Re: [PHP] Mail From option in PHP.ini
From the php website, it appears that the [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be put in the fifth parameter of the mail() function: Example 3. Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional command line parameter. mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], the subject, $message, From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]); Note: This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. Since PHP 4.2.3 this parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will expose a warning message and return FALSE if you're trying to use it. I followed this recent thread with some interest, because I'd like to be able to set the return-path header for a script that emails to a large list, which would in turn allow me to identify bounced emails. I'm using a shared host server, with PHP running as the master account user name, so the return-path for emails is something like Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I had accepted that I could not change the return-path value with PHP, but reading about this fifth parameter renewed my hope that I could. I tried adding a fifth parameter to mail() in order to do this, like so: // fifth mail() parameter to set envelope sender $cmd_line_param = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; mail($fullname$email, $subject, $message, $headers, $cmd_line_param); This didn't change the return-path header. Perhaps the problem is that I have no idea what the syntax of the command line parameter is (what the -f does). Can anyone advise? Is it possible to use this fifth parameter to set the return-path header, and if so, what's the syntax?

Is it possible to use this fifth parameter to set the return-path header, and if so, what's the syntax? Also, the 5th paramater is disabled in safe_mode, check that also if the above doesn't work.

the sendmail_path in php.ini is to do with where abouts the sendmail program is located, not where your sending mail from... if you define the extra headers in the mail, such as FROM and REPLY-TO, you shouldn't have any problems. basically, it's just like fake-mail, and your recipient should be none-the-wiser unless he really wants to sift through the headers. - Original Message - From: Brian S.

RE: [PHP] Mail From option in PHP.ini
It's not the recipient that is the problem. The extra headers work fine for that. It's the delivery and read notifications (recipient's mail server). The From header that is generated by sendmail itself is where I'm getting the problem. If I specify the -f option in the sendmail_path it fixes the problem. Just specifying a From header works for the recipients e-mail client, but it doesn't work for their server...I also tried Content-Disposition-To, Return-Path and a few others.

Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional command line parameter. mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], the subject, $message, From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]); Note: This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5.

Re: [PHP] MAIL FROM NO ONE
Vins, Yes, talk to port 25 of any smtp server using php. You would need to implement the full RFCs on smtp and its re-inventing the wheel. There are already classes to talk to whichever smtp server you want. Whichever smtp server you sent the mail to would log it, and the server it came from. Competent smtp servers will want to do both forward and reverse dns lookups on the computer connecting to it, and that is if it was an open relay (allowing anything to connect). So you would hide the originating computer in the chain in the email headers, but still leave a full audit trail in the next computer's logs. The only reason I can think of for wanting to do this is to send spam. Its the fastest way for your isp to kick you off that I know of (faster than not paying the bill). Its a Bad Idea (tm).

The mail() does exactly the same Nothing fancy about it. I've managed to say the email has come from a server that doesn't exist but the email can still be traced... Care to show the headers? I'm just curious as to how the messages are actually produced. You have to keep in mind, that by doing something like this, the chances are really good that the majority of your email will NOT be delivered to its final destinations. Allot of SMTP servers does quite a bit of sanity checking on the headers received from an email message. They must, for example, include proper Received By (which is what is used for tracking the email), To:, From:, BCC:, etc headers. Without these, or with malformed headers, many SMTP servers will reject and bounce the email. You'll need to be *very* carefull in doing something like this. If you don't understand in very much details how SMTP works, and how SMTP servers delivers email, I'd suggest you do not attempt to tamper with it. is there know way to build a php smtp server ? PHP can't run a script in a daemon that I am aware of, so the short awnser is definately no. If you want a PHP script to simply send a message to a SMTP server, then sure, there is the mail() function, or you can open a socket to port 25 of the mail server. However, as I stated above, if you do not include proper headers (which identifies the email and make the email trackable), most SMTP servers will immediately reject the email. -- me -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Not in the west. They are too busy allowing in the commercial spam they
are sending themselves. Otherwise you'd never be reading mail from a
server called Lena.tut, as you are right now. And thank god they are
not, since our ISP as a *lousy* SMTP service and I have to resort to
this to make sure I can keep on working.
What I do not understand is why you would need to build anything to bomb
the guy. Just make sure you get an ISP that cannot track the phisical
call (here many are still on protostoric pulse stations, you can find
that somewhere at your place too, pretty sure).
Then invent yourself a server name and run straight from sendmail, over.
All you need is a temporary account from a dial-up. You are not
robbing a bank, so nobody will look for you (your abuse.somewhere.co.za
will say they never knew anybody, just like they said from norway and
they will keep on drinking their beers).
Personally I would not be cruel to anyone that has been already that
mistreated by Mother Nature. Let him live with himself, it's the worst
you can do to him. We got rid of Erik, but he never will :) *that* makes
me happy.
