ID: 14981 Updated by: hholzgra Old Summary: mail() function won't send mail to a domain containing '-' hyphens Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Unix PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment:
then it's the mail server on that system that doesn't get it, mail() on unix just puts together a message from the paramters you gave it without further processing and passes it transparently to the sendmail command please contact your ISP for further investigation Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-11 07:08:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not running it, my ISP is. Anyway, excuse the error, it's on unix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-11 05:51:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] there finaly is an Apache OS now? great ;) no, serious, what kind of operating system are you runnig this on, windows or *nix? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-10 17:59:18] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following example script: $r = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $s = "Message submitted at website"; $m = "From: " . $name . ", email: " . $email . "\n\n" . $message; $h = "From: " . $email . "\r\n"; mail ($r, $s, $m, $h); echo "<script language=\"javascript\">window.alert (\"Thankyou, your message have been sent!\")</script>"; ought to send mail to the specified address, but does not. Or, at least, mail does not arrive. It works with all email addresses we have tried except those on this domain (ie. 'the-total-solution.com', which seems to suggest a problem with PHP, possibly relating to the fact that the domain contains hyphens? Emails from other sources are correctly reaching this address and others in the domain. Escaping by using the address "info@the\-total\-solution.com" doesn't solve the problem either. Having raised this problem with other developers, who also tested it, we can only conclude that the problem is in PHP. I am not running PHP myself, my webserver is, so I can't give any information about PHP modules / backtrace.
