I have to agree on the code bloat. Unless your requirements are
extraordinary (which the OP's are), the native PHP mail() function is
generally quite adequate.

Never thought about creating a PHP email client. Interesting idea...

I'm sure I'm going to annoy people with this, but I would advise to 
never use PEAR. It's the biggest load of extremely badly coded PHP 
you'll ever find. Creating an SMTP client (with the purpose of just 
sending mail) is very easy to do yourself (and also a good challenge if 
you're not yet very skilled with PHP). Alternatively, you can indeed use 
a package such as PHPMailer; it's not perfect, and quite bloated for 
what you want probably, but it works rather well.

[PHP] Sending PHP mail with Authentication

[dealTek]

Hi All,

Semi newbie email question...

I have used the - mail() — Send mail php function to send email from a site.

now it seems the server is blocking this for safety because I should be using 
authentication

Q: mail() does not have authentication - correct?

Q: So I read from the link below that maybe I should use - PEAR Mail package 
 is this a good choice to send mail with authentication?

...any suggestions for basic sending email with authentication (setup info and

More then likely your php/apache process does not know where sendmail is or
does not have permission to use it.

Check in your php.ini file and see what is set as the sendmail_path

Mine is set like this:

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t

;sendmail_path =

As a standard user on my linux box I get this

[jlucas@jim ~]$ which sendmail

Ji Jim,

in the mamp php.ini file I had set like the demo to:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = localhost - these commented out as described
;smtp_port = 25 - these commented out as described

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = m...@example.com

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

sendmail_path =/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f  m...@site.com



From your terminal, you will need to verify that /usr/sbin/sendmail 
exists and can be called by your apache/php user.






First off, make sure that sendmail is installed and functioning.


I am not using sendmail that I know of. I didn't install anything -
just the basic NON PRO MAMP

Also I did not install postfix.

and I am using the basic php function mail()



You could get around using the mail function completely and use 
phpmailer or SwiftMail.  They would allow you to talk directly to an 
outside SMTP server.  In most cases, unless your web server happens to 
serve as your mail server, you would want to relay your message(s) 
through your official mail server.

You can do a debug_print_backtrace()[1] call right after the call
to mail(), or you can use a profiler like Xdebug[2].  You can also
check the Apache error log to see if anything popped up.  It'll be
more helpful if you have error_reporting set to E_ALL, mind you.  If
you just want to see if mail() is encountering any errors itself, wrap

I modified the php.ini in both the apache/bin directory, and also the php

Is there some way to get a trace of the code execution?  The SMTP log files
are completely worthless.  They do not show any sort of connection attempt.

[PHP] mail() function on Windows (WAMP Server)

[David Armstrong]

I'm in the process of helping some developers port their php application
from Linux to Windows (I know, string me up from the flag pole later).  I
have setup WAMP and everything is working fine with the exception of the
mail() function.  The code was originally developed on Linux and leveraged
sendmail for the mail() function.

What can I do to allow the php code to send mail from Windows?  I have
already tried installing the IIS SMTP service and that has not worked so
far.  The Windows box is Server 2008 R2 Standard, so IIS is 7.5 with the IIS
6.0 SMTP component.

Use the under-appreciated fifth paramter in mail() to pass the -f

Sounds like a solution to me: connect to port 25 on the mail server
instead of going through sendmail. Plenty of good mail libraries out
there (swiftmailer, phpmailer come to mind).

[PHP] php mail() and sendmail/smtp

[Michael Crowl]

Okay, I know this is a Sendmail/SMTP admin issue, but it's PHP-related 
and I figured someone here might have a clue or might have solved this 
issue before.  I've come into this dev server after many hands have 
touched it, and I'm not quite sure how to proceed, nor am I a Linux genius.


We're using localhost on this in-house CentOS server for mail() with 
sendmail_path, sendmail_from, etc. set properly.  I can get test emails 
sent to me using mail(), but my client can't get any script emails on 
their domain's mail server, which is on hostmonster.


