[PHP] Sendmail question

[nihilism machine]

I have a link that i want to use as the  body of an html email. here  
is the code i use:


// Notify about comments
public function emailComment($Link, $ID) {
$mail = new SendMail();
$mail->SetCharSet("ISO-8859-1");
$mail->from("someone", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$mail->to("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$mail->subject("New Comment!");
	$str = 'http://www.mysite.com/permalink.php?ID='. 
$Link.'">Comment ID #'.$ID.'';

$mail->text($str);
//$mail->attachment($fileName);
$mail->send();

Where link = a number.

the email that i get is:

So the email should be a link to: http://www.mysite.com/permalink.php?ID=120
but instead links to: http://www.mysite.com/permalink.php?ID%120

Here is the php sendmail library =

textboundary = uniqid(time());
$this->emailboundary = uniqid(time());
$this->charset = "ISO-8859-1";
}

public function SetCharSet($char) {
$this->charset = $char;

die('Invalid Email Address: '.$emailAddress);
}
return $emailAddress;

}
$this->emailheader .= "\r\n";
}
$this->emailheader .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";
}

$this->subject = $subject;
}

	$this->textheader .= 'Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

I don't think you should be allowing the php binary to be run like
that...

It's just too easy for some hacker email to run arbitrary PHP code on
your box this way, as I understand it...

At least that's my recollection of how you do NOT want to set up:
sendmail | smrsh | php

The "Right Way" to make sure that only the script you WANT to run is
run is to put the actual PHP script in the /etc/smrsh directory, use
#! at the top of it, and sendmail pipe the data to the executable .php
script.




I don't understand what you mean. A lot of people are using the 
smrsh/sendmail combination to run scripts on their site. more often they use 
cgi instead of PHP, and now it seems that you are saying that PHP is not a 
good thing to use with sendmail/smrsh.
You are saying that it is not safe to use smrsh/php, yet smrsh has been 
specifically designed to use sendmail/scripts in a secure way (it stands for 
restricted shell).
How do you explain that the 'sympa' production level bulk email program does 
use symlinks with sendmail and smrsh the exact same way I do, wouldn't they 
know that this would be a potential security breach?
Also, I did follow exactly the recommendation of smrsh on how to setup 
symlinks with sendmail and interpreters:

http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap22sec182.html

I think that I do things the right way, just as many other who use phpp 
scrits with sendmail to handle e-mail bounces do it, because putting the 
real file in /etc/smrsh or putting a link to the file in the same diretory 
doesn't present any security difference, as the script will be exectued 
exactly the same way, and if a hacker can have access to the symlink, then 
he will also be able to have access to the real file.


Else, I have the safe mode set to off, so the php.ini configuration should 
not be the problem.


Anyway, thanks for your answers Richard, because it helped me to develop my 
understanding about this problem.

I will try to put it in the bug database.

Thanks again for your support.

Regards,
Daniel

PHP may not allow a symlink, I guess, based on various php.ini
settings such as open_basedir or safe_mode or whatever...

And I guess the permissions/ownership of the symlink and or the .php
file would matter.

You could probably dink around with php.ini to "fix" all this, if you
insist on running an insecure setup...

But it would make a LOT more sense to do it the Right Way, as I
understand it.  You could probably get away with having a symlink (or
hard link) in whatever other directory you want to be able to edit the
PHP script...

Subject: [PHP] sendmail loop

I have a sendmail script that loops through an array of email addresses. the
problem is, the list can sometimes be fairly long, and the page does not
finish loading until the loop has completed.  Currently, I have the majority
of the page loading, including text that says "messages sending, please
wait.", with a "completed" message after the loop.  Though that gives an
appearance of working (and lets the patient user know what is going on), if
the user leaves the page, or the page times out before the loop has
finished, not all the emails will be sent.

 

Is there a way to trigger a script to run on the server (in the background)?

 

I had the thought to save the notice to the DB, and then have a cron check
every few minutes to send it, but that could be too much load on the
servers.  Any other alternatives?

