[PHP] Re: mail() + localhost

I read stuff about how the SMTP port should be accessible; should be open et al. My set-up is very simple: You cannot use the mail() function because it does not support authentication.

Hello, on 11/15/2009 05:22 PM Ashley Sheridan said the following: Hi all, I'm having a bit of difficulty seeing my way through this. I think I'm on the right path with mimeDecode, but I can't get it to read all of the emails in an mbox file which contains 100 emails; it only reads the first. I've looked over the docs on pear.php.net, but can't seem to find any way to get the other 99 emails out! Does anyone know of any way to do this, or have you done something similar another way? Just to clarify, I won't be connecting to an external mailbox for this, so it has to be something I can use on a local mbox file. The mbox format is not exactly compatible with the regular MIME message format. Anyway, you may use the MIME parser class which supports parsing single MIME messages as well multi-message messages in the mbox format. Just set the mbox class variable to 1. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimeparser -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: Mail subject encoding breaks
Hello, on 05/11/2009 12:25 PM Thodoris said the following: This script seems to work ok in a freebsd development server I have but a linux production machine breaks the subject's encoding for some unexpected reason. The subject has a mix of English and Greek characters that FreeBSD seems to handle like a charm. Both machines have the same php version (5.2.9) and the scripts encoding is UTF-8. Iconv and mbstring are configured the same way in php.ini (although I am not aware whether phpmailer uses iconv or mbstring). Has anyone had a similar experience? Is it possible that sendmail (which is the underlying tool) breaks the mail encoding? I am not sure what you mean by breaking the mail encoding. I use the MIME message class and it works perfectly with any encoding, even multibyte character sets. Take a look at the examples test_email_message and test_multibyte_message.php . http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage I am not sure what is happening exactly but I think that for some reason the subject of the e-mail includes more than one encoding while using linux. The English part is encoded in ISO-8859-1 and the Greek part into something that I can't detect (probably because thunderbird doesn't support all encodings). The body of the message is UTF-8 as expected. I didn't try the suggested solution since I have solved this, but the original question was about phpmailer. I will give it a try however because it seems like a better solution and more robust than mail_utf8. -- Thodoris

Probably too vague a question, sorry. Yeah it is fairly vauge. I guess one obvious way is to ask whether or not you send the same mail content to people but just do it 150 times? Or whether you customise the mail to each person putting in e.g. their name at the top etc. If the former then you can send the mails in batches of about 30-50 at a time using the BCC header rather than a direct To header (set the To address to e.g. yourself or a dummy address that works but is a bitbucket). That way there will be considerably less calls to mail() to process. The other way would be to write the mails to a database and process them later. You could write a special cronjob that runs every few minutes and pushes them out in the background. It could run every minute or two (with file locking to prevent more than one instance at a time) and either process all mails it can or just do about 50 of them and then quit and leave the rest for the next run. Obviously you have to manage it to make sure that it can physically catch up with how many mails are being generated but this isn't too hard. There are lots of other ways too - I've even seen some people program a MySQL UDF to send mail and let the database do the work, but I would have serious doubts about that approach for this use!!

Have a look at the Swift Mailer package:
http://www.swiftmailer.org/
I use it to send out well over 1000 mails at a time and it works quite
fine for me. Check out the anti-flood extension for sending large batches:
$swift = new Swift(new Swift_Connection_SMTP('localhost'), 'domain.org');
/* 100 mails per batch with a 30 second pause between batches
*/
$swift-attachPlugin(new Swift_Plugin_AntiFlood(100, 30), 'anti-flood');
/* list of recipients is an object wrapping an array
*/
$recipients = new Swift_RecipientList();
$recipients-addTo('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'foo bar');
/* headers
*/
$message = new Swift_Message('the subject');
$message-setCharset('utf-8');
$message-setReplyTo('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$message-setReturnPath('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$message-headers-set('Errors-To', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
/* multipart is a breeze
*/
$message-attach(new Swift_Message_Part($plain_content));
$message-attach(new Swift_Message_Part($html_content, 'text/html'));
/* if you're sending the mails from, eg. an admin page ...
*/
set_time_limit(0);
ignore_user_abort();
flush();
/* send it out
*/
$num_sent = $swift-batchSend($message, $recipients, new
Swift_Address('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'from'));
This really should be rolled into the PEAR project, IMO.

