There's no ETA on that.

mail() is one of the most abused functions, and those abusing it does cause us trouble, they get x10Hosting servers marked as sending spam/allowing spam to be sent. In turn that makes a lot legit users frustrated as their users (on forums, mailing lists and so on) does not receive the e-mails they send, and they keep getting mail blocked messages back.

If you have the option to use smtp for sending mail in your script, I'd suggest looking into enabling and configuring that for now.

Go to cPanel and then click on email Account. Click on configure mail client there. SMTP settings can be found there.