 

Thanks!

Re: [PHP] sendmail smrsh symlinks not working against php scripts

However, if I put a hardlink instead of the symlink, all works
fine!
The permissions of the symlink and the file linekd are all 777.

Has anyone already had this problem before, or would anyone have an

smrsh itself may disallow symlinks.  Wouldn't surprise me.

Why not just use #!/usr/bin/php -q at the top of your PHP script?



I cannot do this, because the script itself is not executed.

Also, I am using the version 4.3.9-3.22.4 on my server (default centos 4.4

"No input specified" is pretty self explanatory...

You ran PHP, but didn't give it a PHP script as input.

If it's not executed, it would be very difficult for it to send an
email from within the script.

At this point, I don't have any idea what you're trying to do, much
less what is going wrong with it.

Something else to my previous answer.
Here is the answer of the sendmail guys. Maybe they are still right? Would 
PHP have a problem to handle symlinked input files? I have the security mode 
disabled in the php.ini file.

Thanks,
Daniel



This is a poor place to find an answer, because the one thing that
stands out is that this is a problem with php, not Sendmail, and this is
a Sendmail newsgroup not a php newsgroup.  Your  dangerously outdated
version of php is running and emitting an error ("No input file
specified.") that doesn't make sense outside of php, but probably
indicates special handling done by php when given a symlink instead of a
regular file.

Looking at the output there, I'd *guess* that you have php set up wrong
for this sort of use. I'm not a php expert, so I won't try to guess at a
fix.

[PHP] sendmail smrsh symlinks not working against php scripts

[dan1]

Hello.

I am trying to forward the e-mails received to one address towards a php
script, under CentOS 4 (RHEL).
I am trying all I can but nothing does.

I have edited my /etc/aliases file and added this line.
ecard-bounce: "|/usr/bin/php /etc/smrsh/ecardbounce.php"

Then, of course I do a 'newaliases'.
In my /etc/smrsh I have placed the symbolic link defined above, which has
been created this way:
ln -s /home/my/scripts/ecardbounce.php /etc/smrsh/ecardbounce.php

When using this configuration, I get the following error back by email:

   - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
"|/usr/bin/php /etc/smrsh/ecardbounce.php"
(reason: 255)
(expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)

   - Transcript of session follows -
Status: 404
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9

No input file specified.
554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 255



However, if I put a hardlink instead of the symlink, all works fine!
The permissions of the symlink and the file linekd are all 777.

Has anyone already had this problem before, or would anyone have an idea of
the cause?

With set_time_limit you could set the timeout value higer:
http://www.php.net/set_time_limit
So that your script won't timeout when it takes too long.
Also, when the user closes his browser, the script will continue!

[PHP] PHP sendmail proxy (using xinetd)

[Kelly Jones]

I'm trying to write a sendmail proxy in PHP: people would connect to
my proxy running on port 25 (via xinetd), and the proxy would connect
to sendmail (tweaked to run on port 26).

Currently, the proxy is 100% transparent, but I plan to tweak it to
intercept sendmail's replies and substitute its own. My ultimate goal
is to implement sender-recipient-based greylisting (not IP-based
greylisting, which can be done without a proxy).

My problem: the proxy works fine when I test it, but seems to cutoff
some clients. I send the clients a "message accepted for delivery"
message and close the connection, but the client thinks it's been
cutoff and tries to deliver the mail again a little later (ironically,
this is the behavior I'll want when I start greylisting, but not
now!). This happens w/ legitimate ISP SMTP clients, not just spammers.

I suspect I'm doing something wrong with buffering or flushing. I made
both STDIN and the socket connection (to port 26, where sendmail's
running for real) nonblocking, since it's hardish to tell which one's
going to "speak" next.

Is there any generic proxy code I could use? An existing PHP sendmail
proxy would be even better.

