]

I just setup xenforo a few weeks ago. When a new user signs up, the confirmation emails takes while to get to the inbox. I know this is something on my end, because when I signed up here, it was instant.

The easiest way to test where the delay is, is to trigger an email and compare the time with the timestamp on the server in the mail log.

If the time matches, the delay is elsewhere, after it has left the server.

If you are on shared hosting, you will likely need to ask your host for the mail log.
