Re: [PHP] Re: Mail subject encoding breaks
Hello, on 05/11/2009 12:25 PM Thodoris said the following: This script seems to work ok in a freebsd development server I have but a linux production machine breaks the subject's encoding for some unexpected reason. The subject has a mix of English and Greek characters that FreeBSD seems to handle like a charm. Both machines have the same php version (5.2.9) and the scripts encoding is UTF-8. Iconv and mbstring are configured the same way in php.ini (although I am not aware whether phpmailer uses iconv or mbstring). Has anyone had a similar experience? Is it possible that sendmail (which is the underlying tool) breaks the mail encoding? I am not sure what you mean by breaking the mail encoding. I use the MIME message class and it works perfectly with any encoding, even multibyte character sets. Take a look at the examples test_email_message and test_multibyte_message.php . http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage I am not sure what is happening exactly but I think that for some reason the subject of the e-mail includes more than one encoding while using linux. The English part is encoded in ISO-8859-1 and the Greek part into something that I can't detect (probably because thunderbird doesn't support all encodings). The body of the message is UTF-8 as expected. I didn't try the suggested solution since I have solved this, but the original question was about phpmailer. I will give it a try however because it seems like a better solution and more robust than mail_utf8. -- Thodoris

Your best option is to switch to using a system that connects to the SMTP server on localhost directly. That way you can dump each message on to the local MTA quickly and then forget about it. I don't think this is correct, at least on my system. I know this because I deliberatly ban internal machines on my network from delivering mail to outside server (internal LAN cannot connect to port 25 on any system other than our gateway - this is to stop any windows machines that may sneak into my network from spamming the world!). When I test web apps locally I have to watch to override email addresses such that I don't try to sent to real people but when I forget, they all end up stuck in my local machine's MTA. So for that reason, mail() must speak to my MTA, not try to deliver directly. Perhaps it depends on your sendmail implementation? I prefer postfix (which has a sendmail compatible binary). YMMV. It depends a lot on how your machine is configured, but the way I described it is usually the way it works. Note that if sendmail cannot send the messages immediately it will pass it into the local mail queue and that's probably what's happening on your system because sendmail will find port 25 blocked. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Have a look at the Swift Mailer package:
http://www.swiftmailer.org/
I use it to send out well over 1000 mails at a time and it works quite
fine for me. Check out the anti-flood extension for sending large batches:
$swift = new Swift(new Swift_Connection_SMTP('localhost'), 'domain.org');
/* 100 mails per batch with a 30 second pause between batches
*/
$swift->attachPlugin(new Swift_Plugin_AntiFlood(100, 30), 'anti-flood');
/* list of recipients is an object wrapping an array
*/
$recipients = new Swift_RecipientList();
$recipients->addTo('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'foo bar');
/* headers
*/
$message = new Swift_Message('the subject');
$message->setCharset('utf-8');
$message->setReplyTo('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$message->setReturnPath('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$message->headers->set('Errors-To', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
/* multipart is a breeze
*/
$message->attach(new Swift_Message_Part($plain_content));
$message->attach(new Swift_Message_Part($html_content, 'text/html'));
/* if you're sending the mails from, eg. an admin page ...
*/
set_time_limit(0);
ignore_user_abort();
flush();
/* send it out
*/
$num_sent = $swift->batchSend($message, $recipients, new
Swift_Address('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'from'));
This really should be rolled into the PEAR project, IMO.

Return-path: and Reply-To: are definately different headers.
Return-path is NOT a normal header, and cannot be set through the 4th
PHP argument.
It can be set by the 5th argument. This feature was added in 4.0.5 --
and if you're using something older than that, you should upgrade
anyway. :-)
http://php.com/manual/en/function.mail.php
You want a valid Return-path: to help avoid spam filters, and to get
back error messages from MTA/MUAs that don't trust From and Reply-to.
Course, it's only a matter of time before Return-path is not trusted,
and some genius will come up with YAH (yet another header) that we'll
all have to cope with. :-v

Nope. The Reply-To header is for reply's. Bouncing of mail due to errors is
sendt to the adress set by the Return-Path header.