Note: I realize that using a proxy means that *all* sendmail
connections appear to come from localhost, which is dangerous. Once in
production, my proxy will handle this situation by using xinetd's
REMOTE_HOST environment variable.

Hi Dave,

ensure, that your script has sufficent permissons in sight of the MTA
daemon.
Lets say your sendmail daemon is running under user name "sendmail".
Then make shure, that /home/agecon/dm/ac_incomingphp also is owned by user
sendmail an has the
chmod u+rx /home/agecon/dm/ac_incomingphp
execute permission set, so the #!. in the first line of your script can
get involved.

Maybe this helps.
Ciao.

to run as a general cgi, and then proceeds to access the email by opening
php://stdin. I get all that.

However, I am editing the /etc/aliases file to create an email alias for the
script by inserting the following line:

agecon "/|/home/agecon/dm/ac_incomingphp"

...as per the usual process, the user where my files are is called agecon,
so I expect that when I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it will be passed
the the script. I ran sendmail -bi to update the alias after editing but
when I send the email nothing happens. Am I missing something.

I understand that this is a php/Linux question rather than a pure php
inquiry but wonder if anyone has tried to do the same thing.


if your script isn't even getting accessed, it's more of a 
sendmail/Linux question.  I do this for automating quite a few tasks, 
but with qmail...


.qmail-theaddress
|/path/to/php/script.php

You can read the contents of the email, line for line with...

while ( $line = fgets ( STDIN ) ) {
//  do stuff
}

[PHP] Sendmail issue

[Dave Goodchild]

Hi all, I am trying to trigger a php script by sending an email to it. The
script commences with

#!/usr/local/bin/php

to run as a general cgi, and then proceeds to access the email by opening
php://stdin. I get all that.

However, I am editing the /etc/aliases file to create an email alias for the
script by inserting the following line:

agecon "/|/home/agecon/dm/ac_incomingphp"

...as per the usual process, the user where my files are is called agecon,
so I expect that when I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it will be passed
the the script. I ran sendmail -bi to update the alias after editing but
when I send the email nothing happens. Am I missing something.

I understand that this is a php/Linux question rather than a pure php
inquiry but wonder if anyone has tried to do the same thing.

Thanks in advance, dave goodchild (web-buddha.co.uk)

Re: [PHP] sendmail crash

[Michiel van der Blonk]

Hi

New results: This problem does not seem to be Smarty related, although it
did occur when
Smarty tried to read from memory. Probable cause: PEAR was missing a field
in the ini file where the email address was defined, which resulted in empty
addresses being given to sendmail. Sendmail doesn't return an error, but
does cause apache to crash later on. I will take this up with PEAR
DB_DataObject people.

Hi

Haha. That would be a funny email. No, this is just sample text. The actual
email is 8KB and contains no images/attachments.

> (I just tried googling the problem but the only thing that seemed

Yeah I tried that too... I feel so alone..

Anyway, some new information: I found a workaround. I am using the Smarty
template engine. When I delete all smarty variables from the template I do
get a page, instead of the 404. So, it must mean that Smarty trips over
something that either sendmail or the PEAR code does. When I take out the
sendmail line everything also works fine, so it's a combination of things.

The only remaining problem is this pain in the back of my head in the
'Mental Frustration' lobe.

Any new insights are welcome. I'll post the problem to the Smarty list.

[PHP] sendmail crash

[Michiel van der Blonk]

Hi

I am having a problem with sendmail. It gives me a segfault when I use the
Mail and Mail_Mime package right when I call sendmail.

