I think you need write more info about your mail system. Or not?

The requirements to configure for email-

* Improve performance by queuing emails and send them at a later time.
* Provide a script can be executed from a cronjob to send the queued emails.
* If email notifications fail, they should remain in the queue and must not be lost.
*Emails targetted to invalid addresses must not be kept in the queue. A message is considered to be sent successfully as soon as it is delivered to the email server configured in Mantis, if the email server failed to send the message, it will send the NDR back to the email address configured in ‘return_path_email’ configuration item.
* By default, the old behaviour for handling emails should be kept. Hence, users must configure queuing, otherwise all messages will be sent synchronously.
Configuring Queuing

Set ‘email_send_using_cronjob’ configuration item to ON.

Sending the Emails
Following is the command line we need to execute:

php /path/to/mantis/core/send_emails.php

ollowing are the settings that determine how often it the script should run. In this case it’s every minute:

Minute = *, Hour = *, Day = *, Month = *, Weekday = *

or hosted environments offering cPanel, the above information will be set after clicking “Cron jobs”, “Advanced (Unix Style)”. You will typically want to also provide your email as the address to which the cronjob output should be sent. This will help you to make sure that the script is running successfully. Once this is established, you should remove your email to avoid getting an email every minute.
