I have a problem with sending mail from PHP.
$to = 'admin#****';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#****' . "\r\n".
'Reply-To: webmaster#****' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)
When I run this simple example script, or basically any tutorial script, I get the following error from hMailServer 554 Rejected - Message containing bare lf's.
I know this is due to a setting in hMailServer, but I don't want to turn off the RFC compliance check, I want to send correctly formatted mails.
Can you help me figure out what's wrong?

I'm using iPage for my website, and I'm using a simple mail() method to send test mails from my page. On iPage, I have email capabilities via mark#domain.com. But when I send an email out, it comes from the iPage server and is sent from ipg.domain#boscustweb3506.eigbox.net, which is quite ugly looking!
Is there a way I can use the mail() method in php to send an email from my page that will use the shorter sender above? Thanks for any and all help!
you need to add a header named From. this code will send with the mail address webmaster#example.com:
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Try this, You can add the From header to customise the sender address.
$from ='mark#domain.com';
$headers = 'From: ' . $from . "\r\n";
...
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I am using below php code to send email after collecting user entered email ID (email-box) and content from a textarea(output_textarea) as message.
$to = $_REQUEST['email-box'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['output_textarea'];
$subject = 'form meta cli script';
$headers = 'From: info#mydomain.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: me#mydomain.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
But outlook is removing the line break and on top giving message "Extra Line breaks in this message were removed" How can I keep the line break in outlook?
I am having a problem sending emails when I add header information.
However when I just remove the header parameter it works. What is wrong? Is it the code? Or some setting I need to change on the web server admin panel to say "Allow-Headers" or something?
I am trying to send to hotmail in case this has any relavance in determining the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Below Doesn't Send Email:
<?php
$to = 'iputmyrealemailhere#hotmail.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Below Sends Email:
<?php
$to = 'iputmyrealemailhere#hotmail.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com';
mail($to, $subject, $message);
?>
I use these headers in my php mailing function and it works well. Note: I also use a third party mail-routing service to avoid having my mails marked as coming from a spammy IP. You might want to look into that also.
$headers = 'From: '.$from.'#foo.net' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$from.'#foo.net' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .
'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
I also use the optional fifth parameter to mail() to set the envelope address, e.g.:
$parameters = '-f '.$from.'#foo.net';
so the final call is:
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $parameters);
You can just delete the "FROM:" from the headers list .. it prevents it in some hosts .But the real question then will be how ca I change the sent from email address to a specific email that I want
Let me start by saying I do not have a lot of programming knowledge. I use a program called PHPRunner to generate most of the php that I do. It is mainly for small office stuff nothing fancy.
My question is:
I have a table that has 6 fields one of them called email. When I go into a record I wanted to put a button called "send notification" that would email the record details to the email address associated with that record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know it is probably out here on the web, possibly searching the wrong way.
You can use the mail function in php. Example from the provided link:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
For sending email using PHP, use mail() function
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Example:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$from = 'webmaster#example.com';
$headers = 'From: '.$from . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$from . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
I'm on a server that requires the errrors-to header to be set when using PHP mail() function. Popular applications such as Wordpress don't specify this header (at least not everywhere) - so the email isn't sent (instead I'm sent a message saying there was an error sending the email because it lacked the header). The server host says this is not something they can change for the system. I do not have access to the .ini file. Is there something I can do about it?
yes, by setting the mail-header you need with the normal mail()-function:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'errors-to: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
In wordpress, you can overload the wp_mail()-function to include that header.
