[PHP] Re: mail function
I don't know exactly if this problem belongs to this news forum. This is more or less a SMTP question. The email servers names are kept into the mail MIME headers even if the message only passed through them and was then forwarded the servers names and IP's. This is done for anti-spam mesures, relay purposes, bouncing and other SMTP good reasons. There are 3 ways to avoid this as far as I know: 1. To use internal networks relay servers with fake unroutable IP's like 127.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x. However the IP address of the gateway is visible and this will work only in case of big networks. 2. To use so many email redirect servers that the MIME message beeing too long will start cutting the origins. 3. To connect to the relay server using a masquerading anonymous public server with squid or other proxy software running on it. However this is not legal and I will advise to not use these methods. You may be considered a SPAM sender and be sued for these kind of actions.

[PHP] Re: mail function-new line-security
I think you're thinking of spam injection through register_globals. If so, yes it is vulnerable. You need to force the variable data to come from the $_POST variable: [code] $name = $_POST['name']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $user_mail = $_POST['user_mail']; $my_email = $_POST['my_email']; $usermailmsg = This is the information you submitted.\n If this is not correct, please contact us at mailto:$my_email.\n\n Name: $name\n Phone: $phone\n ...

Brown Peppy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have been working on making my contact forms more secure. In my research, the occurence of the new line character \n at the end of the $headers variable in the mail function seems to be a security risk and opens one up to injection of spam email. This part I understand. I have been unable to find out this same information about the message variable. If I have a variable defining the message like this, can I use the new line character or am I opening myself up to more spam injection. $usermailmsg = This is the information you submitted.\n If this is not correct, please contact us at mailto:$my_email.\n\n Name: $name\n Phone: $phone\n ...

As qmail docu' says y should copy or symlink this sendmail to the /bin/sendmail or /usr/bin/sendmail on u'r system. Make sure u first backup u'r original sendmail.

What you need to do is set your SMTP server inside the php.ini file...

sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well ; (default

Brad, you're missing a buch of headers probably causing your email to be
dropped somewhere regarded spam (especially Hotmail is quite picky about the
headers).
Try and send these headers (fourth argument in mail() function.
$headers = MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n;
$headers .= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n;
$headers .= X-Priority: 3\r\n;
$headers .= X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n;
$headers .= X-Mailer: PHP/.phpversion().\r\n;//I use this, I'm not
sure if you really need this header
$headers .= From: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$headers .= Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$headers .= Return-path: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$headers .= Error-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
if (mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body,$headers)) {

We are using a web-based application that sends email notifications through our internal Exchange servers. Now, they can be set up with SMTP turned off, or so that only certain other hosts can relay through them (send mail), and that might be what he's talking about when he says the authenticated list. I believe it's simply a list of hosts that are allowed to relay through the Exchange SMTP server. You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server. It will relay the mail to the appropriate mailbox server (assuming they've separate the functions).