I am using the following params
Array
(
[host] => localhost
[port] => 25
[auth] => 1
[username] => account
[password] => secret
[sendmail_path] => /path/to/sendmail
)

Then I prepare and call the send command
$hdrs = array(
'From'=> $from,
'Subject' => "Confirmation for $person->FIRST_NAME
$person->LAST_NAME",
'Bcc' => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
);

$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$text="text";
$html="text";
$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$mail =& Mail::factory('sendmail', $params);
return $mail->send($person->EMAIL, $hdrs, $body);

Result: Apache error messages:
emalloc: cannot allocate ... bytes
and also
erealloc: cannot allocate ... bytes

I just upgraded to php 4.3.10 on FreeBSD.

any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Sendmail Return-Path

[Enda Nagle - Lists]

Hi Justin,

I just tried this code:

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From: Webstore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
$headers .= "To: $email_address\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: My Website\n";
$headers .= "X-Return-path: ME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
$subject = "Your Order";
$from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

$message .="xx";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $from, $headers)
 or print "Could not send mail to customer";

But I get a SAFE MODE error, so I guess I¹ll just have to try that PEAR
package.

use the 5th parameter to mail();

  mail(..., '-f "ME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"');

This should work if you put it in the right place in the call. Try
just \n as well. If it doesn't work, try using a mailing class such

[PHP] Sendmail Return-Path

[Enda Nagle - Lists]

Hi Guys,

I¹m using PHP¹s mail() function on several sites, but have difficulty
sometimes with the mails being tagged as SPAM.

I want to have the Return-Path set to the site admin, but can¹t see where to
do this.

I know that it can be done at server root level but I can¹t really do that
as its a shared server.

I do have my own php.ini file for my site, but can only see the following
vars:

mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t
-i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

I¹m working off a Linux box, so presumably I can¹t use the sendmail_from
variable?

I also tried to set the following variable in the headers for the mail:

$headers .= "X-Return-path: ME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

[PHP] Sendmail wrapper

[Federico Petronio]

Hi all... I have a chrooted Apache/PHP on Solaris 8 working fine except 
for one PHP function, mail(). I read that in Unix environments there is 
not possible to make PHP use a remote SMTP and it needs to find a 
sendmail executable un the path.

Since including Postfix in the chrooted env. does not look very nice, I 
try to use a wapper (local_FS->remote_SMTP), but I am not happy with the 
one I found. It does not handle well the CC, nor the BCC so I change it 
a little, but still have issues (for explample if the SMTP does not 
responds, it don't try angain and the mail is lost).

Do you know some sendmail wrapper to recomend?

Any help is welcome... Bye!

Using sendmail will almost always be very very much faster because

  - you're talking to the local machine
  - you're offloading the mail process to something else

and so if you can do so -- even if your machine is only set up with a
"dumb" mailer that only knows how to talk to your U's smarthost -- I
would recommend that you run, not walk, to do so :-)

[PHP] sendmail vs smpt

[Pablo Gosse]

Hi all.  I'm curious as to the performance difference between scripts
that use sendmail vs. smtp for their mailing abilities.

 

I use the following class for delivering emails,
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net  ,
and since I don't have sendmail running on my local machine I'm using
the smtp server of the university where I work to deliver my messages.
However, it seems to be a bit sluggish.

 

I'm going to run a test of switching the mail handler from smtp to
sendmail once the application is in its permanent home in a few weeks,
but for now does anyone have any opinions on this, and is there any
advantage to using one over the other?

Thanks in advance,

Pablo

Probably. The -f option sets the envelope 'From:' and can be restricted to
only 'trusted' users. I don't think this has ever been used to specify a
gateway.

The following is *wrong* -but one of them might get you out:

To: @mainservername:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 -- or --
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@mainservername

 ... and the sysadmin will probably whack your pee-pee for doing that. 

So let him/her know beforehand so they don't TOS you. 

And the last resort is fsockopen(mainservername, 25)

i am running this program in one of the server not in the main server..

actually mail will go from this server to  mainserver which will 
deliver the mails outside..but using this server only internal mails will 
go..if i send mail using this code mails will go from this server id not 
by main server id name..because of this outside mails are bouncing back..

Can any one pls tell me where is the problem ??

Is there any configuration need to do for this ??

Uma

If I understand your question correctly (and I may not):

Assuming RedHat linux, then as root "which sendmail" should return you 
something like "/usr/sbin/sendmail". This would tell you that it is 
installed. "ps ax | grep sendmail" should give you "sendmail: accepting 
connections". This would mean that it is running.