The daemon response emails are stuck in the queue as deferred - and what 
I've found through logs is that they're being rejected by the client's 
mail server because SMTP is sending it FROM 
"", even though that should be overridden 
when using mail() and our ini settings and headers.  So that's a 
compound address of the apache account and 'new-host' which was 
apparently the machine name that was never changed in the beginning.


My mail server apparently doesn't care that it can't do a reverse lookup 
on that non-existent subdomain and account, but the client's does.  
Also, we have Redmine running on the same server, and it sends admin 
emails out just fine - however, I don't think it calls sendmail directly 
like our PHP install, but connects directly to the local SMTP server.


And I have tested a local telnet session to SMTP a mail manually, and 
that got through fine.  So it seems to be how PHP is calling Sendmail, 
or Sendmail itself.


Sendmail is being called as "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" in the ini.

Possible solutions?  I'm a little frazzled and a little undereducated here.

Re: [PHP] mail() + localhost

[Shreyas Agasthya]

Not sure where I am top-posting. I posted to my own mail so that one gets to
know the latest. Nevertheless, I wouldn't go against the guidelines as I
completely understand the havoc that it can create.

The port is 587 as per Google; SMTP that I am using
is Google's (anything wrong here?). If there is a rudimentary mistake that I
am doing, please guide me.

(Quick note: per the list guidelines, please don't top-post in threads.)

That error message is because you're trying to connect to an SMTPS
(secure, SSL-encrypted SMTP) server using plain text, which won't
work.  If you have a plain SMTP server running, try that to get one
thing resolved at a time.  Change the port to 25 in your php.ini (and,
again, restart Apache) if plain SMTP is available on the default port.

In a browser, check the output of phpinfo() - specifically, the
value for "Loaded Configuration File" - and modify that, as the other
may be for the PHP CLI, another installed component using a local
override, or may not even be used at all.

Uncomment the two lines above.

You don't *need* to uncomment and set the `sendmail_from` option,
as long as you set an explicit `From` header in your code.  More on
that after your snippet.

Your code should be modified just a bit for better conformance and
portability, but I understand that you're just using it as a test.

[PHP] mail() + localhost

[Shreyas Agasthya]

PHP'ers,

I am sure this would have been asked a zillion times but I take this as my
turn to get some help. I hate to ask such rhetorical questions but quite
couldn't understand how to tweak this.

All I am trying to do is send a mail from my localhost to my Gmail ID. I
read stuff about how the SMTP port should be accessible; should be open et
al. My set-up is very simple:

1. Using Easy PHP.
2. Windows XP

Also, when the comment says that you need to 'configure' your php.ini, which
.ini should I modify? The reason being, I see that file in two locations,
apparently.
(i) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\apache
(ii) C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\conf_files


*My php.ini (will remove the semi-colon)*
*
*
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = localhost

I can only guess that PHP somehow isn't seeing the sendmail program for
some reason. Have you compared the output of a phpinfo() call on this
system and another where it is working to see if there are any obvious
differences in the server setups?

Don't turn it off, set it for Permissive mode. It will both allow the
connection and log why it wouldn't allow it in normal operation. Then
you can review the logs and make the necessary adjustments.

The first ini_set variable you're setting I believe will only work for a
Windows server.

Aside from that, yes SELinux does prevent the mail command from sending
mail by default. I'm using Fedora 11, so I assume it will be similar;
there are config tools for setting SELinux policies, or you could even
turn it off (not advised on a live server). As a test, try turning it
off temporarily just to see if it is the culprit, then you can determine
what policy changes need to be made.

The first ini_set variable you're setting I believe will only work for a
Windows server.

Aside from that, yes SELinux does prevent the mail command from sending
mail by default. I'm using Fedora 11, so I assume it will be similar;
there are config tools for setting SELinux policies, or you could even
turn it off (not advised on a live server). As a test, try turning it

[PHP] mail command failing

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

I'm very puzzled by this.  I've been using the php mail command for 
years but now I can't get it to work and can't figure out how to 
diagnose the problem.


The code below was copied from the manual (addresses changed, etc); 
php.ini has safe_mode off; binary is at /usr/sbin/sendmail.


