You bet.  Sorry about the missing references from the other email,
by the way.  I was on the phone and clicked "Send" a bit too hastily.

Thanks Daniel.  I will suggest that to the developer and see if we can get
some useful information to further the troubleshooting process.

You can do a debug_print_backtrace()[1] call right after the call
to mail(), or you can use a profiler like Xdebug[2].  You can also
check the Apache error log to see if anything popped up.  It'll be
more helpful if you have error_reporting set to E_ALL, mind you.  If
you just want to see if mail() is encountering any errors itself, wrap
the call in an `if` condition block:

Re: [PHP] mail() function on Windows (WAMP Server)

[David Armstrong]

I modified the php.ini in both the apache/bin directory, and also the php
directory.

Is there some way to get a trace of the code execution?  The SMTP log files
are completely worthless.  They do not show any sort of connection attempt.

Per list rules, please hit "reply-all" and post your response
below the quoted email in the future.  Thanks.

Did you set these as such before or after you last tested?  And
did you restart Apache/IIS after saving your changes to the php.ini
file?  And lastly, are you certain you edited the correct php.ini
file?  If accessing the script via the web, check out the

Did you update your php.ini on the WIMP/WAMP box to use SMTPm and
to properly configure it for the server?

As the time of writing this, I have installed the missing Net_SMTP pear package 
unto my Linux box. I have just tested it, and I have received two email 
messages to the desired mailbox, without having to install a mail server. 
Thanks for your help.

I really appreciate this.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Using PEAR Issues

[Ken Guest]

you have to install the net_smtp package, simply with this command:
$ pear install net_smtp-1.4.2  (which will explicitly install version
1.4.2 of Net_SMTP)

If that doesn't work. for whatever reason, you could download the
package manually from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP/download
and install it by hand; though for reasons I've outlined in a previous
post to this list I'd suggest you use the pear installer.

Well, hold it. I have edited my code to hold the information as we have 
discussed earlier, and this is the error I have now:

Warning:  include_once(Net/SMTP.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open 
stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 348



Warning:  include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Net/SMTP.php' for 
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on 
line 348



Fatal error:  Class 'Net_SMTP' not found in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on 
line 349

I am not sure what this means. If I have installed pear correctly, what else do 
I have to do here? I can see that I have some "significant" error messages than 
not getting anything at all. 

Thanks for your help.

Yes, the example you provide is the right direction - you can put in
the smtp details you use to connect from Evolution to GMail, you don't
need to setup a separate smtp server on your system.

I saw something like that on 
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm,
 and this is probably what you are talking about?

 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
 'auth' => true,
 'username' => $username,
 'password' => $password));
Do I still need to install a mail server? I have Evolution Mail on my Linux 
box, and looks like that is a client and not a server. 
Or, can I use any of the mail smtp setup, like Google? Or, do use some 
authentication information from 
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, since I use 
U-Verse at home? 

Thanks for your help.

Read the PEAR documentation:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php
You can use other backends than just 'mail' - try using the smtp and
fill in your smtp settings as needed.

I have mentioned several posts earlier that I have done nothing about my 
php.ini file. From what you said, since I use U-Verse, am I supposed to do 
something as described here: 
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf
 
I thought with PEAR, you don't need to do that anymore. Or, am I wrong?

The PEAR Mail package does not fall back from one mechanism to another
if the first fails.

So did you try using the 'smtp' backend and passing all the connection
details rather than 'mail'?

Evolution is a mail client, not a mail server. Apart from that, you're
using the 'mail' (PHPs mail function) as the backend mailer in your
PEAR script - try using smtp instead and pass the SMTP config data you
normally use. Have a look at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php - the smtp
part.

You might, depending on if you need to use the Mail_Mime or Mail_Queue
packages also (for sending emails with attachments etc etc or for
sending mails in bulk).
 Also there's some rather nice new functionality in the more recent
versions of Mail and Net_SMTP that enable you to log the ESMTP Id of
mails you have submitted to a mail server (along with the SMTP
greeting sent by that server when you connect to it).

