You will probably have a very unhappy SysAdmin behind that SMTP server, and odds are really really really good they'll have a long line of VERY unhappy SysAdmins behind them. You can pretty much count on being labeled (hopefully mis-labeled) as a spammer almost immediately. 2 meg attachments are your first biggest problem. Lose them. Include a link to whatever it is for the user to download the 2 meg at their leisure. This is non-negotiable. You WILL regret the 2 meg attachment long before the 24,000th user gets it. Queue up the emails and send them out over a controlled time. If there's ANY question that somebody might not want this email, don't send it.

Peppy wrote: AJ, So what your reply means is that I should not have a new line character in any variable on my page??? Of course you can have newlines in your email message, just make sure that any user input is received through POST, and that you run a regular expression to validate that only one email has been specified in the recipient field (whatever you call that on your form I don't know) to ensure that it is only sent to one person. Other than that you ought to be pretty secure. Make sure that the user cannot enter any type of header information in the beginning of their message, so, for instance you could do what you did: $usermailmsg = This is the information you submitted.\n // ... It will ensure that other text appears before the user submitted data. Hope that helps.

[PHP] mail function-new line-security
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: $phone\n ... Please feel free to write us with any comments or suggestions so that we may better serve you.\n mailto:$my_email\n\n;; mail($user_mail, $subject, $usermailmsg, $headers); Thanks in advance for any help.

[PHP] [Mail]mb_encode_mimeheader
Hi !
I need some help for mail's encoding structure.
I use this code for encoding french character like 'é' or 'è':
mb_language('uni');
mb_internal_encoding(mb_detect_encoding($this-subject));
$res = mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
mb_encode_mimeheader($this-subject), $this-msgTxt.$this-msgHTML,
$this-entete, '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
It is working fine unless if my first word is not containing one of
those multi-bites characters!
For example :
Subject : êtes vous francais ou étranger ? = It is well encode and all
is fine on differents mail software and webmail
Subject : Bonjour, êtes vous francais ? = It is encode at the
beginnning of the second word. So it is not well written on some softwre
like Incredimail for example.
Does someone know where i am wrong ?
Thanks a lot for your help

Re: [PHP] mail()
Did you install sendmail? http://www.php.net/mail Requirements For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/ usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.

The reason for this is that client-side validation can be fooled, but server-side validation requires a round-trip to the server. If you validate on the client-side you will save your users time as errors will be detected without a trip to the server, but you still need to validate on the server-side to ensure that they haven't bypassed the client-side validation in any way.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function
On Tue, July 19, 2005 4:31 pm, Cabbar Duzayak said: I have a web site that is going to have around total of 10-20 thousand unique users, about 1000 unique hits per day on shared hosting. I have been using PHP's internal mail mechanism with the local smtp server on my hosting company, but it is more like a hit-and-miss kind of thing. And, there are users complaining that they are not getting any e-mail. I think there are several things to look at here... First and foremost: When you say PHP's internal mail mechanism with the local smtp server I'm not sure what you mean. If you use http://php.net/mail then you are invoking the sendmail (or qmail or postfix or whatever) program on *EACH* and *EVERY* email you attempt to send out. sendmail (or qmail or postfix or whatever) are *NOT* small programs. If you are sending out a *LOT* of email, this is going to fail miserably, because you are simply trying to run TOO MANY processes on the box. In theory, PHP would return FALSE when it failed, and you could just keep calling mail() with the same args until it worked but this is incredibly inefficient. You should probably investigate using the Mail class at http://phpclasses.org or something similar that will let you open *ONE* SMTP connection and then you can churn out email after email through that one connection. *MUCH* more efficient than firing up sendmail (or equivalent) for every piece of eamil to go out. The other thing to investigate is the users' spam filtering. Odds are pretty good your PHP email is getting tagged as spam by somebody somewhere. You can improve your odds by: Making it come From: a person with First Last [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of just [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use From, Reply-to and Return-Path headers, all the same. Don't send attachments or HTML enhanced (cough, cough) email. Can you guys please provide advise as to what the problem might be? I don't think it is the local SMTP, because the way SMTP is configured is pretty solid, and once you submit internally (not via port 25), it should retry till it delivers it. So, I am thinking it might be because of headers or something else. If it's what I outlined initially above, you're not even getting as far as submitting it internally. The OS isn't letting PHP run 2,000 copies of sendmail at once, and it shouldn't. So, should I use a more sophisticated mail library? Can you recommend any? You'll have to understand what's going wrong now, no matter what mail library you choose, or you won't know what options to set to configure that more sophisticated email package. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] mail:: very weird behaviour!
Hi all So I constructed the mail message with attachements and all, and when I echo the contents to the screen, I get the entire message as intended. But when the message is actually sent, it is NOT received the same! In one test, the base64 part contains different text from what I actually put in. However, if I put that same data inside the body (so I can compare), that data is transfered correctly. In another test, the behaviour explained above, is extended by some other text dissapearing (namely some boundary) The error log doesn't say a-thing! my mail command is: mail($toname $to,$subject,$body,$header); If I do echo $headerbr$body; right before the mail command, and copy and paste that into kmail, it is a valid email message with all the parts I made. So where does it go wrong... please speake quickly before I have no more hair!