No counting, but I'm pretty sure there's more than a million ;p
Every php (wanna-be) dev creates a regexp for email-validation at some
point (or even more than one). So I'm pretty sure there's *tons* of them
(and that means billions, and probably more). Unless you want unique
regexps, which brings it down to quite a lot less ;p

RE: [PHP] Re: mail() function problem
What you need to do is set your SMTP server inside the php.ini file...
[mail function]
SMTP = smtp.server.com ; for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well ; (default is
sendmail -t)

It has benefit for u.
Even i made a group on yahoo "phplovers".

Re: [PHP] Re: Mail() question
You can also use ini_set or .htaccess to increase the max execution time for the PHP script. I have some reports that used to take 5 or 6 minutes to run and this worked well, note though that IE has a timeout where it will close the connection if the page has not finished loading within n seconds, you can increase it in the registry. Rather than waiting for mail() to complete for each e-mail you want to send an often recommended approach is writing the e-mail directly into the mail queue so your mail client picks it up when it runs. Take a look at the PEAR Mail class, it is easy to use and supports multiple backends (http://pear.php.net).

Does mail() return true? I mean, do you get printed "U redu je"? If so, your
email should've been sent by PHP.
You are really missing a bunch of headers. I'm not sure if this is your
problem, but I think it's not a bad idea to include more headers, also
because more and more ISP's add some kind of spamfilter which might drop
your email. So maybe by adding more headers, you can solve this.
I use this:
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";
$body = "Whatever is in your email";
$to = "Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$check_mail = mail($to, "Subject", $body, $headers);
When PHP sends an email to a non existing email address such as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], the warning mail you normally get returned often does not
arrive in your mailbox. Therefore I add two additional headers:
."Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
."Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
and now I do get the notification mail when mail bounces.

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() - how to attach file to the message???
You had an tag in your email, so I assumed you were trying to upload the file. If the file is not already on the server, you *will* have to upload it before emailing it. But that's a whole other matter. If you look at the classes and see how they attach a file, you should be able to figure it out. Basically, you need to set the correct headers (content-type) and attach an encoded version of the file in the body of the email. An easy way to see what you need it to send yourself an email with an attachment and look at the raw source of the email you receive. It should look a bit like this (with a whole lot more headers in it): From: "Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: FW: test Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="_=_NextPart_000_01C346F1.7A8C7496" This message is in MIME format.

You said previously that you had downloaded some classes which allowed you to send mail with attachments. But you don't want to use those classes and want to write your own, but you don't know how. 1) Why don't you want to use those ready made classes? Why re-invent the wheel? 2) OK fine, you don't want to use those classes, so just study them to see how it's done then off you go. 3) Also the subject of "how to attach file to email" has been discussed many times in the past, refer to archives for code. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* I can't understand why a person will take a year or two to write a novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars. -- Fred Allen */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Jason, I believe very much in the spirit of mailing lists and will never commit any undesirable activity.

The UI look very cluttered with the previous posts appearing along with newer posts (as part of same message).

It is true, I got this answer from an expert: "Unfortunately this will not work. SMTP relaying is disabled on all the Exchange connector servers and a standard Exchange mailbox server does not support SMTP. The only way that you can send SMTP email from within our company is to use the Internal MailSweeper. And to allow this we need the IP Address of the box that will be sending the messages so that we can include it in the authenticated list. We have to have things set up this way for Security reasons. One other thing I should have mentioned. Outlook uses mapi to send on the Exchange servers. So we can use the mapisend command but I do not know if your application would support this. I think that this may also need a valid Outlook profile to work." I don`t understand that either, because I am trying to use my Linux server (inside my companys network) to deliver mails to the exchange server via sendmail. If anyone knows more about this topic, let me know.sorry that this obviously does not belong to a php list, but I deleted the original email & could not find the email address of the author of this topic :( I wonder about his expertise. Authentication was meant for security reasons. Anyway, you do no not need to relay in the company SMTP server unless outside access is blocked in some firewall. If you are using Linux, you just need to use the mail() function because it just uses sendmail by default. If you still have problems, just use the classes that I mentioned enabling direct delivery mode in the SMTP sending attributes.

