I am using Drupal with IIS7 and PHP to email the results of a form. the user fills out the form, the form is (supposed to be) emailed to me. The script runs without error, but there is no email sent. When I look in the queue folder for the virtual smtp server, there is the following:
Final-Recipient: rfc822;my#email.com *my email is here*
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;504 Need Fully Qualified Address
the php script is a standard mailto() with no frills, no headers or anything.
Any thoughts?
From the sounds of the error given "Need Fully Qualified Address", you are not passing a proper email address.
My suggestion is to verify you using a qualified address for both the recipient and the sender.
However, 504 error message usually means you have improperly command in the SMTP communication (which has to do with the internal protocols).
It would be helpful to see the entire code to be able to identify if this is protocol issue, or a parameter issue.

I am trying to send mail using PHP Mailer but there is an issue with setfrom() method
In $mail->setFrom('abcd#abcd.com', 'Jay');
When I use domain name .com mail gets sent and received properly
But when I use . co domain name example $mail->setFrom('abcd#abcd.co', 'Jay');
Its doesn't show any error and says mail sent successfully but mail isn't received on my account.Tried changing google privacy settings.
Note:Not using SMPT kept it to false using default settings
Update:Ok so the thing is It is working but the emails are being receive after hours and hours if I use .co but when I use .com email are received immediately.
Probably server problem.
This sounds like a known problem that's been answered before: gmail does not allow setting arbitrary from addresses. You can preconfigure aliases in settings, but you can't simply start using them at the sending client. You can see the submission conversation by setting $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;, but if it's sending successfully, PHPMailer has no involvement beyond that point.
Ok so the problem was the server (bluehost)
What was happening is whenever the setFrom() had an email address whose sub domain was not '.com' eg: " abcd#abcd.co,abcd#abcd.in" the mail was being received after several hours.
It would work normally if setfrom() was set to a normal address eg: a#gmail.com .
Probably a server issue.
I am using the emailqueue by lorenzoherrera,
I have installed the setup in the windows 7 and executed the script and getting the error
The system cannot find the path specified
PHPMailer error : <strong> Could not execute : /var/qmail/bin/sendmail </strong>
This seems the linux path setting, what, how and where do I have to modify for windows setting, I am having no idea what to do.
Tough the db is showing the mail as send.
For it to even be looking at that path means it's being told to send via qmail, which you won't have on Windows. You need to alter the code that calls PHPMailer so that it's told to send either via a local mail server (using isMail()), or directly via SMTP using isSMTP(), along with appropriate login credentials. It sounds like this is a misconfiguration in EmailQueue, so I suggest you contact them for support - PHPMailer is only doing what it's told.
I have a daily newsletter I send out to a list of people each day. I use PHP and the PHPMailer object to send the emails.
This has been working fine up until today when I didn't get an email (test) and I checked the logs to find that intermittently I was getting SMTP errors back from
mail->Send();
Method of the class on SOME of the people - not all of them.
All of the emails were exactly the same size (length in characters) apart from their name and email address.
The error details from
$mail->ErrorInfo;
Included these two errors
SMTP Error: Data not accepted.<p>SMTP server error: 2.1.5 Ok
SMTP Error: Data not accepted.<p>SMTP server error: </p>
Why there are broken P tags in the error message I have no idea - also why the first error has OK in it??
However other people in the loop had emails go out fine.
Also when I put the script into test mode so ONLY these failures were emailed out (so one call of the script = one email to one person), I found no problem and the people got their emaail.
Now I asked tech support what the error meant and got back "Google it" and I can't find the error 2.1.5 OK anywhere. I don't really get why it says OK after an error either.
As a test for tomorrow I put a test in for a failed Send and then a Sleep for 5 seconds with a retry.
I don't know if this will help but I thought that maybe my SMTP server which is on the same server as my script (Rackspace VPS Linux) was having temporary issues connecting so a sleep might be handy in this situation.
This is the first time I have had this issue, I haven't rebooted APACHE or my server (or mailserver) and before this script I had another one send out 403 emails without any problem.
It would be nice to know what the error is and why it happened though.

That error is defined exactly where you would expect it to be - in the RFC that defines SMTP error codes. 2.1.5 means "Destination address valid". That it starts with a 2 means it's not an error as such, but a response code - warnings and errors start with 4 and 5. Why you got it, I don't know, but it certainly seems it was not expected in that context. Mail servers often have problems - they run out of disk space, get swamped by spam filtering, and this is why mail servers have queues. Sending directly using PHPMailer's SMTP class is not appropriate for high-volume sending - using SMTP is fine, but point it at a proper (nearby) MTA that can handle deliveries properly.
As for the garbled ErrorInfo content, I suspect you are using an old version of PHPMailer - the debug output has been cleaned up fairly recently. Another thing that changed lately is the handling of errors during single sends to multiple recipients (e.g. BCCs) - it's now much more likely to get to the end of a long recipient list without giving up than it was before.
Is there any way how to check response for e-mail status in PHP script? For example - if I have php script which uses functions like $mail->Send() - is there any way how to check return statuses before sending this email? It just check or send "fake" email or something to know for example if e-mail is full or other errors like these:
Remote host said: 552 4.2.2 User has full mailbox.
Or something like this:
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 Sorry, no mailbox here by that name.
Thank you.
I really doubt you could do that because it would mean that bad intentioned people could scan servers for email addresses.
I am trying to send out password reset links for when users forget their password to login to a system I am creating. The problem is, the smtp server is supposedly not configured on the server my system is hosted on. So whenever I try to use the php mail() function to send an email to an internal email address, the emails fail to send, but outside email address (tested with a gmail account), the emails go through. I believe this is because my server is sending directly out to the internet instead of passing through an internal smtp server to resolve where our domain emails should be sent. I was wondering if anyone knew how to configure this on an Xserve or if they knew how to specifically tell the php mail() function where to initially send the email. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be extremely helpful.
Thank you!
mail() doesn't send mail, it just hands things over to the local SMTP server. It does NOT reach out to the recipient's server to deliver the mail. In real world terms, mail() walks your letter down the street and drops it into the neighborhood mailbox. After that, it has absolutely nothing more to do with mail delivery.
Check your local SMTP server's logs to see why the local mails aren't being delivered. There should be a line or two saying why it's registered. Perhaps the local MTA (mail-transfer agent, aka the local "mail man") isn't configured properly.
You can control mail() with it's settings.
This might not solve your overall problem, but hopefully it's useful. This related answer has more information.
We just addressed this problem internally here. Hopefully this will help you as well.
Our environment:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
PHP 5.3.10
We could telnet into our SMTP server and send mail from our web server, so it wasn't a permissions issue. When attempting to mail externally, all works perfectly. When attempting to mail internally, silent failure.
Our PHP is using sendmail, which by default, attempts to relay mail to 127.0.0.1. Point this at your SMTP server by editing /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Update the line from:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS
to
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSyour.smtp.server.com
Restart sendmail and try sending yourself an email via PHP.
This is something that occurs on Parellels’ PLESK server administration software.
Find your ‘main.cf’ configuration file for PostFix, which for CentOS 6, is located at
/etc/postfix/main.cf
If you can’t find it, do a
which postfix
SSH command to at least see where Postfix is on your server.
Then, open the file up through a text editor, or in the Linux shell, and make these lines (should be at the end of the file, around line 677) :
virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains
virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/vmailbox
commented out like this :
#virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains
#virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
#virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/vmailbox
Then, restart the Postfix service
sudo service postfix restart
Apache while your at it (can’t hurt), and voila! Your email address should be receiving those emails now. This also doesn’t affect any of your regular emails or anything else, either.