If it is installed but not running, then "chkconfig --list sendmail" 
will list the runlevels that it is set to run under. Normally it is 2, 
3, 4 and 5. "chkconfig --level 2345 sendmail on" will set it to run at 
those runlevels, and "service sendmail start" will start it up 
immediately if it is not running.

Hope this helps

Chris

As you can see, the mail app failed.. The information from the

The above files are pretty much greek to me!! Other than telling me it can't
seem to handle the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address... which is odd... As a
test, I changed the email address.. I get the same response...

Is there something that I'm missing that has to be set for this to work

I have Linux Redhat 8.0, PHP 4.2.2...

I have the sendmail RPM and the PHP RPMs from the Redhat 8.0 installation
disks

Any help/assistance will be appreciated

Bruce,
How about trying something really simple like this. I know it works.
It's part of an HTML form I've used, so you'll need one with a $name,
$email, and $morestuff input section:

  $toaddress = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
  $subject = "My Subject";
  $mailcontent = "Name: ".$name."\n"
 ."E-mail Address: ".$email."\n"
 ."Additional Information: \n".$morestuff."\n";
  mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent);

[PHP] php/sendmail/apache/linux...

[Bruce Douglas]

hey...

I'm sure the question has been answered a 1000 times!!! I'm trying to create
a simple app to send email via PHP, using the "mail" function.

I'm using RedHat(Linux 8.0 , Sendmail), PHP(4.2.2), Apache (2.0.40).

I'm using the following piece of code:

===
//test mail
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "savannah registration";
$message = " testing mail";
$reply = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n"
."Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n";

echo"
 to = " . $to . "";

echo"
 subject = " . $subject . "";

echo"
 msg = " . $message . "";

echo"
 reply = " . $reply . "";

 $q1 = mail($to, $subject, $message, $reply);
echo"
 return val  = " . $q1 . "";


===

Pretty simple eh... The problem that I have is that the mail doesn't appear
to get sent. When I look in the /var/spool/clientmqueue directory, I see a
great deal of what look to be error msgs They appear to be telling me
that the mail couldn't be delivered, but I can't tell why

I was able to successfully send a test msg via Sendmail from the command
line by telnet. So I know the Sendmail engine/daemon seems to be
performing... The PHP.ini file appears to be setup correctly, with the
sendmail_path pointing to sendamil.

Any ideas as to what I need to do, or should be checking

Any pointers/assistance would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

-Bruce

RE: [PHP] PHP sendmail configuration

[Petre Agenbag]

The problem you are having took me a while to grasp. Basically, what
happens is that sendmail sends the mail as the user php/apache was
installed as (usually nobody@ or apache@ yourdomain.com).
Setting the Return-Path does not work, as you cannot override the
Return-Path set by the server in this way, that's why messages bounce to
your root account when sent with a php mail() function. If you only host
one domain on a server, you can fix this by editing the sendmail.cf file
and setting the Return-Path: to something more meaningful: However, most
people don't have the luxury of having a "one domain" hosting solution.

Your only other option is to invoke sendmail with the -f switch:
sendmail -f sender@address recipient@address  richard check your php.ini & the mail stuff in there .. it's most likely

[PHP] PHP sendmail configuration

[Richard Baskett]

Ok I know it's off topic, but I've been working on this for over 5 hours now
and I almost have it configured, but something is definitely wrong!
Basically I can send email using sendmail by this command:

echo "Just a test" | mail -s "test" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now [EMAIL PROTECTED] receives the email, but the From address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and I have no idea where it is getting that
address from!  Does anyone know how I can change that from address?

And what would stop the above command from delivering to certain valid email
addresses?

This is definitely causing problems with my php server also when trying to
send emails...

Re: [PHP] Sendmail Security

[Timothy Hitchens (HiTCHO)]

Regardless if mail() takes precautions you should also
check input prior to trusting it.

