It seems like a bug.
If you are stuck, you may want to try this package that comes with a
mail() replacement function written in pure PHP named smtp_mail(). It
works like mail but it overcomes certain limitations. Take a look at the
test_smtp_mail.php example script.

I have already posted it to bugs.php.net
(http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43730) and php is claiming it's not a bug.
Thanks for your suggestion, but I have to use mail because this is being
offered to shared hosting customers and a mass scale. Most applications and
developers use the mail() function.
Thanks,
Dan

I have had success with IIS/SMTP using the following function that I found
on the PHP website function list (I've only slightly optimized the original
with some constants). Apparently, IIS/SMTP doesn't like the added '<' and
'>' around the "from" address, but it can be coerced into it with this
function. I've tested successfully with Outlook and Thunderbird.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] mail() Incorrect Address Format when using IIS7/FastCGI
When using IIS7 with PHP 5.2.5 with the FastCGIModule, the mail()
function returns the following error message when trying to use anything
but a plain email address (ex. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the From or To
headers:
PHP Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 Incorrect
Address Format
If you use a plain email address it works fine. An example of what
causes this problem is as follows:
Test <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The problem is that PHP is formatting the header incorrectly but adding
additional < and > tags around the entire address. This is illustrated
in this excerpt from my mail server log:
16:28:05.79 5 SMTPI-39353([XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]) inp: MAIL FROM:<Test
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>
With a plain email address, it still adds the < and > tags, but it
works. Here is an example of that from the mail server log:
16:28:21.72 5 SMTPI-39408([XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]) inp: MAIL
FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Also, this same behavior was reported in Bug #28038 but I have confirmed
that this is error does not occurs when using this same PHP version in
CGI mode with IIS7. That tells me this bug was fixed, but has reoccured
in 5.2.5 with FastCGI.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$Subject = "Test";
$Body = "Test";
$Headers = "From: Test User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" . "\r\n";
mail($To, $Subject, $Body, $Headers);
print "mail sent!";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
True result
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 Incorrect
Address Format

But if mail() does not work and the PHP developers do not want to fix,
it seems you will not solve your problem with the mail() function.

They are correct, it's not a bug in PHP.
This is the standard behaviour for the Windows implementation of mail() as
noted in the documentation for the function.
Granted it's annoying behaviour, for this reason I use the PEAR Mail
package

Hi folks,
After upgrading from php 5.2.? to php 5.2.5 I am now getting two errors I
never got before when surfing around our wiki. The first just shows up in the
error log:
[31-Jan-2008 10:38:48] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic
library 'C:\php\ext\php_pdo_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be
found.
in Unknown on line 0
However, the extensions dir is correctly defined in the php.ini file, as is
evidenced that it can load other extension from that very same directory. For
example, it can load php_mysql.dll just fine. Oddly, there do not seem to be
any negative impacts on the users of the wiki (due to this error) although this
definitely bothers me as an admin.
Any suggestions as to why this might be occurring?
The second error.... er... No, I'll put that in a second email.
Robert