When some bug is fixed or dependencies of some of those PEAR packages
change I think you'll find your attitude towards that will change -
there's a pear installer so you don't have to update and track the
dependencies by hand - you do regularly update your packages don't
you? It's smart to do so because at the very least you don't have to
implement work-arounds for bugs that have been fixed in later versions
of those packages - and in the worst-case scenario it means you're not
using versions that have PEAR Security Advisories issued against them.

I believe it's possible to have seperate pear config files per project
so you're not limited to having to use the same versions of packages
across all projects.

If you're using more than a handful of PEAR packages in your project
you might want to write your own meta-package for the project; that
way you don't have to install all those packages individually;
you just do something like "$pear install myProject.xml" and the pear
installer will download and install whichever pear packages you have
described in your xml file.

Details on doing this are at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.users.dependencytracking.php

For the record, this is the example script that I submitted to
http://www.web-development-blog.com/archives/php-mail-scripts-using-smtp-transport-a-guide-for-beginners/
for demonstrating how to use the PEAR packages for sending a mail with
a file attached.:

“;
$to = “Barney Rubble “;
$subject = “Mail Subject”;
$message = “this is the text of the mail, sent using PEAR’s Mail packages.”;
$host = “smtp.example.com”;
$port = “25″;
$headers = array (‘From’ => $from, ‘To’ => $to, ‘Subject’ => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory(’smtp’, array (‘host’ => $host, ‘port’ => $port));
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime->setTxtBody($message);
$mime->addAttachment(“/home/ken/logo.png”, ‘image/png’);
$body = $mime->get();
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $mime->headers($headers), $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo($mail->getMessage() . “!\n”);
} else {
echo(“Message successfully sent to $to!\n”);
echo “Queued As (ESMTP Id): “, $smtp->queued_as, “\n”;
echo “Greeting From Mailserver: “, $smtp->greeting, “\n”;
}

?>

Alice, I never use the PEAR install from my distro, I always download
and install PEAR into my working folder. The benefit of doing it this
way is so that when you move your project to a different server, nothing
will break and you don't have to change anything.

Sometimes when I create a new project, I'll just copy the PEAR folder
from an older project to the new one. The only thing you may have to
change in your PHP code is the path to the PEAR libs only if you don't
put them in the same place every time.

Blessings,
David M.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Using PEAR Issues

Most, if not all, mail servers keep log files. You should look for the
log files to see if the mail server has sent your mail properly or is
experiencing problems (those may not feed back into PHP).

longer gives me the error that the class is not found. Yet, when I 
submit the form now, I can always see the confirmation message telling 
me that my message has been sent, but I cannot see it even in another 
mailbox.


Here is the code:

require_once("Mail.php");
$mail = Mail::factory("mail");

$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];

Hi,

Well, it's a Good Thing(tm) to know what those settings are.
Have they changed since your last thread?

Is there any need for this line if you are using the Errors-to:  ?
Maybe take it out and see what Errors-to gives you without it.

That looks to do what you need. I don't really know of any specific
other examples as it's been a while since I've used Windows for anything
now. The link you gave did say it was free though, so you don't really
have anything to lose by installing it.

This is what I am talking about. 
Two years ago when I first set up my own server with Linux and not Windows, I 
never had to deal with this. 
Perhaps the authentication has since then got stricter, but it should not be so 
much of a heck of a deal. 

I found this doc from ATT's website, 
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the 
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date. 

I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is there. 
Thanks.

Windows doesn't have this as part of the base setup, but I believe if you can

Something like http://www.hmailserver.com/? I use AT&T, why is it that I use

Linux installations come with sendmail which allows you to send email
directly. Windows doesn't have this as part of the base setup, but I
believe if you can install a local mail server then this should fix the
issue.

Hey Alice,
Try throwing the MIME in. Sometimes messages get thrown in an abyss  
if they don't know the MIME version or content type of an email.
They think its spam and so you wouldn't get an error message on your  
end. Just no email.


