Hi,

I'm executing a third-parity standard PHP application on a Windows IIS 7

I need to convert, or use, a SMTP mailer service.  I found two SMTP PHP 
scripts - I think may work.


The sourceforge.net PHPMailer project and the pear.php.net (Mail, 
Net_SMTP) project.


Can any body please help me choose one and probably give a code snip of 
useage?


Currently, I'm leaning forward the PHPMailer, with little to base the 
decision on.


Hi,

I'd take a look at http://www.phpguru.org/static/smtp.html
It doesn't make the mistake of muddling the differnece between the 
message envelope and the message body, so you can set the recipients 
directly and different from the messages to/cc/bcc headers. It has a 
fairly sane design, based on the smtp protocol. And finally it uses 
exceptions in a sane way. Oh, and its a fairly small and straightforward 
piece of code, easy to include in any application.


There's one problem in it when using it for bulk-mail. If you add many 
recipients and one of them is incorrect, it will fail the entire message.


It's not free for commercial use, but the one-time license fee is more 
than worth it.

You only need a local SMTP server if you want to hold and relay mail.

If you want to send mail directly to the recipients SMTP server you
can do that with standard PHP.

getmxrr() is your friend here.

You provide it with the domain of the recipient and you get back the
SMTP server(s) associated with that domain.

Now, you can send the message to THEIR smtp server ...

ini_set('SMTP', );

where  is one of the servers returned from getmxrr().

No authentication required.

It seems to work OK; but, I know from experience using the mail servers 
that increasingly everything must be exactly right to prevent recipient 
mail servers from rejecting emails.


All the email servers I have worked with only care about the proper 
authentication credentials and accept any valid email address for From: 
Reply-to and so on. Free services, like Googlemail.com, may differ.


The receiving server on the other hand will usually do a domain 
validation of the From: field to ensure that the domain exists, validate 
the SPF record and do a few other anti spam tricks.

No, AFAIK you cannot configure the SMTP server that way, unless your Web
hosting company hacked the mail function. Otherwise, I think they have
no idea how to do it and are wild guessing.

The fact is that you do not need to use an SMTP server, especially if
your web host is run on Linux or any Unix like system.

In Linux the mail function just injects the message in the local mail
server queue and from then on the mail server sends the message to the
remote recipient domain SMTP server so it reaches the destination mailbox.

You may want to watch this slide presentation that has a slide that
explains exactly how mail messages are routed. Take a look at slide 13.

I'm curious what's the error you get when you use the mail function?

Also, if you have SMTP running on port 25 you should be able to telnet
localhost 25 and run some SMTP commands (EHLO, etc).

Beware as well that some ISPs block port 25 so you may need to use their SMPT
server instead of yours, if you can telnet your SMTP server but not send emails,
then you either:
1 - Need to authenticate yourself against your SMTP server, or
2 - You have port 25 blocked, and need to use your ISP's server, or an external
SMTP server that you can talk to on a port other than 25.

I may be incorrect on this, but I'm pretty sure that
Win2K/XP/Vista have Microsoft Exchange bundled in for SMTP.  Check in
Add/Remove Programs  Windows Components  Internet Information
Services (I think, but I'm guessing I really don't use Windows
that often).  Even though it has the same name (IIS), in this case,
it's the category for all Internet services.  There should be
something mentioning SMTP there.

  if yes, where can i find it and what steps should i perform to be sure my
  emails are sent ?

Check the logs for Exchange/SMTP or whatever other MTA you decide
to use and see if there's anything mentioned about the problem.  It
could be an authentication/negotiation issue.  Also, check your
Windows firewall (or third-party software) to ensure that you can
connect to localhost:25.  The easiest way to test this is as follows:

Start  Run
Type: cmd
Type: telnet localhost 25
If it connects, type: HELO localhost
Note the response.

You can then try sending a message through the server manually, if
you'd like.  While still connected via Telnet as shown above, type the
following (replacing things as necessary):

MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DATA
Subject: Testing Email from Telnet
This is a test.
.

Always end with a period on a line of its own.  That should show
you what, if any, error messages are being kicked out by your SMTP
server.

