[xmail] Message Retries problem?
Hello, I want to submit a problem I just try to understand and solve. We have here 3 massive post servers under XMAIL servers WS2003. We send around 1.5M messages with them each day. I've used zinc for customizing retries for our needs with: D:\dev\mail\xmail utility\zinczinc 400 1 11 01 send-time = 0 next-try = 400 @ 0 days 00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds. 02 send-time = 400 next-try = 800 @ 0 days 00 hours 06 minutes 40 seconds. 03 send-time = 1200next-try = 1600 @ 0 days 00 hours 20 minutes 00 seconds. 04 send-time = 2800next-try = 3200 @ 0 days 00 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds. 05 send-time = 6000next-try = 6400 @ 0 days 01 hours 40 minutes 00 seconds. 06 send-time = 12400 next-try = 12800 @ 0 days 03 hours 26 minutes 40 seconds. 07 send-time = 25200 next-try = 25600 @ 0 days 07 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds. 08 send-time = 50800 next-try = 51200 @ 0 days 14 hours 06 minutes 40 seconds. 09 send-time = 102000 next-try = 102400 @ 1 days 04 hours 20 minutes 00 seconds. 10 send-time = 204400 next-try = 204800 @ 2 days 08 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds. 11 send-time = 409200 next-try = 409600 @ 4 days 17 hours 40 minutes 00 seconds. Yesterday for another reason I grep XMAIL logs for 15 emailing campaigns, then I found strange results, we still successfully SMTP after the 4 days announced by ZINC. Here are the results: 20060301404339174091 20060302400 336 342 200603030 0 1 20060304285 169 188 200603050 0 0 20060306112 972 900 200603070 0 0 First column is the date. Third ones are the 3 post servers SMTP results, and I still get SMTP after 6 days. This exactly the same for all the 15 campaigns. I need to precise, if it can helps: - each campaign are marked with one ID in our mail-from so it can be twice the same line. - We automatically restart XMAIL every 24 hours, stopping it normally in a batch, then start it with: net stop Xmail Server net start Xmail Server - Out registry entry is: -Qn 256 -Ql -Ll -Ql -Sl -Sp 25 -Qt 400 -Qi 1 -Qr 11 -Ln 14 Thank you for your hep, -- DOLIST Technical Center __ DOLIST.NET, Internet E-mail List Server Technology DOLIST information at : http://www.dolist.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should use the PHPMailer class instead of the native mail() command. Many of the popular PHP applications already do this. http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ Thanks. That worked great.

[xmail] Re: Using XMail with php
Hi, Include the following line in the begining of apache startup script (and after #/bin/sh, of course), than restart apache: export MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot Perhaps you will also have to suid root sendmail binary that comes with XMail. Another perhaps now for xmail developers, sendmail binary could defaults to /var/MailRoot when that environment variable is not defined.

I'm creating a web page that uses the php mail() function to send the data from a form. The php scripts work as expected except for the mail() function which fails. My question: If I run XMail in debug mode will I see an entry for any attempt to access the sendmail module, or will I only see an error if the connection is successful but the data is formatted wrong? I would expect that any attempt to connect would be displayed, but for some reason I'm not seeing anything at all. I've even tried connecting directly using: $fd = popen(/usr/sbin/sendmail,w); fputs($fd, .. Nothing. Yet I can log on and send mail from the command line using mail without problems. Any tips on getting the php mail() function to work with XMail? I'm running low on ideas here.