When you're sending a large amount of mail that sucks. Your best option is to switch to using a system that connects to the SMTP server on localhost directly. That way you can dump each message on to the local MTA quickly and then forget about it. As an example one of the newletters I maintain has over 300,000 subscribers and the system that sends the emails (written in PHP of course) takes less than 6 hours. The mail queue on that machine gets very big and then it's up to the MTA to work through sending the messages as quickly as it can (which usually takes about 28 hours). -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I suspect that the headers appear in the body. That may be due to wrong line break for your platform. You may want to try this using the MIME message composing and sending class, that lets you set the Return-Path header and can also detect the right line break sequence for your platform. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Headers encoding is independent of message body encoding set by Content-Type. Headers need to be encoded with q-encoding algorithm. You may want to take a look at this popular MIME message class. Just use the SetEncodedHeader function to add the Subject or another header that may use 8 bit (non-ASCII) data. The character set encoding of the message is set using the default_charset class variable. But you can use a different character set encoding for individual headers, using the 3rd parameter of the SetEncodedHeader function. Take a look at the test_email_message.php example script that shows how to send messages with non-ASCII characters in the Subject and body. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Mail que system written in PHP for Linux?
Hello, on 07/15/2006 01:07 AM eastcoastguyz said the following: I have a client who's web site needs to send out opt-in e-mail. I contacted the web hosting service who they intend to host this with and they have a limit of 500 e-mail messages sent per hour. I suspect most web hosting services have a limit on this, so I thought about how to address this. The e-mail being sent out would be personalized, and there could be other processes from this same web site sending out e-mail to a list too. So I thought about developing a mail que system written in PHP to help with this. If this already exists, please point me to it. If there is a better way to do this, I would be interested to hear it. Thanks! When you use the mail function in Linux, it uses sendmail or compatible. In Linux, all MTA are compatible with sendmail. Sendmail is already a queue system. There does not seem to be much point in duplicating a sendmail function that it already does better than PHP could. PHP will certainly will not override your ISP limits. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hello, on 04/08/2006 12:11 AM Webmaster said the following: I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask this on or not Here's the situation... my php scripts were generating emails as expected. I was shocked when they told me that exim was not responding to requests on port 25 and had to be restarted. So, PHP communicates with exim internally and doesn't have the need for ports as far as PHP generated emails go? Can anyone describe how this communication takes place between PHP and exim (or any mail server for that matter)?? Is this why exim would not send my emails via thunderbird but would send them via PHP??? You are a bit confused, but that is a normal confusion. You do not need an SMTP server to send messages. The role of the SMTP server is to receive messages, not to send them. What sends messages is an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent). Some SMTP servers are attached to MTA, so they can receive messages to be resent to their final recipients. PHP under Unix/Linux calls the sendmail program. Every Unix/Linux MTA emulates sendmail, including exim. The sendmail program just attempts to resend the message or queue it for later delivery attempt. Thunderbird and other mail clients could use sendmail to deliver messages if they were running on the same machine, but they do not support it. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[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.

Return-path: and Reply-To: are definately different headers.
Return-path is NOT a normal header, and cannot be set through the 4th
PHP argument.
It can be set by the 5th argument. This feature was added in 4.0.5 --
and if you're using something older than that, you should upgrade
anyway. :-)
http://php.com/manual/en/function.mail.php
You want a valid Return-path: to help avoid spam filters, and to get
back error messages from MTA/MUAs that don't trust From and Reply-to.
Course, it's only a matter of time before Return-path is not trusted,
and some genius will come up with YAH (yet another header) that we'll
all have to cope with. :-v

Otherwise, it is a problem in the mail() function. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- 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 -- 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

Hello, on 02/26/2005 09:25 PM Dustin Krysak said the following: Hi there, I have a script that uses the mail() function, but for some reason the script takes a really long time to finish processing (like 5 minutes). there are some other functions performed (like sql insert, etc) that happen immediately as they should. But the mail takes some time to finish processing. If I remove the mail function, the script finishes immediately. Any ideas? I have included my code below (used for the mail). ideas? Usually this means that the destination server is trying to resolve your machine host name from the IP address and it is not possible because the DNS misses the respective PTR records.

I realize that there are problems inheritly, but I think I am still trying to track down the problem. My latest theory is that PHP isn't set up to work with the right mailing program. I know that our system is supposed to be using qmail that actually sits on a different server, but I found interesting information in phpinfo that is making me wonder if a local sendmail is handling the requests instead. Here are the things I am finding in phpinfo: sendmail_from no value no value sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i SMTP localhost localhost smtp_port 25 25 Path to sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i Enviornment MAIL /var/mail/kpratt (what does this one do?) With all of the above refering to sendmail, is there anyway that my mail() can actually be using qmail? I don't think so. qmail is by default at /var/qmail. If you have installed qmail, you should have uninstalled sendmail first, otherwise it may cause system havoc (all sorts of problems). Anyway, qmail comes with a sendmail emulation wrapper in /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. The right thing to do is to uninstall sendmail and do something like: ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail Notice that it is /usr/lib/sendmail, which is the default sendmail program location since ever. Usually that location is a symbolic link to the real location of the sendmail (emulation) program. /usr/sbin/sendmail is the location of the real sendmail program (not the qmail emulation). -- 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