Hi Ray,

we tested it with telnet and it seems that it works... but my mail client
does not receive it. :-(
php mail function just tells me that email can not be delivered.
here is the function:

 if (mail($to, $subject, $body))
 {
 echo(pMessage successfully sent!/p);
 }
 else
 {
 echo(pMessage delivery failed.../p);
 }


and it returns false... so message delivery failed.
and i use on the same local PC so no ISP. server is used.

 Win2K/XP/Vista have Microsoft Exchange bundled in for SMTP.  Check in
 Add/Remove Programs  Windows Components  Internet Information
 Services (I think, but I'm guessing I really don't use Windows
 that often).  Even though it has the same name (IIS), in this case,
 it's the category for all Internet services.  There should be
 something mentioning SMTP there.

   if yes, where can i find it and what steps should i perform to be sure
 my
   emails are sent ?

 Check the logs for Exchange/SMTP or whatever other MTA you decide
 to use and see if there's anything mentioned about the problem.  It
 could be an authentication/negotiation issue.  Also, check your
 Windows firewall (or third-party software) to ensure that you can
 connect to localhost:25.  The easiest way to test this is as follows:

 Start  Run
 Type: cmd
 Type: telnet localhost 25
 If it connects, type: HELO localhost
 Note the response.

You can then try sending a message through the server manually, if
 you'd like.  While still connected via Telnet as shown above, type the
 following (replacing things as necessary):

 MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 DATA
 Subject: Testing Email from Telnet
 This is a test.
 .

Always end with a period on a line of its own.  That should show
 you what, if any, error messages are being kicked out by your SMTP
 server.

Hi,

a real feedback and i guess you already faced the same issue as mine.
basically, i develop php web application on windows XP platform.
So i have apache 2.24 installed and PHP 5.2.4.

now i would like to test if my application send emails, so i've checked my
php.ini file and it seems ok.
i tried to use IIS from windows to define a default SMTP server, but as my
emails are not sent, i guess something is wrong with IIS.

so does it exist a free SMTP server (similar that linux daemon) but running
on windows XP ?
if yes, where can i find it and what steps should i perform to be sure my

i do not want to transfer all my web application each time i want to test
email sending...
i would like to test it locally.

thanks for your feedback.

I could be wrong, but I thought that you had to specify the SMTP server
in the php.ini file.

Maybe that means you already did that. The second issue might be that
your SMTP server is MS Exchange, and it requires authentication.

If that is the case, then search for php SMTP authentication:

Hi Alain,

I think you have two options:

1 - Install a MTA in your windows box, such as Mercury Mail (if you install
XAMPP, you get Apache, PHP, MySQL, Filezilla FTP Server and Mercury Mail - use
google to know what XAMPP is). To use the mail function on windows, you will
NEED a MTA (correct me if I'm wrong, but sendmail is not available in PHP for
Windows, the mail function will try to reach an MTA on port 25 or the port
you have set up in your php.ini).

2 - Use SMTP Authentication to send out emails on behalf of an existing
authenticated email box (or a relay server if you find one).

If you choose the second option (SMTP authentication) you will likely also use
PHPMailer (or PEAR_Mail, or any of the featured classes at
http://www.phpclasses.org that support SMTP authentication) unless you are
willing to write your own class for SMTP stuff through sockets. So let's say you
have an email box with the following information:

User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Password: mypassword
SMTP Server: smtp.mydomain.com

Your PHPMailer code will look like:

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail-Mailer = 'smtp';
$mail-SMTPAuth = true;
$mail-Username = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$mail-Password = 'mypassword';
$mail-Host = 'smtp.mydomain.com';
$mail-From = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$mail-FromName = 'My beautiful website';
$mail-Subject = 'You know what this is';
$mail-Body = 'Your email message';
$mail-AddAddress('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'Mr X-Man');
$mail-AddReplyTo('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'My Beautiful Website');
$mail-Send();

Hope this helps. This issue drove me crazy on my first month with PHP... what is
worse, I asked in the office I worked for at that time. They said it was not
possible (great I don't work there anymore). As The Rock said... NEVER SAY
NO :).

Cheers,

Rob(inet)
