RE: [PHP] PHP sendmail configuration
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 > using the address either there or ur web server config file > > > -Original Message- > > From: Richard Baskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, 7 January 2003 10:49 AM > > To: PHP General > > Subject: [PHP] PHP sendmail configuration > > > > > > 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!

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

RE: [PHP] PHP/Sendmail interaction : how to get rid of wrong emails
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 HTH Regards Jon -- Jon Farmer տլ Systems Programmer, Entanet www.enta.net Tel +44 (0)1952 428969 Mob +44 (0)7968 524175 PGP Key available, send blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Sebastian Stadtlich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 August 2001 15:08 To: 'Php-General (E-Mail) Subject: [PHP] PHP/Sendmail interaction : how to get rid of wrong emails 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...

Yup, try qmail: www.qmail.org You need to adjust the setting in your php.ini as well.