The PHP Version is 4.3.10, the OS Linux So what I do is ( $header=header for multipart mime message; $body=body with multipart mime message; $result=mail(Name Firstname $address,Subject,$message,$header); Not that it's relevant (almost for sure), but in this example, you use $message where you probably want $body... echo ($result?ok:bogus); So anyone got any ideas? You'd have to read the PHP source code to be certain, but let's assume that PHP just uses whatever your sendmail setting in php.ini returns. It's possible, though very unlikely, that you've done something silly there like: sendmail = /usr/bin/sendmail -t ; return -1; What's more likely is that something in the command line of sendmail is returning some kind of warning, but it's still managing to send the message. If you can, su to the PHP user (see User directive in httpd.conf) and then run some test sendmail commands from the shell. Odds are really good you'll get a more detailed feedback than PHP's simplistic true/false return value. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Your best bet would be to use PHP to QUEUE the emails up, and let your mail sending software (sendmail, qmail, elvenmail) worry about load and timing. You may also want to consider having the web-based application simply set a flag/indicator somewhere which tells PHP that it's time to queue up all 100 emails. Then the end user won't even have to wait for 100 emails to get queued up in line. They only have to wait for the flag to get set which should take, like, less than one second.

On Mon, May 9, 2005 4:02 pm, Mary-Anne Nayler said: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in the path to my script on line line number That means PHP has no mail() function to even call, which is MUCH earlier in the process than sendmail location. Most likely, your webhost has decided that to stop spammers and runaway mail abuse, he'd just rip out the mail() function from PHP. You may be able to bypass this by using one of the mail classes at http://phpclasses.org to talk directly to an SMTP server not under that webhost control.

It probably means your email server is not setup for open relaying (aka spam server). Mail servers should require a login in order to send email through them. The mail() function itself doesn't support names and passwords, but other php functions do. You might want to look into phpmailer to handle you email needs. Alternatively, you could setup your email server to allow open relaying from the localhost. But that's not really recommended even if you know exactly what you are doing with the mail server configuration.

[PHP] Mail problem with PEAR

My problem is that when i want to send an email with for example 4 recipients and 1 attached file, the mail is send 4 times to the SMTP server. Is it possible to use PEAR mail function to send it 1 time to SMTP server and after that SMTP server send it to the 4 recipients ? thx for your help. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

There really is *NOT* a solution for this, unless you send the recipient a unique token, and get them to click on a link that tells you they saw it.

I want to know if it's possible m to send a email in php and to get back an acknowledgement of m delivery. My problem is that i want to know if my emails are m delivered successfully to recipients. About the only way to do that is to add a Return-Path header to the e-mail so if it bounces the Return-Path address gets the bounce message. There is no way to do it more or less real-time because some SMTP servers will try to send the message to the recipient for sometimes five days before generating a bounce. -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).

Re: [PHP] Mail with acknowledgement of delivery
The mail() function allows you to specify additional headers that go into the mail. Delivery acknowledgement is done using specific headers, the exact format of which I don't know off hand. You will have to find the exact formatting information yourself, however this is the way to go. Markus On Wednesday 30 March 2005 17:31, marc serra wrote: Hi, I got a problem with mail function.

Re: [PHP] mail()
Hello Sebastian, It'd very useful for those who want to help you out, a good explanation of your error. For example, you're not quoting some error or some error logs that you found related to this behavior. For instance, if you refer to: http://uk.php.net/mail You'll see there's a note explaining that in order to use mail(), PHP must have access to the sendmail binary _during installation_. May be, during some upgrade, this did not work (it has happened to me several times) In the other hand, if the mail() seems to work, but the mail is not getting delivered successfully, there're some other things to check.