$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";

Mail.php contains the class Mail. So getting a "class not found" error
is not possible... (require_once stops the script in case it can't
find Mail.php)
Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my  
web folder

ensure that C:/xampp/php/PEAR folder is added to your include list


I thought so too, this is what I have in my php.ini:

; PHP's default setting for include_path is ".;/path/to/php/pear"
; http://php.net/include-path
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR"

This is the contents of my C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Mail:
mail.php
mime.php
mimeDecode.php
mimePart.php
null.php
RFC822.php
sendmail.php
smtp.php

Unless, I have to do require_once("mail.php")?
I am getting confused.

I thought so too, this is what I have in my php.ini:

; PHP's default setting for include_path is ".;/path/to/php/pear"
; http://php.net/include-path
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR"

This is the contents of my C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Mail:
mail.php
mime.php
mimeDecode.php
mimePart.php
null.php
RFC822.php
sendmail.php
smtp.php

Unless, I have to do require_once("mail.php")?
I am getting confused.

I tried installing the Pear Mail package, it is now located in php/PEAR/Mail, 
and my code is located in the htdocs. Here is the code:

require_once("Mail.php");
$mail = Mail::factory("mail");

$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

if($_POST['submit']=="Submit") {
$from = "elite.engl...@att.net";
$to =  $email;
$subject = "Comments Regarding HH Web Design Studio";
$body = "From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n 
Comments:\n $comments";

$host = "smtp.att.yahoo.com";
$username = "my_user_name";
$password = "password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$mail->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo "" . $mail->getMessage() . "";

This is what I get: 

Fatal error:  Class 'Mail' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\Alice.Wei\web\mail.php
 on line 30

Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my web folder? How 
can I make sure that my Pear is running?
Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Problem

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Hi Alice,
I have a sendmail script I wrote on my way to learning PHP.
Uses PHP 4 i believe, maybe 5. Wrote it a while ago.
You and anyone else are welcome to use it/modify.

You can reference this php it from multiple forms.
Just specify the form names it should accept and their parameters.
It can also send HTML results with a little modification.

It isn't necessarily set up for mass emailing, but with a little  
tweaking, I am sure you could get it to work.
You can separate the emails with comas "," currently and it will send  
to all of them, but if they are in the TO:,

everyone will see everyones email address.
Might set it up to send to your email in the TO: and use the BCC: to  
send to your users.

If you do convert it, mind sharing back?? :))

HTH,

PEAR's mail package does support authentication.
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm

In case you get a "Sent Successfully" message (but didn't get a mail
in your inbox or spam folder) there is a problem with your SMTP server
configuration. And

There's no need to edit anything in php.ini, and, since it is pure PHP,
it should work on Windows too, though I didn't try it. It works well on
Linux. Here's the class we used to send mail through Zend_Mail:

setFrom($config_general->getSiteMailAddress(),
$config_general->getSiteMailName());
$mail->addTo($to_mail, $to_name);
$mail->setSubject($subject);
$mail->setBodyText($body, "UTF-8");
$smtp_host =   $config_general->getMailSendHost();
$smtp_authentication = $config_general->getMailSendAuthentication
();
$smtp_user =   $config_general->getMailSendUsername();
$smtp_password =   $config_general->getMailSendPassword();
$smtp_security =   $config_general->getMailSendSecurity();
$smtp_port =   $config_general->getMailSendPort();
if ($smtp_host != "") {
  if ($smtp_authentication != "None") {
$config = array ('auth' => $smtp_authentication, 'username' =>
$smtp_user, 'password' => $smtp_password);
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }
  if ($smtp_security != "NONE") {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('ssl' =>
$smtp_security));
  }
  if ($smtp_port != "") {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('port' => $smtp_port));
  }
  if (isset ($config)) {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host, $config);
  } else {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }
  $mail->send($mta);
} else {
  // If no smtp host is given, it uses the default sendmail mail
transport agent.
  $mail->send(); 
}
  }
}

?>

Hope it works,

Teus.

This is what I am talking about. 
Two years ago when I first set up my own server with Linux and not Windows, I 
never had to deal with this. 
Perhaps the authentication has since then got stricter, but it should not be so 
much of a heck of a deal. 

I found this doc from ATT's website, 
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the 
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date. 

I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is there. 
Thanks.

