i'd suggest one thing - try this (it will give more light if the problem is in your
mailserver):
telnet localhost 25
helo there
mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
data
from: "your name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to: "name 1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "name 2" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
subject: some subject
some nice body

First, I tried making mail() function work() on a Win2k - IIS 5.0 server and on
Win98SE - Apache 1.3.19 both with PHP 4.0.4pl1.
there are several things wrong (so far it wouldn't be me the problem ;-) ) :
- first :
mail ("Arnaud <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>","A subject here","A message body here",...);
(as mentioned in PHP manual), It won't work, i have a "Warning: Server error on
blabla.php3:lineXX" but if the "To:" Field is replace by just an email adress :
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]",....); this would work... So I can't send mails with the name
of the recipients properly set (just their email adress)...
NB: Multiple "To:" Recipients works but only with email adresses
That's not the most important problem for me, the most important is Cc: and Bcc: won't
work.
The manual mentions to add From: Cc: and Bcc: information, in the fourth parameters
(the headers)... So I tried :
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]","A subject here","A (very nice !) body here","From: The
Administrator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>nBcc: My Friend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>nCc: My Father
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>");
it obviously doesn't work :-(( (that's why I'm writing you !!)
There are several things to say :
- The From: section of headers works well, nothing to say about it... No problem
- Seems the Bcc: part is just ignored, nothing happen, no mail is sent to Bcc: address
- For Cc:, when typed "cc:" (all lowercase) seems to be ignored but when typed "Cc:"
=> It looks like there is a memory leak or something like that both IIS and Apache
return me a "emalloc() : unable to allocate -851230 bytes"... The number of
unallocated bytes is not ever the same but this is the same error message...
Extra info :
- On both config, the mail server is a local mail server (FTGate 2.2.2.1)
- It seems that this bug is similar to #9858 and #9859 in the bug database
