Why does this send emails?
$from_admin = $_POST[EMAIL];
$message_admin = 'some html...';
mail($to_admin,"subject",$message_admin,"FROM:$from_admin");
This email looks like it came from my gmail account.
While this doesn't send the email.
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'To:' . $to . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Registration <register#myserver.org>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
When I contacted my hosting support, they said that I need to do SMTP authentication. But, then why does the first mail function work? I would be ok if its not actually using that server, but people can reply the the html email and still reach the correct account. Is there any way around this?

How we can a Send a email using PHP mail function to gmail archive mail folder?
My code
$to = "myemail#gmail.com";
$subject = "Subject" ;
$message = 'Example message with <b>html</b>';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: xxx <xxx>' . "\r\n";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
Note:
Smile email/mail function is fully functional but I want to send mail to gmail archive folder directly.Is there any way to do that?
It depends on the recipient's e-mail settings, you can't do that on the sender side.
i am having a issue with sending emails with cronjobs.
actually i need to send email to all the recently joined users
and so the emails are something like $to='acx1#xyz.com,acx2#xyz.com,acx3#xyz.com';
here i need to send the mail to all the receipts but not to let them know that i have sent this mail to all these persons in receipt basically BCC them
but the problem is that if i put the $to into BCC then what should i put in to function of mail
if to is empty then it may be spamed
i want to send this mail to all the receipts but when they check the headers they should see their email only
and one more issue please let me know if i am using correct headers ?
because sometimes my email is spammed by gmail
$from='tests.com';
$to='contact#test.com';
$message="<body> some html data with inline css </body>"
$subject="Hii this is test";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'."\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from <contact#test.com>" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: contact#test.com" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'BCC: acx1#xyz.com,acx2#xyz.com,acx3#xyz.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Im trying to remember a trick i was taught a while back but can not.
Basically, im using PHP mail() in this fashion:
$to = "emailAddress1#domain.com";
$subject = "Welcome to BuildSanctuary";
$messageContent = "Thankyou for registering Bla bla bla";
$message = 'SOME HTML EMAIL STUFF including the $messageContent var';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To:' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Accounts<accounts#domain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: emailAddress1#domain.com,emailAddress2#domain.com,emailAddress3#domain.com,emailAddress4#domain.com' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I got told a while back that there was a way that you could put your own email in the to field, but when the users receive the emails it looks like they were personally sent the email and the to field shows just their email.
Is this possible? Cant think how.
Thanks.
I forgot how I set it. I have two websites and I send the e-mail through my second site. Here's my /etc/exim4/passwd.client file:
*.google.com:noreplyn#firstsite.com:password
*.google.com:noreply#secondsite.com:password
I'm sending mail through PHP's mail() function with the following headers:
$headers = 'From: no-reply <noreply#secondsite.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: noreply#secondsite.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
But I am getting this header on my client's email:
from: no-reply firstsite.com
reply-to: secondsite.com
to: apathetic012#gmail.com
How do I properly set a custom outgoing e-mail address for exim?
PS: I'm using a smarthost (Google apps)
Set your envelope From.
mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $headers, '-f noreply#secondsite.com');
hay
i used this code
$to = "mial#live.com,mail#yahoo.com";
$subject = "Mini-mass Emailer";
$message = "<a href='#'>Hello World</a>";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <me#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: {$to}' . "\r\n";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo 'ok';
}
but see what is happend
every user see the full list of the users

Your call to mail is passing the $to as the to parameter meaning those emails will be be in the to header try passing an empty string instead. You are passing the info into the bcc header so the email should still get to them that way.
That is because you have put all the users in the "to" line. You are also passing them into the "bcc" line too so just doing this may help you but as far as I know you need at least one address in the to line (although this may not be the case). It'll look pretty strange for each person doing it that way though.
The best way to avoid these issues would be to send the email multiple times, once to each user. To modify your code example to do this, I'd do something like the following:
$toAddresses = array("mial#live.com", "mail#yahoo.com");
$subject = "Mini-mass Emailer";
$message = "<a href='#'>Hello World</a>";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <me#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
foreach ($toAddresses as $to) {
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "OK - sent message to {$to}";
}
}
The easiest way is to take this Mail-Class of phpguru.org:
http://www.phpguru.org/static/htmlMimeMail5
There you can specify with setBcc() the addresses which should be "blind", it's pretty easy and works well. I use this class in every project.
Best Regards.
