PHP Bug Type: Mail related
Bug description: mail() is sending emails it shouldn't be
Description:
------------
I have been working on a simple cron system. I have had no issue with it
up until yesterday. I am not 100% sure how to duplicate this since I am
stuck with this issue and cannot get stop it...
The problem that is happening is when calling mail() for only 1 test
email, it sends over 200 messages with a totally different subject and
message... It's like the emails are cached or something, not my area of
expertise.
I am reporting this to make note of the issue, I doubt I am the only one
having it.
This information may be helpful also. At some point, while still
developing the script, the script did send run though a loop where it would
have sent out over 1,000 emails (all addressed to me). Could these emails
somehow be stuck in the system? I am not that savvy when it comes to these
things... These extra emails are being sent when I am using any script now
that uses the mail function. Thus mail is absolutely useless at this point
for me and has me at a stand still for this script. I have even tried
creating a new file and only having the mail function with a test message
to me and it does the exact same thing. Every script on my system does this
now.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Like I have said, I am not aware of how to duplicate what triggered this
to happen; but for me, just calling
mail('[email protected]' 'Test subject', 'test message', 'From: [email protected]',
'-f [email protected]');
Will send out 100-200 emails to me with a message of an email I was
testing yesterday.
Expected result:
----------------
I'd expect to see a single email with the proper subject and content.
Actual result:
--------------
I do receive the test email but I am also receiving between 100-200 emails
of a previous email. Makes me wonder who is getting who's emails...