Note:  If mail does or doesn't if it changes in the future you
are covered if you always check.

I would suggest a simple addslashes and the (shell/sendmail)
will be fine OR better still do an array with  a callback
either removal or addslashes equiv.

[PHP] Sendmail Security

[Beth Gore]

Hi,

If I'm taking an URL as user input from in a form, and then emailing 
that URL back to them as part of a larger message, how do I ensure that 
no-one sends anything strange to run shell commands through sendmail?

Could anyone confirm that mail() or even sendmail does take precautions 
against shell commands being executed in the message body of the email?

If not, is there an easy way to remove everything except 
":","/",".","a-Z","0-9"? I've written very complicated things in the 
past and I'm sure there must be an easier way!!!

I've already made sure it's not possible to abuse sendmail with the 
user's email address, but I'm still nervous.

Thanks!

[PHP] sendmail problem

[Jeff Bluemel]

OK - I got the rasmail codes from Zend.com's code library.  it is working
perfectly for my application except for one problem.  the email I am using
to send has a .pdf file attachment.

I can open that PDF file up directly from the site after it is created, but
I cannot open the file attachment up.  it seems the coding is wrong of
something like that so that the attachment is getting corrupted.

I have emailed the author for assistance, but haven't receive a response.
I'm hoping somebody here can assist me.

here is the part of code;

function Attachment($attachedfile) {
  if ($attachedfile) {
  $pf=@fopen($attachedfile,"r") or die($this->ErrorOutput(9));
  $bytes=fread($pf,filesize($attachedfile));
  $file=chunk_split(base64_encode($bytes));
  fclose($pf);

[PHP] Sendmail "return-path" from my virtual webhost

[Al]

Emails sent from my php scripts, using sendmail, all have a goofy

Is there a way I can correct this, or does it require a change to the 
sendmail config file that I can't get to?

Are you using unix/linux? If so, then IIRC the sendmail_path is misleading, it 
actually wants the path and file. Thus:

sendmail_path   =   /usr/sbin/sendmail

Usually if your sendmail is in the standard place then leaving sendmail_path 
empty is fine.

Try commenting out the sendmail_path line with a ";" at the beginning of 
the line.

Also, mail() only works for me when I'm connected to the internet.  Are 
you?

I don't have the /usr/sbin in mine (I left it at the default blank) and 
it works. Can an ordinary user send emails to the destinations you are 
trying to get to with PHP? If not, then you have a sendmail 
configuration issue.

The envelope address can be set on a per script basis by setting the sendmail_from 
value 
using ini_set(). Alternatively, if you are using Apache, you can set it in a .htaccess 
file.

Apparently, this problem is faced by any user who utilizes a hosting provider.

SOLUTION

I've found 2 php classes (developed by Manuel Lemo) that address this problem.

The first, email_message.php was built to send MIME-encoded messages.

The second, sendmail_message extends the first by addressing the 
return-path problem.

Unfortunately, the first parses the message to allow sending MIME-encoded 
messages.  For many who are only sending plain text messages, this is 
unnecessary processing.

HELP NEEDED

I would like to consolidate these 2 classes and eliminate the 
parsing.  Unfortunately, I'm a newbie and need help from the pros.

If anyone is interested in participating in this project, please e-mail me 
directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After completion this "new" class would be submitted to www.phpclasses.org 
for everyone to use.

Thanks!

Put a from line in the additional headers argument:
   
   mail($To, $Subject, $Body, "From: $From");

[PHP] Return path (php/sendmail)

[Anthony Rodriguez]

Does "Reply-To" works for you?

My Web hosting provider runs php (4.1.1) / sendmail (8.10.2) / apache 
(1.3.20) / linux red hat (6.2) and I don't get bounced e-mails.

Any suggestions?

[PHP] Sendmail 8.10.2 headers

[Anthony Rodriguez]

As you may know, headers included in the 4th argument of PHP's mail() are 
sent to the outgoing mail server.