[PHP] mail, CRLF, RFCs, MTAs, Windows and Unix [long]
I dont know if it's the right place to post, but anyway... (Sorry for the cross-post.) I think the doc for the mail function [1] should be improved, after reading bug 15841 [2], mail.c [3], skim some RFCs, and after I had different problems with PHP mail() Basicaly, the doc says to use - \n in body - \r\n in extra headers As far as I understand the matter: - SMTP requires \r\n : cfr RFCs (ex 822, 2822) - Under windows, PHP mail directly uses socket and SMTP - Under *nix, PHP mail uses \n to send subject, to, etc [3] to the sendmail/postfix/qmail binary (ok, *nix eol is \n), then the MTA uses translate this to SMTP with \r\n (adding \r to standalone \n if needed) -- ok, RFC want \r\n Which basicaly means - Under windows (SMTP, so \r\n) use \r\n for body (doc says \n) : doc KO use \r\n for mail headers (doc says \r\n) : doc ok - Under *nix (local sendmail and eol, so \n, not SMTP) use \n for body (doc says \n) : doc ok use \n for mail headers (doc says \r\n) : doc KO So, the doc is sometimes correct, sometimes not, and it leads to problems (portability, ignored headers, etc). I think correct behaviour is - windows (direct SMTP): use \r\n for headers and body - *nix (local eol, then SMTP): use \n for headers and body At least, it seems Postfix works that way, perhaps Qmail too (I dont know for other MTAs) My question is twofold (three?) 1. Am I right about that 'correct behaviour' or do I miss something? 2. If I am, could the doc be improved and explain that? Ex doc says Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF but \n is unix end of line, PHP src code use \n itself [3], and MTA must speak SMTP and use \r\n, so conversion seems required. -- I guess 3 is not a very good idea 3. use \n everywhere, php will automagically s#\n#\r\n# on windows only. this would add portability between *nix and windows Christophe PS Below is an example of problem I had. If I follow current mail() doc on my Linux server, ie using \n for body (ok) and \r\n for headers (ko), something like this will fail: $headers = From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $body = Hello\nWorld; Postfix (which uses \n for local *nix delivery [4]) generates headers with \n for standard headers and \r\n for extra headers, which break RFCs and cause many mail clients to see part of the headers as part of the body (really ugly): To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: foo bar\n From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: efg\r\n Which some mail clients (thunderbird and others) see as To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: foo bar\r\n From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]-- headers break here Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: efg\r\r\n [1] PHP manual : mail() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php [2] PHP Bug 15841 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15841 [3] PHP src : mail.c http://cvs.php.net/php-src/ext/standard/mail.c [4] Subject: Re: CRLF vs. LF (From: Wietse Venema) http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2000-02/0398.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Message bounces contain explanations of the message delivery problems, so you need to fix the bounce address so you can see what is the problem of the bounces. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Is mail() returning an error? If so, what is it? Have you had the same PHP code working in a different environment?

[PHP] mail() w/ postfix problem in Fedora Core 3
I've been searching for the solution to this problem to no avail. I recently did a clean install of FC3 on a server that was running RH8. There were a number of PHP scripts that I had configured to send out email for notices or passwords or the like. However, now that I've upgraded I can't send mail through the mail() command in PHP. My problem is exactly like what I found here, but unfortunately that question was left unanswerd: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-December/msg06708.html To summarize, I have no problem sending email via SMTP (one of the apps I run has the option to choose between using PHP mail() or using it's own SMTP client). Whenever I try to send mail with mail(), apache logs the following error: sendmail: fatal: chdir /var/spool/postfix: Permission denied Postfix logs nothing. I have checked the permissions on the /var/spool/postfix directory, and they seem to be in order: drwxr-xr-x 16 root root4096 Nov 23 05:11 postfix php.ini is configured with: sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail is a link to /etc/alternatives/mta which is a link to /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix. All of these are world readable and executable. This setting is not overriden anywhere else (tested with phpinfo()). Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it? If not, is there a drop-in replacement for the sendmail command that will just forward the request to postfix via SMTP?

As always, the way to debug this is to sudo to the web server user id and issue the /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i command on a mail message and figure out why it isn't working.

It turns out that it was a 'problem' with Fedora Core 3. By default it uses SELinux to secure the httpd binary against executing other stuff it's not supposed to, including the postfix sendmail-compatible interface. FC's documentation on SELinux can be found here: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/ Thanks for your help and suggestions on this admittedly non-obvious problem.

If you are using sendmail or exim try mailq from the root account to see if the message is in thq queue. If the message is not in the queue, it bounced to the return path address. You can set the return path address using the mail function 5th argument. You may also want to take a look at this class that lets you specify the return path address just setting the return-path: header.
