I am sending SMTP email from my PHP website, using SendGrid SMTP mail service. Everything works fine, but when I send large amounts (5,000), it takes a long time to load/send, then tries to restart over and over again, and doubles, triples,.... I just sent 30,000 emails by mistake! I need a way to see the mail que and delete them or stop the process when it does this.
How can I see the que of emails to be sent out? Or cancel them from being sent out?
Maybe through Pearl Mail?
Here is my code
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = $thom5;
$to = $allemailsever1.','.$thom5;
$subject = $_POST['subject1'];
$html = "
<html><body>
<p></p>
$thom
</body></html>
";
$host = "smtp.sendgrid.net";
$port = "587";
$username5 = "";
$password5 = "";
$mime = '1.0';
$content = 'text/html';
$charset="ISO-8859-1";
$three = 'Receipients <'.$thom5.'>';
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $three,
'Subject' => $subject,
'Mime-version' => $mime,
'Content-Type' => $content,
'charset' => $charset);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username5,
'password' => $password5));
// Send notification //
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $html);
Sounds like your local script is having trouble managing the number of mails you are trying to send. You should implement a local queue, and since you are using PHP, a simple option is the Mail_Queue PEAR package
Use the Events API and check to see that each message is processed. http://docs.sendgrid.com/documentation/api/event-api/

I'm a bit stuck here. I have some websites hosted on TSOHosts. I use the php mail() function to send the occassional email, e.g. from a contact form.
The emails have stopped working, and nobody at the hosting provider seems to be capable of fixing it.
They say I should use SMTP emails. OK, I get that, they point me to this article on how to do it:
https://www.lifewire.com/send-email-from-php-script-using-smtp-authentication-and-ssl-1171197
So I write the script (below) and, it doesnt work:
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "NoReply#mysite.org.uk";
$to = "me#myemailaddress.co.uk";
$subject = "Hi port 465";
$body = "Hello World";
$host = "ssl://mail3.gridhost.co.uk";
$port = "465";
$username = "username#mysite.org.uk;
$password = "Testing123";
$headers = array (
'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail))
{
echo "<p>".$mail->getMessage()."</p>";
}
else
{
echo"<p>Message successfully sent!</p>";
}
I also have a port 25, non-ssl script, that also doesnt work.
When I say doesnt work, its not throwing an error, just no email arrives (checked in spam).
The hosting company first asked me where the Mail.php is as referred to by the require_once "Mail.php" line
The article suggests that this should be installed on php4+ (Im using 5.6.37)
This is remarkably similar to this article:
smtp configuration for php mail
But I am stummped as to how to proceed.
I am using pear to send SMTP mail with HTML format, everything was fine, but in the last report you make, the report goes wrong formatted and the reason is because the HTML adds an exclamation mark (!) In random parts and when it falls by means of a label or style moves everything. If someone can give me a hand.
function sendEmail($parameters) {
require_once "Mail.php";
print_r($parameters['emailBody']);
$from = "XXXXXXXXXX";
$to = $parameters['emailAddress'];
$subject = $parameters['reportName'];
$host = "XXXXXX";
$port = "XXXX";
$headers = array('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject,
'Content-type' => 'text/html; charset=utf8');
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => false));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $parameters['emailBody']);
}
<td>!</td>
Well after searching a bit, I found that HTML was not formatted, missing lines changes and apparently when this all in one line, is poorly formatted and interpreted otherwise.
Thanks for your time.
I'm working on a script that will send text messages via email (i.e. ####txt.att.net) and PHP's simple mail() function was not working. I could send email messages just fine through that method, but the texts were not being delivered. I did more research and found that carriers often block messages without a sender and using PEAR with SMTP is a better solution.
However, the following code works to send emails but is still not delivering AT&T text messages:
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "XXX <XXX>";
$to = "XXX <XXX#txt.att.net>";
$subject = "Test email using PHP SMTP\r\n\r\n";
$body = "This is a test email message";
$host = "XXX";
$port = "26";
$username = "XXX";
$password = "XXX";
$headers = array (
'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array (
'host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
?>
Is it maybe an issue with headers not being formatted correctly, etc? Any ideas?
According to their example you do not need the new lines after the subject:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php
Check the AT&T response they might decline it if they have you blacklisted or you do not have a valid rDNS or other reasons.
They seem to experience a problem seeing the rDNS records of some IP's.
Use this it will tell you all the info you need.

Post the log of it here.
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "<niko#gmail.com>";
$to = "<niko#hotmail.com>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "465";
$username = "<niko#gmail.com>";
$password = "somepassworrd";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,'To' => $to,'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => $host,'port' => $port,'auth' =>true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail))
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
else
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
?>

How do I send an email Using the php script?
Can we send an email without using authentication in PHP ? Because vb.net uses server authentication but most of the code i found on google is without authentication for php. so I got a doubt
Finally please help me with these trying from an 2 hours or so!
The PHP mail() function is for sending mail via Sendmail. If you want to use some SMTP server, you can use Zend_Mail which makes this thing very easy:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.mail.html
Using Zend_Mail you only need to write something like this:
$config = array('auth' => 'login',
'username' => 'myusername',
'password' => 'password');
$transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp('mail.server.com', $config);
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyText('This is the text of the mail.');
$mail->setFrom('sender#test.com', 'Some Sender');
$mail->addTo('recipient#test.com', 'Some Recipient');
$mail->setSubject('TestSubject');
$mail->send($transport);
The above handles authentication for you and sends a mail.
Using PHP, I'm attempting to route email through AuthSMTP (a hosted SMTP service). The problem is that the PEAR mail factory automatically tries to negotiation a TLS connection with the server. Rather than simply ignoring the attempt, AuthSMTP throws an error. I need a way to explicitly tell the Mailer class not to try to use TLS. Any suggestions?
$from = "Example <noreply#example.com>";
$to = $email;
$subject = "This is an email";
$body_text = "plain text here";
$body_html = "<h1>HTML here!</h1>";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$mime = new Mail_mime('rn');
$mime->setTXTBody($body_text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($body_html);
$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($headers);
$host = "mail.authsmtp.com";
$port = 26;
$username = "my_username";
$password = "whatever_password";
$mailer = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'port' => $port,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
throw new Exception($res->getMessage());
} else {
return true;
}
AuthSMTP is giving me the following error:
SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 428, response: 4.0.0 Your account is using SSL - either disable it in your email client or enable it at http://control.authsmtp.com)
The easiest way is to change $tls=true to $tls=false in the definition of the function auth in PEAR\NET\SMTP.php
This can't be done with a current release of the PEAR Mail package - but is a requested feature. I've uploaded a patch so that this can be done. Hopefully a new release will be distributed soon.
Switched to using PHPMailer instead and had it working in 5 minutes.
