OK but why is PHP mail doing this and how do I get IIS to accept the
message? Is there anything in the PHP.ini I can add/change to fix this?
It works fine with Unix mail servers.

Just a thought, and may be wrong, but as RCPT TO in rfc 2821
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt)
Only one layer of backets is used?

Subject: [PHP-WIN] PHP Mail 501 error
Hello,
We are running MediaWiki on PHP 5.2.6 with Apache for Windows.
Every time we try to use an IIS mail server as an MTA we receive a 501
error. When we use a Unix postfix based MTA it works fine.
Could anyone please tell me what I need to do to modify my PHP.ini to
get this to work?
We have tried the workaround for Exchange 2003 as described in this
article by Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=291828
But this fixes a 501 in the HELO. The problem here is the rcpt to. It
comes up as the following:
2008-06-23 17:39:58 10.1.100.80 xxx SMTPSVC1 xxxx xxxxxxxx 0 RCPT -
+TO:<DanMashal+<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> 501 0 27 44 0 SMTP - - - -
Could anyone please provide me with some much needed insight on this
problem? I have been searching the web and have found a few workarounds
but none that actually work.
Thanks,
Dan

From the mail() documentation:
Note: The Windows implementation of mail() differs in many ways from the
Unix implementation. First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing
messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a MTA is needed
listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a
remote machine). Second, the custom headers like From:, Cc:, Bcc: and
Date: are not interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed
by PHP. As such, the to parameter should not be an address in the form
of "Something <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". The mail command may not parse
this properly while talking with the MTA.
From the example you show, it seems your problem is the last two
sentences. i.e. "DanMashal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" is not valid on
windows.

That is correct Neil. The second you try to add a display name to the
RCPT command it fails. I think windows only accepts a display name in
the DATA field. I'm thinking this is a Mediawiki problem at this point..
not a PHP problem.

I am facing a strange problem of IE double posting in case of self post. PHP
5.2.6 / IIS 5.1 on windows XP.
Before starting I must tell you that:
It works with firefox, Apache / PHP combination.
It works with IE / Apache / PHP combination
But it DOES NOT work with IE/PHP/ IIS
This is the case with all IE versions and it happens on even the windows
2003 server.
I have a form with just one field which uploads a single file and posts back
to same PHP file. The file is a csv file and it is properly read and
inserted into database. After it is successfully inserted I issue a redirect
to some other page using header("Location:users.php").
And when I see the records in database, they inserted twice. If I don't do
the redirect to some other page And display the message on the same page
that everything is all right then records are inserted only once.
It doesn't matter to what page I redirect to or if I attach any query string
or not. It is just that header("Location:any_url") causes IE to submit the
form TWICE. Not more than twice. I have checked the IIS logs and confirmed
that form is actually getting submitted twice.
21:16:31 127.0.0.1 POST /xxx/import.php 303
21:16:31 127.0.0.1 POST /xxx/import.php 303
21:16:31 127.0.0.1 GET /xxx/users.php 200
21:16:31 127.0.0.1 GET /xxx/users.php 200
Actual path it takes to import the users is this:
users.php has a link to import.php. import php first displays a form for
uploading and then posts to itself. After the files is properly uploaded and
inserted into database I return the user to users.php again using that
Location header. So there is no way that there is any kind of looping or
something.
Just to check if it is IE which has any problem with PHP header I upgraded
IE to version 7. Now when I post the form rather than posting it twice IE
just displays a message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and
records are into database only once.
I am not sure if it is IIS, PHP or IE Problem.
This is not the first time I have experienced this. I had earlier faced the
same problem but I thought I should just switch to Apache rather than use
IIS for development. But now the problem is that production server is
Windows 2003 server with IIS. (The version of PHP IIS or windows shouldn't
not matter though)
Thanks,
Sukhwinder Singh