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() function & exchange
Hi, my company set their server up not to talk SMTP (disabled all --> that guy told me), and my tries to connect or talk to any of their Exchange servers failed :( so he must be true. Got onto their NT servers though ;) All the company uses Outlook & Exchange, & they use mapi to talk to each other. If a manager can`t be in the network, he`s connected via VPN & uses Outlook as well. They`ve got a trust relationship between their NT servers & the Exchange ones, & lots of domains joined. As I said, I don`t have a clue of Exchange so correct me if something sounds strange. To your suggestions: of course that would be easy for me to tell them to set up a new box for me. They`ll do that. But who likes the easy way ;)? No, just my curiosity, maybe someone knows how the protocol or whatever these M$ servers use is working & I could try to implement that. Would make my project more portable inside the company (They plan to use it on other sites as well), so they wouldn`t have problems with setting up separate Internal Mailsweepers everytime :). Can you tellme more about : > You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server. It > will relay the > mail to the appropriate mailbox server is that working even if SMTP is not enabled? The guy told me that SMTP is not enabled by default on Exchange servers and they didn`t change that! (that`s the reason for me to ask how that system works in the wholehow does outlook send the mail to the exchange server? Could it be that all the users just access something like a directory on the exchange server when starting their outlook (not a local program! & not working when the exchange server crashed ;)).

We are using a web-based application that sends email notifications through our internal Exchange servers. Now, they can be set up with SMTP turned off, or so that only certain other hosts can relay through them (send mail), and that might be what he's talking about when he says the "authenticated list". I believe it's simply a list of hosts that are allowed to relay through the Exchange SMTP server. You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server.

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() function & exchange
I totally agree with your first sentence *grin*. Anyways, I won`t be able to use your class because my server is kind of "locked" in their network, meaning I don`t have the possibility to connect outside, only to their servers (NT servers). And as Exchange servers don`t use SMTP (meaning the whole protocol is NOT used, so your classes won`t help me), I`m not able to send mails at all. Only like he offered me to put an extra box in the network which will relay the mails from my linux server. Does anyone know about the way exchange servers work, mapi and mapisend? The only thing I found was how to program that in VB (and being able to talk to Exchange servers), but it seems like this is not possible for my penguin :) (VB on Linux??? sounds stupid) I found in old archives of this mailinglist that some people asked this question before (how to implement a mail function for exchange servers in php) but no one knew it.

RE: [PHP] Re: mail() function
Not strictly true, the mail function will send to multiple email addresses
separated by a comma, you can also cc and bcc by using headers. See the
manual, which has some good examples of this.

The mail() function will only send one mail at a time, to send multiple
mails you would write a loop like this (presuming you had your mail
addresses ready in an array called $emails):
foreach ($emails as $email) {
mail($email, "your subject", "your message");
}

Hello friends,
Can the mail() function send emails to multiple addresses which are
formatted as follows :
[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc with a
comma or a semicolon between them?
Thanks

It is hard to tell before you describe your system. Is it Windows or Unix/Linux? What do you have configured in the php.ini file. Anyway, if you are using Windows, which is my guess, you need to send the message via an SMTP server. If you have it configured to send via a working SMTP server, you may be having one of many types problems that can only be cleared with the some information about that error. In that case, try using in the script of that class named test_smtp_message.php changing it to use your SMTP server and set the smtp_debug variable to 1 so you can see the dialog with the SMTP server.

As I explained, the class comes with a wrapper function named
smtp_mail() that emulates mail() function (but without the bugs). All
you need to do is to replace mail() calls by smtp_mail() calls including
smtp_mail.php where needed.
Even if you do not want to replace anything, you can still try the class
test scripts to see if it works for you. If it doesn't, it will provide
helpful error messages unlike the mail() function. Now it is up to you
if you want to progress in solving your problem.