Well, "therein lies the rub," as the Bard said (maybe).
PHP's mail() was built on a general assumption that
there would be a local SMTP server.  It supports remote
SMTP, but I'm not aware of any ability to do SMTP auth,
even in the PEAR packages.

You might just wanna read up on mail in general.  The
php.net/mail page lists several relevant RFC's, and
has links to most of the PEAR mail classes, etc.

You should definitely read up on live.com's email
configuration.  If they use SMTP auth, I'm not sure
you can do this (per above).  If it uses, say, "POP
before SMTP" for authorization, you might be able to
hack something together with the PHP IMAP functions, or
even sockets, but you're getting into a big lotta work
for what seems a small thing.

it looks like I still get Sending Mail failed. Which function should I use to

Along these lines: there's a chance that sending a mail from yourself,
to yourself, through PHP like this, will cause mail servers to think
it's spam. For testing email sending, normal scenarios are better

Gmail's SMTP servers got put on a black list at some point.
There's seemingly hundreds of blacklists and whilst some play nice, 
others are very paranoid.
Usually the good email servers will detect your on a blacklist then rate 
limit the number of emails it'll accept from you. If you keep pissing it 
off, by sending emails to non-existant addresses (something they REALLY 
hate), sending emails that are too big, or simply sending too many 
emails or emails with too many recipients, then it'll tighten the 
restrictions. Over time if your good then those restrictions will be 
released and eventually you'll be able to send at normal rates.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function In PHP

[james . stojan]

Any volume of mail sent direct to mx records is a red flag for anti spammers 
and without an smtp spf dkim and rdns you are wasting your time. The logic is 
that only people sending spam would be sending direct to mx like that. Fair or 
not that is just how life works. Oh and most mail servers do check rdns spf 
etc. 

It is kind of pointless to send emails if they end up in the spam folder or 
worse don't get delivered at all. Do it right the first time use an smtp rdns 
and spf at the very least.

Contrary to popular belief, to send an email you do not need to have
your own SMTP server. All you need to know is the SMTP server
responsible for your recipients email.

This information is held as part of the domain registration details
and is known as the MX records (as I understand it).

PHP has a function called getmxrr() [1]. This allows you to supply a
domain name and get back the list of MX records suitable for handling
the SMTP mail.

This function wasn't available on Windows until recently, and I
created a userland version utilising Windows nslookup.exe program [2].

So, once you've got the list of SMTP servers for the domain you are
sending email to, you can use the ini_set('SMTP', 'xx'); function
to set the server to handle the mail() call you are about to make.

Upside : No local SMTP server - you are not responsible for
maintaining/administering/etc. any aspect of the SMTP process.
Upside : If the mail() call fails, you can try the other MX records (I
tend to sort the results based upon weight and try them in sequence).
If it fails all of them, you know straight away and can deal with it.
Upside : No relaying. No permission issues to worry about. You are
simply talking to the public SMTP servers just like any other SMTP
server or sender.

Downside : No queuing. Without a_LOCAL_ SMTP server, you can only
deal with sending email in real time.
Downside : One domain at a time. You cannot send email to
a...@domain1.com, b...@domain2.com_and_ c...@domain3.com in the 1 email.

None of these steps affect the use of mail() or a mail sending class
(phpmailer, RMail, html_mime_mail5, etc.).

Richard.

that the server will drop the mail if your script sending server is not

Re: [PHP] Mail Function In PHP

[Marc Trudel]

If you control your DNS server setup and such, DKIM and authentication
technologies alikes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys) are the way to
go.

Also, make sure the reverse DNS lookup is pointing to the right place, i.e.
that the SMTP server domain name translates to an IP that translates back to
the same domain name when you do a reverse lookup.

Since this is really something more of a network arch. setup, you probably
will find more answers for that on ServerFault or the likes.

While the above is true, there is also another thing that comes into
play. We used to send email directly to the receiver the way described
above. But at times it happens that the receiving smtp server refuses to
accept mail from the sender since the sender is not known to be a good
smtp server, and at times it could get blacklisted. Rules like this get
tightened up because of the desire to curb spam at the source.

Contrary to popular belief, to send an email you do not need to have

to set the server to handle the mail() call you are about to make.