\r\n"; //optional headerfields

$echo = mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $header) ? 'success':'fail';
echo "$echo";

I can access the mail server with "/usr/bin/mailx" and by telnet 
"localhost 25".  I can also send mail using php by using 'exec (" echo 
$body | mailx -s $subject $recipient")'.


php-5.2.29 on fedora10 with apache 2.2.14.  Can this be selinux related?

Any ideas or troubleshooting tips?

As the time of writing this, I have installed the missing Net_SMTP pear package 
unto my Linux box. I have just tested it, and I have received two email 
messages to the desired mailbox, without having to install a mail server. 
Thanks for your help.

I really appreciate this.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Using PEAR Issues

[Ken Guest]

you have to install the net_smtp package, simply with this command:
$ pear install net_smtp-1.4.2  (which will explicitly install version
1.4.2 of Net_SMTP)

If that doesn't work. for whatever reason, you could download the
package manually from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP/download
and install it by hand; though for reasons I've outlined in a previous
post to this list I'd suggest you use the pear installer.

Well, hold it. I have edited my code to hold the information as we have 
discussed earlier, and this is the error I have now:

Warning:  include_once(Net/SMTP.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open 
stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 348



Warning:  include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Net/SMTP.php' for 
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on 
line 348



Fatal error:  Class 'Net_SMTP' not found in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on 
line 349

I am not sure what this means. If I have installed pear correctly, what else do 
I have to do here? I can see that I have some "significant" error messages than 
not getting anything at all. 

Thanks for your help.

Yes, the example you provide is the right direction - you can put in
the smtp details you use to connect from Evolution to GMail, you don't
need to setup a separate smtp server on your system.

I saw something like that on 
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm,
 and this is probably what you are talking about?

 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
 'auth' => true,
 'username' => $username,
 'password' => $password));
Do I still need to install a mail server? I have Evolution Mail on my Linux 
box, and looks like that is a client and not a server. 
Or, can I use any of the mail smtp setup, like Google? Or, do use some 
authentication information from 
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, since I use 
U-Verse at home?

Read the PEAR documentation:

You can use other backends than just 'mail' - try using the smtp and
fill in your smtp settings as needed.

The PEAR Mail package does not fall back from one mechanism to another
if the first fails.

So did you try using the 'smtp' backend and passing all the connection

Evolution is a mail client, not a mail server. Apart from that, you're
using the 'mail' (PHPs mail function) as the backend mailer in your
PEAR script - try using smtp instead and pass the SMTP config data you
normally use. Have a look at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php - the smtp
part.

Peter

If you've got Pear on Ubuntu, can Pear not default to sendmail if no SMTP 
connection is set up?


Well, from my experience with Ubuntu, looks like that it does not do that. 
Unless, I am doing it wrong?

Evolution is a mail client, not a mail server. Apart from that, you're
using the 'mail' (PHPs mail function) as the backend mailer in your
PEAR script - try using smtp instead and pass the SMTP config data you
normally use. Have a look at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php - the smtp
part.

If you've got Pear on Ubuntu, can Pear not default to sendmail if no SMTP 
connection is set up?


Well, from my experience with Ubuntu, looks like that it does not do that. 
Unless, I am doing it wrong?

through Ubuntu yesterday. Here is the link: 
http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/ It asks me to put in the type of mail 
service I used, it grabbed Google, which is smtp.google.com. I still cannot

You might, depending on if you need to use the Mail_Mime or Mail_Queue
packages also (for sending emails with attachments etc etc or for
sending mails in bulk).
 Also there's some rather nice new functionality in the more recent
versions of Mail and Net_SMTP that enable you to log the ESMTP Id of
mails you have submitted to a mail server (along with the SMTP
greeting sent by that server when you connect to it).

When some bug is fixed or dependencies of some of those PEAR packages
change I think you'll find your attitude towards that will change -
there's a pear installer so you don't have to update and track the
dependencies by hand - you do regularly update your packages don't
you? It's smart to do so because at the very least you don't have to
implement work-arounds for bugs that have been fixed in later versions
of those packages - and in the worst-case scenario it means you're not
using versions that have PEAR Security Advisories issued against them.

