but it happens few times in one of my site getting email late 20min to 1hour.
The mail server is the one that queues the mail; Postman delivers it the instant it is told to. The only thing I can recommend is switching mail servers. Maybe try Mandrill or SendGrid.
yesterday i got 5 orders from that site. the first order email came 20min late rest 4 came in time. thats a big trouble because this is restaurant they need to cook food as soon as they get order.
In my opinion, that’s not what e-mail is for. A restaurant order system should use notifications built on a web service, pushed to a cellphone app or similar. E-mail is not a guaranteed messaging system.
is that mean uninstall postman and install sendgrid?
No, SendGrid is just a regular SMTP server, so you can configure Postman to use it like any other SMTP server.
But you do need to signup for an account at SendGrid, using the email address that your website order form uses.
sendgrid provides 12000 email per month free. i actually dont need that much. can i use that service? if so then do you have any manual how to synchronize with postman and sendgrid?
Yes anyone can use their service 🙂
You just need to use their SMTP settings in Postman.
Run the wizard and type in this Outgoing Mail Server Hostname : smtp.sendgrid.net
hi, i just goto postman setting and did the following settings. its working now. is that all i need to do? or anything else?

hi jason
send grid was very good last couple of weeks. but dont know why today it sending email late. any issues?
Postman does not hold your mail; it is delivered as soon as it is received so that your user can continue using your website.
SendGrid has their own queueing algorithms so your question is better directed to them.
