Reopen, seems to be still valid. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-14 07:45:01] danb1974 at gmail dot com It seems it's not enough to just gethostname. You have to do something like this (this is not actual production code): hostent *hent; gethostname(hname, sizeof(hname)); hent = gethostbyname(hname); strcpy(hostname, hent->h_name); // h_name is the official name according to winsock api ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-14 06:45:35] rona...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The windows XP "feature" for domain name resolution apparently gives out a bogus answer. This is an XP bug, not a PHP bug. Additionally, "trashcan2.intranet" is not a FQDN. See: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FQDN>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-14 06:23:35] danb1974 at gmail dot com Ok now I'm confuzed. * smtp requires helo to send fqdn and not just the hostname (it's stated somewhere in the rfc's) * windows xp fqdn is what the computer reports as "full computer name" (at least so does some say, see http://www.ima.com/support/regprob.html) * a windows xp joined to a domain (a) does not give you any choice about the hostname, it's the computer name which is obviously not fqdn and (b) does report the correct name as "full computer name" * on linux it works correctly (not using hostname but hostname -f value which is the fqdn) So at this point it's basically "I cannot send mail from xp to an unforgiving mail server and yes it's a feature so I have to live with it" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-13 14:32:50] il...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The host name use is the same one as your machine will report if you run ipconfig /all (Host Name value). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-13 09:28:43] danb1974 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Computer reports "Full computer name: trashcan2.intranet" in my computer properties, computer name tab. Sending mail using mail() functions generates a "helo trashcan2" instead of "helo trashcan2.intranet", which is rejected by a unforgiving smtp server (helo requires fqdn). Reproduce code: --------------- mail('danb1...@gmail.com', 'test', 'message') Actual result: -------------- Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 504 <trashcan2>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname in C:\Temp\php\test.php on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38091&edit=1