I believe it's possible to have seperate pear config files per project
so you're not limited to having to use the same versions of packages
across all projects.

If you're using more than a handful of PEAR packages in your project
you might want to write your own meta-package for the project; that
way you don't have to install all those packages individually;
you just do something like "$pear install myProject.xml" and the pear
installer will download and install whichever pear packages you have
described in your xml file.

Details on doing this are at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.users.dependencytracking.php

For the record, this is the example script that I submitted to
http://www.web-development-blog.com/archives/php-mail-scripts-using-smtp-transport-a-guide-for-beginners/
for demonstrating how to use the PEAR packages for sending a mail with
a file attached.:

“;
$to = “Barney Rubble “;
$subject = “Mail Subject”;
$message = “this is the text of the mail, sent using PEAR’s Mail packages.”;
$host = “smtp.example.com”;
$port = “25″;
$headers = array (‘From’ => $from, ‘To’ => $to, ‘Subject’ => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory(’smtp’, array (‘host’ => $host, ‘port’ => $port));
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime->setTxtBody($message);
$mime->addAttachment(“/home/ken/logo.png”, ‘image/png’);
$body = $mime->get();
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $mime->headers($headers), $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo($mail->getMessage() . “!\n”);
} else {
echo(“Message successfully sent to $to!\n”);
echo “Queued As (ESMTP Id): “, $smtp->queued_as, “\n”;
echo “Greeting From Mailserver: “, $smtp->greeting, “\n”;
}

?>

Alice, I never use the PEAR install from my distro, I always download
and install PEAR into my working folder. The benefit of doing it this
way is so that when you move your project to a different server, nothing
will break and you don't have to change anything.

Sometimes when I create a new project, I'll just copy the PEAR folder
from an older project to the new one. The only thing you may have to
change in your PHP code is the path to the PEAR libs only if you don't
put them in the same place every time.

Blessings,
David M.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Using PEAR Issues

[Peter Lind]

Most, if not all, mail servers keep log files. You should look for the
log files to see if the mail server has sent your mail properly or is
experiencing problems (those may not feed back into PHP).

Well, it's a Good Thing(tm) to know what those settings are.
Have they changed since your last thread?

Is there any need for this line if you are using the Errors-to:  ?
Maybe take it out and see what Errors-to gives you without it.

Hi, 

Here is the revised version, and I don't think I have experienced any changes 
in terms of the output on the screen. Plus, I still get no email. 

' . "\r\n";

$mail ->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo "" . $mail->getMessage() . 
"";

else {

   echo "Message successfully sent!  

   Thank You For Contacting Us

   Here is what you have input:

   Your Name is " . $your_name .

   You contacted us because you have a " . 
$question . "

   Here are your comments: " . $comments . 
"

 Have a Nice Day!";

  } 


I have made sure that my $from and $to addresses are different, Could there be 
anything else wrong here? I have not edited anything in php.ini regarding this

Also:

  Which I suggested on your previous thread.  Also, I see you have
$from set to equal "localhost".  Many SMTP servers will reject this
I *think*, because "localhost" is a hostname, not a working mailbox.
Try making $from equal to a real working address - possibly the same
one as your "Errors-to:" header..

That looks to do what you need. I don't really know of any specific
other examples as it's been a while since I've used Windows for anything
now. The link you gave did say it was free though, so you don't really
have anything to lose by installing it.

This is what I am talking about. 
Two years ago when I first set up my own server with Linux and not Windows, I 
never had to deal with this. 
Perhaps the authentication has since then got stricter, but it should not be so 
much of a heck of a deal. 

I found this doc from ATT's website, 
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the 
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date. 

I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is there. 
Thanks.

Linux installations come with sendmail which allows you to send email directly. 
Windows doesn't have this as part of the base setup, but I believe if you can 
install a local mail server then this should fix the issue.

Something like http://www.hmailserver.com/? I use AT&T, why is it that I use 
their SMTP server and my From address in PHP.ini file didn't work?