Upside : No local SMTP server - you are not responsible for

Hello,

Read the manual page for the mail() function ...

http://www.php.net/mail

Mail() requires an operating SMTP server.  This can be set
in php.ini, and possibly via the ini_set() function.  These
might be worth looking into:

$config1=ini_set(sendmail_path,"/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i");
$config2=ini_set(SMTP,"localhost");
$config3=ini_set(smtp_port,25);

If you absolutely can't run an SMTP server or use a
remote server, you'd probably have to hack something
together with sockets or streams.

My $0.02,

Kevin Kinsey

RE: [PHP] Mail function and hotmail

I decided to change the call to send to:

$mail =& Mail::factory("smtp", array("host" => "localhost"));
return $mail->send($params["email"], $headers, $body);

and now hotmail wokrs.  Maybe qmail changes something when the mail() function 
is used.

Thank you for all your help.

RE: [PHP] Mail function and hotmail

Hello, Thank you all for your cooperation yesterday.  I tried PEAR Mail_mime as 
follows:

function SendEmail($template, $params){
// Read and open the template file and the image file
$htmlFile = fopen("./templates/$template.html", "r");
$txtFile = fopen("./templates/$template.txt", "r");
$htmlMsg = fread($htmlFile, filesize("./templates/$template.html"));
$textMsg = fread($txtFile, filesize("./templates/$template.txt"));

// Replace the template values
foreach($params as $key => $value){
// Template values will always start with two hash marks ##
if(substr($key, 0, 2) == "##"){
$htmlMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $htmlMsg);
$textMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $textMsg);
}
}

// Create the appropiate headers
$headers = array(
"From" => "n...@domain.ca",
"Reply-To" => "n...@domain.ca",
"Subject" => $params["subject"],
"Organization" => "Name"
);

// Create the mime object
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime->setTxtBody($textMsg);
$mime->setHTMLBody($htmlMsg);
$mime->addHTMLImage("templates/emaillogo.jpg", "image/jpg", 
"templates/emaillogo.jpg");

// Set the variables for the Mail object to send the message
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);

$mail =& Mail::factory("mail");
return $mail->send($params["email"], $headers, $body);
}


However, hotmail is still getting blank emails when I sent them from my 
production machine (CentOS 5.3), however, when I send the message from my 
development machine (Visata Ultimate SP1) it does work correctly on hotmail 
address .  Both machines are running php 5.2 and have the same PEAR packages.  
I tried Gmail, Yahoo mail and Thunderbird and they work fine.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Fernando.

Thank you.  I'm looking at PEAR Mail_mime right now.  It seems promising.

Fernando,

I recommend you check out the various PHP frameworks out there. Instead 
of randomly searching for classes for common functionality like sending 
an email from your script, you could use the framework's classes. I am 
sure all of the frameworks provide classes to send emails.  The next 
time you need a  class to read email from your scripts, you can simply 
look for classes your framework of choice provides.


I personally use Zend Framework. But there are many available - Cake, 
CI, Symphony, etc.


Also take a look at PEAR like Bastien said.

As far as I'm aware, Hotmail blocks all images by default. Also, I've
seen Outlook choke on message with the \r\n line endings, could Hotmail
be doing that too?

That's limited by three things:

2.) Server configuration.
3.) Your ISP (some, such as GoDaddy, have a cap each month).

mail() works fine.

phpmailer (and zendmailer, swiftmailer and other such packages) help you 
with things like:


- sending through an smtp server
- putting a multipart email together
- adding attachments
- embedding images in your email content

and a whole bunch of other stuff so you don't have to write the code to 
do all of that.