What header(s) can I send to sendmail 8.10.2 (running under Linux Redhat 
6.2) in order for invalid e-mails be returned to my e-mail address rather 
than my hosting provider's default address?

Thank you!

[PHP] Sendmail

[Uma Shankari T.]

 Hello,

   
 Can anyone help me in solving this problem..

 For sending mail using sendmail i have written the code like this but it
is giving some error messages in the From address instead of address

 $TO=Me;
 $[EMAIL PROTECTED];


$fd = popen("/usr/sbin/sendmail -t","w");
fputs($fd, "To: $user\n");
fputs($fd, "From: $TO\n");
fputs($fd, "Subect: Feedback\n");
$ver = phpversion();
fputs($fd, "X-Mailer: PHP/FI $ver\n\n");
fputs($fd, "Hii $user,\n $body \n");
pclose($fd);


  Can anyone tell the solution for this.

Re: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!

[James Taylor]

Ha, I shouldn't even bother posting this as it's pretty irrelevant for this 
list but...

forget qmail, go with Postfix :)  Qmail doesn't have one centralized config 
file, and it gets annoying having to edit this one, then this one, then make 
this file, etc.

Plus, I usually try to avoid Dan Bernstein projects!

Go with QMAIL

Lots of support (mailing lists, web-sites).  Several books written on it.
Easier to set-up than sendmail. Very configurable.
Written by same gent that wrote ezmlm mailing list application (ezmlm
handles the PHP mailing lists).

Many thanks!  That is what I am doing now and I was hoping that I could

Construct a proper From: header, then pass it to the mail() function.

What setting is being overwritten by apache?  the mta setting?

On my RH 7.2 box, my php.ini is in /etc.  That's where you change the mta.

Or do you mean the ServerAdmin email setting as defined in the httpd.conf?

Re: [PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!

[Liam MacKenzie]

www.extremail.com
Best MTA out there!
Join the mailing list too, it's pretty funny at times.

Yeah, with the SMTP thing, I think that because I'm
using Linux, PHP defaults to Sendmail.  In my php.in
I've got the following...

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well.
; sendmail_path = /home/eXtremail/bin/smtpd

All my mail just disappears into mid air now!
Well, all mail coming from my site anyway!

Any Ideas?

[PHP] Sendmail, I've had enough of it!

[Liam MacKenzie]

ARGH!!!

I'm seriously sick of this!  I've spent days on end reading 
documentation, trying settings, seeking help, and it still 
won't bloody work!  So I've taken the ultimate step, and 
applied the trusty rm -rf command to everything that has 
to do with sendmail!

In other words, sendmail is no longer on my systems.  
Screw it, causes more bad than good!  

Ok, now surprisingly enough I do have a final question 
regarding PHP/Mail (And I mean final!)

How can I get PHP to send mail through a local SMTP
server?

I'm running Linux RedHat 7.1, latest Apache and PHP.
I have eXtremail installed locally.  It's a POP3/SMTP 
server.  Works fine - fact.

There's 3 configuration options in php.ini that I've been 
playing with, no matter what the combination is, I don't 
really see it doing anything different.

I've read everything relevant on php.net and still can't
find anything.  I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question.

Thanks s much for all your help!

Re: [PHP] Sendmail & PHP

If I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it leaves the mailqueue

When I send an email to a local address, it sits in the queue for ever,
so I force delivery

Forcing the attempted delivery of mail with the command
/usr/lib/sendmail -v -q ..

[PHP] Sendmail & PHP

[Liam MacKenzie]

Sorry about this, yet another question about sendmail...

I've spent days on this, read stacks of docs and just can not get it to work!
It sends some emails...  But others it rejects.
Please, if you know of any tutorials on how to set this stuff up, please
tell me!  
If you think you may be able to set it up for me using webmin, I will make
you a temporary account.  I just need it fixed!  By any means!

Thankyou so much for your help, this has frustrated me for too long now!!!