Linux installations come with sendmail which allows you to send email
directly. Windows doesn't have this as part of the base setup, but I
believe if you can install a local mail server then this should fix the
issue.

Hey Alice,
Try throwing the MIME in. Sometimes messages get thrown in an abyss  
if they don't know the MIME version or content type of an email.
They think its spam and so you wouldn't get an error message on your  
end. Just no email.


$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";

I tried installing the Pear Mail package, it is now located in php/PEAR/Mail, 
and my code is located in the htdocs. Here is the code:

require_once("Mail.php");
$mail = Mail::factory("mail");

$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

if($_POST['submit']=="Submit") {
$from = "elite.engl...@att.net";
$to =  $email;
$subject = "Comments Regarding HH Web Design Studio";
$body = "From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n 
Comments:\n $comments";

$host = "smtp.att.yahoo.com";
$username = "my_user_name";
$password = "password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$mail->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo "" . $mail->getMessage() . "";

This is what I get: 

Fatal error:  Class 'Mail' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\Alice.Wei\web\mail.php
 on line 30

Do I need to move the Mail PEAR class to the same folder as my web folder? How 
can I make sure that my Pear is running?
Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function Problem

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Hi Alice,
I have a sendmail script I wrote on my way to learning PHP.
Uses PHP 4 i believe, maybe 5. Wrote it a while ago.
You and anyone else are welcome to use it/modify.

You can reference this php it from multiple forms.
Just specify the form names it should accept and their parameters.
It can also send HTML results with a little modification.

It isn't necessarily set up for mass emailing, but with a little  
tweaking, I am sure you could get it to work.
You can separate the emails with comas "," currently and it will send  
to all of them, but if they are in the TO:,

everyone will see everyones email address.
Might set it up to send to your email in the TO: and use the BCC: to  
send to your users.

If you do convert it, mind sharing back?? :))

HTH,

I will say "mea culpa" on this one; apparently I didn't
dig deep enough into the PEAR docs to figure this out.
It's certainly not mentioned on the manpage at php.net,
but, of course, the PEAR stuff is elsewhere.  I read over
the first page linked from the PHP manpage, so it must
nks ve been a lil' deeper than that.  If it's only available
at about.com (lol), I'd suggest filing a PR with the PEAR
folk's documentation team, eh?

But, this time I'll do what I shoulda mentioned before and

things PHP, and some things SMTP.

RE: [PHP] Mail Function Problem

[Alice Wei]

Hi, 

 Thanks to everyone's suggestions, I have followed some instructions from 
http://www.geeksengine.com/article/install-pear-on-windows.html and attempted 
to install PEAR. The problem is, when I do a test page, which only has:

. utor

It only gives me a blank page, with no errors. Has anyone who succeeded with 
using PEAR on PHP can guide me on a good tutorial to read?

Thanks for your help.

PEAR's mail package does support authentication.
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm

In case you get a "Sent Successfully" message (but didn't get a mail
in your inbox or spam folder) there is a problem with your SMTP server
configuration. And

There's no need to edit anything in php.ini, and, since it is pure PHP,
it should work on Windows too, though I didn't try it. It works well on
Linux. Here's the class we used to send mail through Zend_Mail:

setFrom($config_general->getSiteMailAddress(),
$config_general->getSiteMailName());
$mail->addTo($to_mail, $to_name);
$mail->setSubject($subject);
$mail->setBodyText($body, "UTF-8");
$smtp_host =   $config_general->getMailSendHost();
$smtp_authentication = $config_general->getMailSendAuthentication
();
$smtp_user =   $config_general->getMailSendUsername();
$smtp_password =   $config_general->getMailSendPassword();
$smtp_security =   $config_general->getMailSendSecurity();
$smtp_port =   $config_general->getMailSendPort();
if ($smtp_host != "") {
  if ($smtp_authentication != "None") {
$config = array ('auth' => $smtp_authentication, 'username' =>
$smtp_user, 'password' => $smtp_password);
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }
  if ($smtp_security != "NONE") {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('ssl' =>
$smtp_security));
  }
  if ($smtp_port != "") {
$config = array_merge ($config, array ('port' => $smtp_port));
  }
  if (isset ($config)) {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host, $config);
  } else {
$mta = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($smtp_host);
  }
  $mail->send($mta);
} else {
  // If no smtp host is given, it uses the default sendmail mail
transport agent.
  $mail->send(); 
}
  }
}

?>

Hope it works,

Teus.

