I have this logic
$subject = "something.com Signup -
Please do not reply to this email. It was automatically generated.";
$body = "A new person has signed up to receive something updates:";
$headers = "From: webinquiries#something.com\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: something#gmail.com\n";
// $headers .= 'Bcc: something#something.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\n";
mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
which seems ok but one thing.... can i set the smtp info like this
server="smtp.something.net",
username="webinquiries#somthing.com",
password="asda.1sda",
port="587"
you can set the server in php.ini, but user\password as php's build in mail does not support authentication. you should look at a third party library (phpmailer) as the php mail() function's very under powered.

I am using a PHP script to send e-mails to a list of friends. This used to work successfully but now the only e-mails that are sent successfully are those inside my domain ("mycompany.com"). Any e-mails outside my domain fail to be sent. Is this a problem with permissions? Could I fix it by changing the headers I use when I call the mail() function? Here is the PHP script:
$name = "Joe Smith";
$email = "jsmith#mycompany.com";
$to = "ajones#mycompany.com, tom#abc.com, ted#def.com, mary#ghi.com";
$subject = "Dinner Invitations";
$message = "Invitation to Dinner";
$headers = "From: ".$name."<".$email.">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Only ajones#mycompany.com was sent out by the server. tom#abc.com, ted#def.com, and mary#ghi.com did not get sent.
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!
The one email From:support#lead.com works fine. But when changed to john.doe#lead.com it doesn't work? See below.
Both are valid email addresses (fictitious for this example) in the domain from which they are sent.
I have the question into Netfirms support too. I expect to move to phpmailer or API to a ESP (e.g., mailchimp) account soon, but this is just bugging me that the little change breaks the email function.
Code:
Works:
$headers = "Mime-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8\n";
$headers .= 'From: support#lead.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: bcc#lead.com' . "\r\n";
// $headers .= 'Return-Path: bcc#lead.com' . "\r\n";
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
if (!mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-f bcc#mylead.com")) echo ("Message delivery failed");
Doesn't Work: (only changed support to john.doe):
$headers = "Mime-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8\n";
$headers .= 'From: john.doe#lead.com' . "\r\n";
// $headers .= 'Return-Path: bcc#lead.com' . "\r\n";
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
if (!mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-f bcc#lead.com")) echo ("Message delivery failed");
Don't know how this really should matter, but you're mixing \n and \r\n in the headers, which may confuse your mail server... Would you mind to try this out?
I have a mail function with the standard parameters:
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Where:
$headers = "From: admin#mysite.org";
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
Now, I'm trying to get the sent e-mails to show 'My Site' as the sender instead of 'admin#mysite.org' but if someone responds to the mail it still needs to go to admin#mysite.org.
I've tried putting "My Site" in the "From" field before and after the e-mail address but it just appends to the address. I've tried appending it to the $headers variable but that messes the whole e-mail up. I've also tried adding it this way:
$headers .= "\r\nMy Site";
but that doesn't seem to do anything.
I know this can't be complicated as I've seen it done a hundred times, but I can't seem to find a straight-forward answer for this - how do I 'mask' the admin e-mail with the site name but still keep it as the address any response goes to?
Change your From: header to "From: My Site <admin#mysite.org>"
$headers = "From: My Site <admin#mysite.org>";
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
From the PHP Docs.
There is the "From: something <something#something.com>"; header, and then there is also the optional fifth parameter of mail() which allows you to override the from setting that may or may not be set in php.ini.
<?php
$to = 'name#domain.com.au';
$header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$header .= "From: Name <noreply#domain.info>" . "\r\n";
$fifthp = '-f noreply#domain.info';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header,$fifthp);
?>
I have an HTML email needed to be sent to more than one person:
$mem = "abc#def.com, qwr#rty.com";
$subject = 'Invitation to Party';
$headers = "From: info#example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: info#example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$message = "SNIPPED";
mail($mem, $subject, $message, $headers);
It is sending to the first email which is abc#def.com, but it's not sending mail for the second recipient which is qwr#rty.com and the rest.
The email addresses are examples.
Is there any work-around for this besides using library?
you may send the second id as a bcc,
$headers .= "Bcc: ".$bcc."\r\n";
Using the php mail() function to send out emails when a user requests a login.
It was working fine last week, emails were being received by all my coworkers who share the same mail server for our company. Now however, the emails are not being received by that mail server, but received on others (comcast.net, uservoice.com, gmail.com, etc.) just fine.
No error from the php mail() function so the emails are being sent, just for whatever reason they are all of a sudden blocked by our mail server.
No settings have been changed to the php scripts or the mail server.
Any ideas??? I have tried everything!
<?PHP
$timestamp = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$to = 'james.hickman#MYCOMPANY.com';
$from = 'support#MYCOMPANY.uservoice.com';
$subject = 'Admin Test';
$message = 'Just a simple test message! - '.$timestamp;
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Organization: MYCOMPANY Support\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP". phpversion() ."\r\n" ;
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f ".$from))
echo "Success!";
else
echo "Failed";
?>
If you are able to send mail out to other services and just not your own server then the problem is not with php's mail function. Php's mail function just sends out mail and you yourself said that u are able to send mails to other hosts. So the problem is not as devious as it sounds. Try and check if your server is out of disk-space.
