[PHP] mail problems - phpinfo information
I have been having all kinds of problems with the mail() function in PHP. 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?

When using PHP on Unix/Linux, mail() always defaults to the sendmail binary on localhost. So you can ignore what it says in phpinfo. My mail server at home is running Qmail as well as the web server I run at my work. (Quick plug, Qmail rulez!1!1!!)...okay, anyways, since Qmail comes with a sendmail wrapper you should have no problems using it with the mail() function. If your Qmail server is on a remote host, then you need to configure the local server's sendmail program to relay mail to the remote server. /var/mail is where users mail boxes are stored when using to old mail format mbox. Qmail uses the newer format Maildir which resides in user's home directory.

I had this working a few months ago by changing the php.ini settings to:
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;for win32 only
and I was able to run that script on my box and get an e-mail returned to
me.
Now, I getting a failed to connect.
Please advise.
I'm using MS OE5.
Thank you.

Re: [PHP] mail() problems...
Anthony,
I'm not sure I understand.
=that makes one more! This feature is a bit of a minefield - but once you
get a handle on it, its too useful to be without...
I had this working a few months ago by changing the php.ini settings to:
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;for win32 only
and I was able to run that script on my box and get an e-mail returned to
me.
Now, I getting a failed to connect.
I'm using MS OE5.
=this can only work if:
a) there is an SMTP server on the localhost (and the DNS finds it), or
b) the code wrapped around mail() specifies a valid and reachable SMTP
server, or
c) the code sidesteps the PHP mail facility completely by doing something
else, or
d) its not a Win box (and needs a completely different approach)
=if it was working, it was working; I'm not sure what has been
updated/replaced since - but let's not even go down that track.
=I assume that the Win98 machine has outbound email working from some MTA,
eg Outlook [Express]. Check its definition for an SMTP server. Cut-and-paste
from there into PHP.INI.
=also (because I'm a simple boy), forget all the optional headers etc, just
use a stripped down/simple email stub-script for testing/proving.
=If PHP's mail() can be persuaded to work, thereafter it (and any scripts)
can be 'tweaked'/made better - or we can look back and compare...

Anthony,
Do you have an SMTP server on your Win98 localhost?
Recommend you change the PHP.INI SMTP= to say the same as your email
package's server definitions.

Re: [PHP] mail() problems...
Gentlemen, Thank you for your assistance. The PHP mail scripts were taken from Julie Meloni's book on PHP called Fast and East on pp. 116-117. (PrimaTech). In fact, she writes: If you're using PHP4 on Windows, look for the following lines in your php.ini file: [mail function] SMTP =; for Win32 only sendmail_from = ;for Win32 only You'll need to modify the last two lines so that the mail function works properly. 1. For the SMTP entry, use 'localhost or the name of the outgoing mailserver you use in your e-mail client. 2. For the sendmail_from entry, enter your e-mail address. For example in my php.ini file on Windows contains this: [mail function] SMTP =localhost sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] END QUOTE So that's what I did -using localhost - and I get: failed to connect.

I''ve a php script that gets e-mail addresses from a MySQL db and then using the mail() sends the same message to 100+ recipients. I tested the script twice. FIRST TEST. (1) I commented out the mail() routine. (2) I looped to get the e-mail addresses. (3) I echoed the e-mail addresses on the screen. It worked fine (displayed 136 e-mail addresses) and fast! SECOND TEST. (1) I uncommented out the mail() routine. (2) I used my own e-mail address as the recipient in the mail().

Finally it displayed url not found with the name of the script file. And, I got no e-mails. Is there a conflict between php mail() and the mail server when multiple e-mails are involved? Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Mail () problems - Need help!
Your browser probably timed out. Try using flush() after the echo in the loop. You may also encounter PHP timeout - take a look at set_time_limit() if you bump into that. What I don't understand is why you received no mail - are you sure your mail() syntax is correct? You should try a third test: (1) Change the loop condition so it only loops once; (2) Use the uncommented mail() version; See if you get any mail / error messages...

Hello,
Using a Solaris box with php 4.0.6 I am having a problem sending mail using
mail(). Sendmail is installed and works. Php.ini points to sendmail. What
do the -t and -i options do? Are they required? Any ideas what could be
wrong?
Here is my code:
if( mail( myemailaddresshere, Test, test, From: myemailaddresshere )
== FALSE )
{
print( 'Error sending email 1.' );
}
Thanks,

[PHP] Mail() Problems in a heterogenous network
Ok. Here's the situation: I'm running PHP on a Unix (SGI) box with Apache as a module running an Intranet web server (call it inside.mydomain.com). Sendmail is running on the machine. I'm on a network with a windows Mail server (MS. Exchange 5.5) with (I'm told) appropriate SMTP services running (call it mail.mydomain.com). I'm using a mail class I downloaded from somewhere, which basically calls PHP's mail funciton. The behaviour is this: When I send mail from the webserver (running as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to an inside address (same domain, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I get everything just fine. I can even use the from feature in the mail class to make the mail appear to come from a real (or not so real, I've tried [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it takes it just fine) address. However, when I send mail to an outside address, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED], it gets dropped somewhere. Unfortunately those running the mailserver are unable/unwilling to help me track this down, so I've got to come to you guys with limited information and hope you have an answer.

Re: [PHP] Mail() Problems in a heterogenous network
Sounds like they have relay disabled on their SMTP server and the IP that your PHP is running on is not on an included network address. As them to verify that your ip address is ok. The mail server will accept locally destined mail but anything else is seen as a relay attempt (Spam) and blocked. In most cases ISPs and admins reject with complaint (which would help considerably in your case), in others they reject transparently by routing to /dev/null.

I bet you find some additional headers like: From: and Reply To: that are being stripped by the mail server. Can you load sendmail or qmail on your UNIX box and bypass them. You don't have to handle incoming email, and you don't want the machine listening on port 25, but you may be able to have your own machine handle mail connections and bypass them entirely.

[PHP] mail problems in windows2000
Hello everyone~
I'm a Korean(in ASIA) PHPer.
I have some problems with 'mail()' function in windows2000 and PHP4.0
first I met a error message like this
Warning: Failed to Connect in d:\apache\htdocs\mail2.php on line 3
OOps ~ so I installed my SMTP services then configured my PHP.ini file like this
[mail function]
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is
'sendmail -t -i')
then I retried mail function.
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
but this time I met an another error message ~!
Warning: Server Error in d:\apache\htdocs/test/test.php on line 3
OOPs ~! I'm very sorry about this.
Does anyone have a clear answer ?
[PHP] Mail problems
Hello I am doing a job for a client who has a host that just installed php4 on a WinNT system. He can not get the mail program to work properly. The server that php is on and the mail server are different computers. He, the host, asked me to try and by-pass the the mail utility and send directly to the mail server. He gave me the ip address. Is it possible? If so how?