This is what I am talking about. 
Two years ago when I first set up my own server with Linux and not Windows, I 
never had to deal with this. 
Perhaps the authentication has since then got stricter, but it should not be so 
much of a heck of a deal. 

I found this doc from ATT's website, 
http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, so obviously the 
smtp server I provided earlier is probably not up to date. 

I think I will fiddle around with the php.ini file and see what else is there. 
Thanks.

Well, "therein lies the rub," as the Bard said (maybe).
PHP's mail() was built on a general assumption that
there would be a local SMTP server.  It supports remote
SMTP, but I'm not aware of any ability to do SMTP auth,
even in the PEAR packages.

You might just wanna read up on mail in general.  The
php.net/mail page lists several relevant RFC's, and
has links to most of the PEAR mail classes, etc.

You should definitely read up on live.com's email
configuration.  If they use SMTP auth, I'm not sure
you can do this (per above).  If it uses, say, "POP
before SMTP" for authorization, you might be able to
hack something together with the PHP IMAP functions, or
even sockets, but you're getting into a big lotta work
for what seems a small thing.

$from. I also added Kevin's lines with the parameters that April suggested, and 
it looks like I still get Sending Mail failed. Which function should I use to 
find out why my sending mail failed?

Along these lines: there's a chance that sending a mail from yourself,
to yourself, through PHP like this, will cause mail servers to think
it's spam. For testing email sending, normal scenarios are better
(i.e. send an email to another account).

a) use an external SMTP-class, you could take a look at PEAR (which
directly etablishes a connection to your gmail-account)
b) configure your mail-server/system that he delivers the mails via an
external SMTP_Server - there are several tutorials how to do that in the
inet

Re: [PHP] Mail Function In PHP

[Michael Kubler]

Having worked at a decent sized, respectable ISP with 100,000+ customers 
sending email via Iron Ports (email scanners), even they would get put 
on a blacklist on a monthly basis. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if 
Gmail's SMTP servers got put on a black list at some point.
There's seemingly hundreds of blacklists and whilst some play nice, 
others are very paranoid.
Usually the good email servers will detect your on a blacklist then rate 
limit the number of emails it'll accept from you. If you keep pissing it 
off, by sending emails to non-existant addresses (something they REALLY 
hate), sending emails that are too big, or simply sending too many 
emails or emails with too many recipients, then it'll tighten the 
restrictions. Over time if your good then those restrictions will be 
released and eventually you'll be able to send at normal rates.

Re: [PHP] Mail Function In PHP

[james . stojan]

Any volume of mail sent direct to mx records is a red flag for anti spammers 
and without an smtp spf dkim and rdns you are wasting your time. The logic is 
that only people sending spam would be sending direct to mx like that. Fair or 
not that is just how life works. Oh and most mail servers do check rdns spf 
etc. 

It is kind of pointless to send emails if they end up in the spam folder or 
worse don't get delivered at all. Do it right the first time use an smtp rdns 
and spf at the very least.

Contrary to popular belief, to send an email you do not need to have
your own SMTP server. All you need to know is the SMTP server
responsible for your recipients email.

This information is held as part of the domain registration details
and is known as the MX records (as I understand it).

PHP has a function called getmxrr() [1]. This allows you to supply a
domain name and get back the list of MX records suitable for handling
the SMTP mail.

This function wasn't available on Windows until recently, and I
created a userland version utilising Windows nslookup.exe program [2].

So, once you've got the list of SMTP servers for the domain you are
sending email to, you can use the ini_set('SMTP', 'xx'); function
to set the server to handle the mail() call you are about to make.