There's nothing fancy in any of them, and if you don't tell them to send 
through an smtp server, they use the normal mail() command (in most 
cases I think anyway).

hiChris,

i've read several forums where this mail() function from PHP initial package
is not so great.
Therefore a lot of people use PHPMailer which is more convenient for that
purpose...especially more flexible.

thanks a lot for your help.

ok i will try... what about UTF-8 to ensure unicode ?
my website and especially the form which will send this email, will be

german,,...
so isn't it easier to set up utf-8 ?

you can add these headers:

$header = "From: $fromname<$email>\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: $email\n";
$header .= "Return-Path: <$email>\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n";

You have the From: header parameters reversed.  Try this:

\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\r\n";

Correct on the yahoo.  I would tend to doubt that allow open relaying as

Please include the list when replying. And please don't top-post, it

(I should told you that before, sorry!!) and then I started to look  
at php web site and I found:


sendmail_path string
Where the sendmail program can be found, usually /usr/sbin/sendmail  
or /usr/lib/sendmail. configure does an honest attempt of locating  
this one for you and set a default, but if it fails, you can set it  
here.


Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the sendmail  
wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any. For example, »  
Qmail users can normally set it to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail or/var/ 
qmail/bin/qmail-inject.


qmail-inject does not require any option to process mail correctly.

This directive works also under Windows. If set, smtp, smtp_port and  
sendmail_from are ignored and the specified command is executed.


My mistake, the comments in the INI file really should be changed to  
reflect that.


Given that your problem is that you haven't uncommented that line as  
Shawn said. Remove the ; from the start of that line, restart your we  
server and if the manual isn't lying it should work.


Incidentally, it probably didn't like the Yahoo settings you used  
because that port is for SMTP over SSL which PHP doesn't support.

Uh, yeah...  Then I thought, why not just use the  SMTP and smtp_port
settings.

I'm using Windows XP prof. and WAMP5 -server

3) I edited  PHP.INI file

[mail function]

I don't mean to be rude, but what part of "For Unix only" confused you?

You need to point the "For Win32 only" settings at a mail server on  
Windows. The error message pretty clearly states that it's trying to  
connect to the server specified in those settings.

Check to see if you can send mail out of your server aside from the php 
script. Also, check the logs: error_log, maillog, messages  to see what's 
wrong with the script or the mail function. I'm not sure if these logs exist 
on IIS or where they are.

Sendmail has a usenet newsgroup (comp.mail.sendmail), where you might

figured it out...

the domain in question's dns is set to CNAME to the main domain on that

Re: [PHP] mail function from and reply to address problem

[Tanner Postert]

mail function returns 1(true) whether or not i'm sending to the new virtual
host domain name or any random domain name.

turns out sendmail function does the same thing, so it looks like it's a
sendmail problem... but how is that possible if i've never configured
anything for this new domain except for http virtual host config? hmm.

apache is definitely listed in the trusted users, as I mentioned, I can send

Which is mentioned in the documentation:

;)

Sendmail and exim definitely have this sort of problem, I don't think
postfix or qmail do though.

You really ought to be getting the return value from mail() and
checking it for success...

Error-checking is good. :-)


i have about 10 or so different virtual hosts running on this machine,

if i use any of them for the from & reply-to addresses, it works fine,

anyone have any ideas?

As I understand it:

If the PHP (read: Apache) User is not "trusted" in sendmail config,
then sendmail won't let that user forge the return headers, and the
return comes from the default set in sendmail configuration.

Substitute postfix or whatever as appropriate for your configuration.

So you now have the joy of digging into sendmail configuration.

Good luck!

RE: [PHP] mail function from and reply to address problem

[Steve Perkins]

Sounds more like the mail server than PHP. Although weird anyway ! What mail
server are you using : local/remote, smtp/sendmail/qmail ? 

Try using whatever method and send a mail through this server from outside
of PHP with the same problem parameters ? Does that work ? It should either
eliminate PHP, or point the finger ! I suspect eliminate but you never
know..

That's where I think I'd start anyway. Send uz an update when you have some
answers.

I am currently running

PHP 5.1.4
Fedora Core 5

i'm trying to exectute the following test script.



i have about 10 or so different virtual hosts running on this machine, and
if i use any of them for the from & reply-to addresses, it works fine, or
even if i use domains I don't control like aol.com or example.com those work
too, but one particular new virtual host doesn't work, it re-writes the from
address to the default virtual host address. which is strange because that
isn't in the php.ini anywhere, but it could just be taking the hostname.

anyone have any ideas?

thanks in advance.

Tanner