What does the mail log say? Its usually /var/log/maillog. You say that
the email is not sent, but what error message do you get? I think we

Re: [PHP] Re: Mail() Not working right
Dear all, Sorry for my English...I am not a native speaker... I am experiencing the same problem with the mail function. I am using exactly the same test php script to test the PHP mail function. I have two RedHat linux boxes. In one box, the PHP mail function work and in the other one doesnt work. In both using sendmail command line work fine. I have checked the maillogs and I only can see any maillog in the one that PHP mail function works. In both I have set SMTP like localhost, sendmail_path=/usr/sbin/sendmail -t besides I have double checked the permissions for the nobody user to either execute the php script or the sendmail command. Could it be an issue of either the PHP version or the sendmail version? How could I use PHP logs or whatever tool to check what is going on?

Re: [PHP] Re: mail headers & filtering
Hi Chris They are having the problem receiving the mail sent by the script not sending. They go to my site and generate a form mailer using their email ad They upload it to their webserver Then they email me saying that they are testing the mailer out on their site and it seems to work but they never receive the email that it sends Always when I test the scripts (with my email ad) there is nothing wrong with it and I receive the mail So I don't know what to tell them apart from it must be filtering, nor do I know how to attempt to fix the problem. Maybe this problem of 'lost mail' is more noticeable to me because a few hundred a week use this generator so we are talking about running these scripts on a lot of different websites using a lot of different mailservers/mailboxes. >From now on when I get these complaints I will ask them for the name of the mailserver that sends the mail - maybe then I can get back to you for some tests.

I hate it too, but the complications of personalised email really do
outweigh the benefits, unless you're prepared for:
a) long development time
b) constantly hitting the "ceiling" of your code/server limits and having to
re-evaluate the code ("it worked for 1000, but now i have 3000", etc)
c) placing HUGE burdens on the server
Bulk mail in a personalised manner should be done with dedicated software
and a dedicated server... I think it's a little wishful to place such
burdens on a WEB server... especially one which is a shared server.
Even if the code does work, the sysadmin should shut it down to prevent the
massive performance hit you cause.
If you've got your own server(s), that's a different story... but then I'd
be using ezmlm or something like that.

I guess you are putting 500 emails in the Bcc field. I guess. I like to personalize outgoing mail. I has a script sending *lots* of email and I didn't think it through. My cohort had to clean up after me and he said that he just changed a parameter to sendmail to queue the mail, I *think* ... I haven't sent a lot of mail since then but I'll look at how I was using sendmail.

Eeks. I hate that. I hate email that does not indicate it knows who I am. Why is sending one email to one user so bad? I can't think of a reason that would trump the personalization that I like so much. But I'm all ears.

If it is not sending a message, maybe the mail() function is not enabled because configure could not find sendmail program in the path. In that case you will need to recompile PHP with sendmail in the path of the user that runs configure. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Erwin, sendmail on my local server does indeed reside in /usr/lib/sendmail although phpinfo shows sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i it still sends the mail? Why is this the case and would you suggest anything to enable me to get my mail working with my isp. I do not have direct access to php.ini with my isp.

RE: [PHP] Re: Mail problem
I actually had to set the SMTP setting to localhost on our solaris boxes to get this to work.

Yes, that is correct. Did you check for existence of /usr/sbin/sendmail? Sendmail often resides in /usr/lib/sendmail, so you could check that. Try file_exists, or open a pipe with popen.

I don't think this would stop emails from being sent.
There are two ways to change the From header:
- Use the function ini_set("sendmail_from", "" );
- Use "From: " as the fourth argument to your mail call

RE: [PHP] Re: Mail problem
Manuel,
My development platform is linux 7.2 and php4.0.6. The production server is
also linux (I think 7.2) but the php version 4.1.1.
On your second point, do you mean I should say something like this -
header("Location: http://ccmltdcouk.site.securepod.com/test.php";)
This is our temporary domain name. I hope this helps.