Upside : No local SMTP server - you are not responsible for
maintaining/administering/etc. any aspect of the SMTP process.
Upside : If the mail() call fails, you can try the other MX records (I
tend to sort the results based upon weight and try them in sequence).
If it fails all of them, you know straight away and can deal with it.
Upside : No relaying. No permission issues to worry about. You are
simply talking to the public SMTP servers just like any other SMTP
server or sender.

Downside : No queuing. Without a_LOCAL_ SMTP server, you can only
deal with sending email in real time.
Downside : One domain at a time. You cannot send email to
a...@domain1.com, b...@domain2.com_and_ c...@domain3.com in the 1 email.

None of these steps affect the use of mail() or a mail sending class
(phpmailer, RMail, html_mime_mail5, etc.).

Richard.

that the server will drop the mail if your script sending server is not

Once a domain or ip address was black listed, it was quite a process to
get it unlisted again, and even then as soon as mail came from that
domain, it got blacklisted again. Supposedly there is some certification
process that official smtp relays need to go through so as to prove or
certify that they won't allow spam to be sent through them, and take
steps to remove offenders from using their relay. However, this is all
guessing, and in the end we just gave up and used our ISP's official
relay. Teus.

If you control your DNS server setup and such, DKIM and authentication
technologies alikes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys) are the way to
go.

Also, make sure the reverse DNS lookup is pointing to the right place, i.e.
that the SMTP server domain name translates to an IP that translates back to
the same domain name when you do a reverse lookup.

Since this is really something more of a network arch. setup, you probably
will find more answers for that on ServerFault or the likes.

By having your local relay talk seductively to the remote server?

More sensibly though, I would assume that you could use some sort of

While the above is true, there is also another thing that comes into
play. We used to send email directly to the receiver the way described
above. But at times it happens that the receiving smtp server refuses to
accept mail from the sender since the sender is not known to be a good
smtp server, and at times it could get blacklisted. Rules like this get

Contrary to popular belief, to send an email you do not need to have
your own SMTP server. All you need to know is the SMTP server
responsible for your recipients email.

This information is held as part of the domain registration details
and is known as the MX records (as I understand it).

PHP has a function called getmxrr() [1]. This allows you to supply a
domain name and get back the list of MX records suitable for handling

created a userland version utilising Windows nslookup.exe program [2].

So, once you've got the list of SMTP servers for the domain you are
sending email to, you can use the ini_set('SMTP', 'xx'); function
to set the server to handle the mail() call you are about to make.

Upside : No local SMTP server - you are not responsible for
maintaining/administering/etc. any aspect of the SMTP process.
Upside : If the mail() call fails, you can try the other MX records (I
tend to sort the results based upon weight and try them in sequence).

Hello,

Read the manual page for the mail() function ...

http://www.php.net/mail

Mail() requires an operating SMTP server.  This can be set
in php.ini, and possibly via the ini_set() function.  These
might be worth looking into:

$config1=ini_set(sendmail_path,"/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i");
$config2=ini_set(SMTP,"localhost");
$config3=ini_set(smtp_port,25);

If you absolutely can't run an SMTP server or use a
remote server, you'd probably have to hack something
together with sockets or streams.

My $0.02,

Kevin Kinsey

It looks like using XAMPP wasn't strictly necessary. I tried running

it worked fine. So the key is to configure Sendmail as described at

Re: [PHP] php mail() function

[James Prentice]

After a long delay, I've finally got mail working. I had decided to
move on in the book that I'm working through (Head First PHP & MySQL)
but doubled back to address the mail issue again. This is how I
finally got it to work:

1. Switched to XAMPP for linux rather than using my existing versions
of mysql, php and apache.

2. Uninstalled Postfix and reinstalled Sendmail. Then I followed the
instructions here:

http://dbaron.org/linux/sendmail

I can't vouch that the method described at that link is completely
safe and secure, but it worked for me and was very easy. I've spent
many hours and days trying to get this to work so am very relieved.

My only complaint is that there is quite a long delay after submitting
report.html (from Ch. 1) while it says 'waiting for localhost...'. It
can take up to 20 seconds or so before sending and giving
confirmation.

Thanks for all your help.