RE: [PHP] Re: mail() function problem
What you need to do is set your SMTP server inside the php.ini file...
[mail function]
SMTP = smtp.server.com ; for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well ; (default is
sendmail -t)
The test string I used to make sure my example worked:
?php
print mail ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'No need for reply -- PHP test!', /* subject */
hi JohnnLine 2n);/* body*/

[PHP] Re: Mail module array limits
Hello, On 08/17/2004 02:17 PM, Sandy Keathley wrote: I want to send emails to 2700 addresses selected from a MySQL database (an opt-in list). I am using the Mail module, assembling the addresses into an array, and passing that to the module. I have done this before with a few hundred addresses, but in this case, it fails. I know that some of the addresses are no longer good, as a number of them bounce back to a special return box. I have no way of knowing how many were delivered, but I added a special one to the end of the array, and it was not delivered, so I have to assume that not all are going out. My thought is that there is a limit to the size of the array that Mail can handle. I have not tried using the builtin PHP mail function. Does anyone know a better way to accomplish this? The mail function does not take arrays as arguments. Even if you are assembling addresses or using multiples To:, Cc: or Bcc: headers, your mailing system may be imposing a limit of recipients per messages. Today is no longer a good idea sending a single message to many recipients. Even if you split your mailing in several iterations of the mail function, to preserve the recipients privacy, you need to use Bcc:, but that way several well known mailing systems will tag your messages as spam because the recipients addresses are not visible in To: or Cc: header. This means that the safest way to send messages to many recipients is to queue them separately. It takes a lot of time to queue, but the messages do not take the risk of being tagged as spam. Despite of this, there are some system specific optimizations that can be done to reduce the queue time. Just let me know which mail system do you use (Windows based, sendmail, qmail, exim, postfix, etc..) so I can advise. -- 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

You may want to try this class that can be used to do precisely what you want. You can compose and send messages and have them delivered to an SMTP server of your choice. If you do not want to change your scripts much, it comes with a wrapper function name smtp_mail() that can be used with exactly the same arguments as the mail() function, but it lets you send messages via an SMTP server.

If it is relevant in any case is because the recipient server has some kind a filtering facility. What usually is relevant is the return path address. That determines where the messages that are rejected should be bounced, but more important than that, it determines which address is informed as sender to the recipient server e-mail address. The way you set the return path address depends on the actual mailing system you are using. In some cases it is not possible to change it. You may want to take a look at this class that comes with several sub-classes to deliver messages via different methods: mail(), SMTP, sendmail, qmail, etc.. You just need to set the Return-Path header with the bounce address and each of the classes takes care of making it the real return path address. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- 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

I would also suggest adding the following headers to the message, as they are supposed to help keep the spam filters from recognizing a message as spam: X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Of course, you can read up on the various priority levels and change them if you want, but these settings are for normal priority mail and will help to pass it through the spam filters, from what I understand.

Can anybody help me? Thanks! Juan Torres. It means that the SMTP server you set in your php.ini won't let you send mail like that. If yhe SMTP server you're using is your ISP's, it will probably not let you send messages from a yahoo address. Try using the e-mail address they gave you when you signed up. If you don't have one, ask whoever owns the SMTP server how to allow relaying. Likely this will take changing your From: address. If you want replies to go to your yahoo address, use the Reply-To: header. If you do need authentication or more control, I'd suggest using PEAR's Mail package. http://pear.php.net/package/Mail PEAR takes a little getting used to, but you'll thank me in the end. An easier solution would be to set up an SMTP server on your machine. This website may be useful: http://www.softstack.com/advsmtp.html The problem with this is that some mail providers (aol.com, etc.) may not accept your mail. Your best bet is to figure out what to send to the SMTP server of your ISP to allow you to send mail. -- paperCrane Justin Patrin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You may want to try this class that comes with a wrapper function named smtp_mail() that can replace the mail() function but also let you specify the user name and password for authenticating with your SMTP server: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage You also need this: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass -- 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

Re: [PHP] Re: mail question (mime)
...and talking about mail, is there a class to parse an incoming mail? Let me explain: I'm using the great POP3 pear class to receive mail, but I'm having trouble separating the different parts in an multipart/alternative type of msg. Is there a class to receive the result from POP3 class and convert it into an array of all the specific parts of an mail? Thanks!