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() function exchange
Hi, my company set their server up not to talk SMTP (disabled all -- that guy told me), and my tries to connect or talk to any of their Exchange servers failed :( so he must be true. Got onto their NT servers though ;) All the company uses Outlook Exchange, they use mapi to talk to each other. If a manager can`t be in the network, he`s connected via VPN uses Outlook as well. They`ve got a trust relationship between their NT servers the Exchange ones, lots of domains joined. As I said, I don`t have a clue of Exchange so correct me if something sounds strange. To your suggestions: of course that would be easy for me to tell them to set up a new box for me. They`ll do that. But who likes the easy way ;)? No, just my curiosity, maybe someone knows how the protocol or whatever these M$ servers use is working I could try to implement that. Would make my project more portable inside the company (They plan to use it on other sites as well), so they wouldn`t have problems with setting up separate Internal Mailsweepers everytime :). Can you tellme more about : You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server. It will relay the mail to the appropriate mailbox server is that working even if SMTP is not enabled? The guy told me that SMTP is not enabled by default on Exchange servers and they didn`t change that! (that`s the reason for me to ask how that system works in the wholehow does outlook send the mail to the exchange server? Could it be that all the users just access something like a directory on the exchange server when starting their outlook (not a local program! not working when the exchange server crashed ;)). Maybe that`s the LDAP part? Anyone enlighten me please.. by the way, a lot of people ask these questions see here http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/php3-list/199908/0344.php http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2000-07/954.html http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/13043/fid/21 I can't comment on how your company's Exchange servers are configured, but they absolutely *can* talk SMTP. We are using a web-based application that sends email notifications through our internal Exchange servers. Now, they can be set up with SMTP turned off, or so that only certain other hosts can relay through them (send mail), and that might be what he's talking about when he says the authenticated list. I believe it's simply a list of hosts that are allowed to relay through the Exchange SMTP server. You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server. It will relay the mail to the appropriate mailbox server (assuming they've separate the functions). Out of curiosity, why not give them the IP address and let them add the host to the authenticated sender list, as he offered? Or did I miss a part of the converation (very possible). __ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() function exchange
Hi, just today I stumbled into the same problem. It is true, I got this answer from an expert: Unfortunately this will not work. SMTP relaying is disabled on all the Exchange connector servers and a standard Exchange mailbox server does not support SMTP. The only way that you can send SMTP email from within our company is to use the Internal MailSweeper. And to allow this we need the IP Address of the box that will be sending the messages so that we can include it in the authenticated list. We have to have things set up this way for Security reasons. One other thing I should have mentioned. Outlook uses mapi to send on the Exchange servers. So we can use the mapisend command but I do not know if your application would support this. I think that this may also need a valid Outlook profile to work. I don`t understand that either, because I am trying to use my Linux server (inside my companys network) to deliver mails to the exchange server via sendmail.

Authentication was meant for security reasons. Anyway, you do no not need to relay in the company SMTP server unless outside access is blocked in some firewall. If you are using Linux, you just need to use the mail() function because it just uses sendmail by default. If you still have problems, just use the classes that I mentioned enabling direct delivery mode in the SMTP sending attributes. That does the same as sendmail but at least if it fails you can enable debugging to see what the SMTP protocol dialog reveals. --- Manuel Lemos [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: Hello, On 06/10/2003 04:44 PM, Matthias Wulkow wrote: a friend of mine is trying to set up an automated mailing function.

Not strictly true, the mail function will send to multiple email addresses
separated by a comma, you can also cc and bcc by using headers. See the

what has to be configured, and how, on a bsd server to allow the mail() function to work in php? using sendmail? php.ini Use the path to sendmail there, with the -t as suggested, and *YES* the quotes *ARE* supposed to be part of it: sendmail_path = /path/to/sendmail -t You may also need to ease up restrictions in sendmail.conf so that the PHP user is *allowed* to send out email, forge headers, and other fun things that are pretty essential to making mail() useful. You may also want to create a specific new user, different from the usual nobody, and use that for User in httpd.conf, so that PHP (all of Apache, really) runs as 'www' or 'httpd' instead of 'nobody' It will stop a few stupid people trying to abuse the lack of restriction on email sending...

This is not to say it's impossible to forge such things, and insert email via an open relay into the mail stream/system somewhere. Just that it's not something that should be a built-in function to PHP, or *ANY* legitimate mass-use software for that matter. I mean, that would be like inviting *EVERYBODY* to spam, uncontrollably, and would just be stupid.

Is it possible to use php's mail function to send an html formated email (one of your pages or a newsletter, whatever...)? If so, how? yes...

$mailheaders = From: \Do Not Reply\\r\nReply-To: Do Not Reply@Do Not Reply\n; If I use the above headers it says from Do Not [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone know how to make it just say Do Not Reply?

[PHP] Re: mail function
There are not a lot of guarantees. A big part of the problem is that you can't get instant feedback. Your mail server may queue the message and not even send it right away, or it could get sent, and your mail server doesn't find out for several minutes while the message goes out on the 'net and eventually bounces because the address is bad. There is probably a way you can get your mail server to inform you when a message fails to get delivered, but beyond that you probably can't do much.