Liam

P.S.  Below is the error dump from sendmail.

RE: [PHP] PHP/Sendmail interaction : how to get rid of wrong emails

[Jon Farmer]

For perl look at

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-category/19_Mail_and_Usenet_News/Mail/Mail-Ch
eckUser-1.02.readme

As for php you would need to open a socket connection.. My advice would be
to use the perl module and call a perl script from php.

Regards

Jon

RE: [PHP] PHP/Sendmail interaction : how to get rid of wrong emails

[Jon Farmer]

Well on submission of the email you could try contacting their mail server
and pretend to a have a mail for them using SMTP.

If you get a "recipient ok" or similar message.. ,thre is a code for it,
then at least the server accepts mail for that address. You might be better
off croning this rather than have the user wait on a http request.
Alternatively there is a perl mod that does this as well.

Secondly you could write a script that downloads the mail from root and
deletes out the database anything that bounces. You could even delete these
messages from the root account once done

Hi all

I'm facing the Problem that lots of my users are too stupid to write
their email correct.
When i mail them with php a return email is send to me by their
mailserver, which
results in LOTS of mail for the root account.
Can i get sendmail to put the returned emails in a file? so that i can
check that file with php
and delete those mails from my DB ?
or is there a way to check the email when they enter it in a form
(online versus their mailserver)?
i already check for wrong email syntax, but that does not solve the
problem...

How about nullmailer?
It has sendmail wrapper and could send message to any smtp or qmqp
servers.

Yup, try qmail: www.qmail.org

[PHP] sendmail

[BRACK]

Hi,

I'm on virtual hosting that lets me configure anything with .htaccess 
file. I was recomended by provider to specify location of sendmail in 
case I want to use php mail() function I know that I may do it in 
.htaccess file by adding php_value sendmail_path 
/usr/sbin/sendmail The qwestion is can I do anything else but 
correcting the path in .htaccess, this is the last thing I want to do.

[PHP] sendmail scripts -which user?

[Greg Robillard]

I would like to use the PHP Mail() function. I know
that my script that uses it works, because I have used
it on another server. 
But there seems to be a problem with sendmail, and
whether I can send email as an anonymous user
(noboby).
Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

Yep, I had the same problem yesterday with the mail.
Try to just put a semicolon ";" in front of the sendmail path

[PHP] Sendmail

[Atet Sugiharto]

Hi ,

I'm at a lossI've searched throught the knowledgebase, archives, docs,
etc but I can't figure out what's going on.  The problem is when using the
mail() function nothing gets send and I don't get any error messages either.
It's like the message gets eaten by a black hole.

I already put "-t -i" in the path, but still doesn't work ..
Anybody can help me ?

Regards,

Atet Sugiharto

Damn, the "-t -i" did the trick  I can't believe the fix was so easy and
I spent DAYS (really) trying to figure out what's wrong!  Thanks so much,
Robert. :)

Do you have the switches for sendmail in your path?

Our installs have: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i for the path information...

Ok I solved the problem

I put a user on the trusted class of the sendmail and added -f
otheruser in the php.ini file...

Well man

I'd consider the choice of invoking sendmail -f, it's right what I
need to do, but how can I do so  in the mail function ?

Is there something I have to alter in the php.ini file ?

This issue was discussed a few days ago in another thread.

The site performing final delivery determines Return-Path from the
envelope address.  That means you cannot control Return-Path by means
of header manipulation.

The only way to control the envelope address is to have the web server
call sendmail with the -f option as a trusted user.  The -f option
will let you specify any address.  This has great potential for abuse,
so you must tell sendmail, via its configuration, that the web server
UID can be trusted.

But before doing that, consider the potential for abuse.  For example,
in a virtual hosting environment, what would prevent PHP authors from
providing users with a web form which takes an email address input and
calls sendmail with the -f option, forcing it to use a possibly forced
address as the envelope address?

If the web server is a trusted sendmail user, any PHP script could do
that.  Whoa!
