Thanks, but has the latest snapshot been specifically edited to fix this specific problem? Because this problem as been around for years, and so only a specific fix is worth my time. Also I have no way to test the latest snapshot until my host Pair.com upgrades. I alerted Pair.com to this problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 00:49:37] shelby at coolpage dot com I verified that the work around this bug for my configuration (as previously mentioned) is to use "\r\n" only after the "From:", "Reply-To:", "Cc:", and "Bcc:" headers, if there is another header which follows, and to use only "\n" after other extra headers, if another header follows. Note in my use, I only tried placing the "From:", "Reply-To:", "Cc:", and "Bcc:" headers first, and any extra headers (such as "Date:", "Mime-Versions:", etc) after. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 00:40:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-13 11:12:50] shelby at coolpage dot com Note I made two typos: Content-Type: text/plainn\r\r\n Should be: Content-Type: text/plain\r\r\n And: There seems to be no one answer of solution? Should be: There seems to be no one answer or solution? Also I would like to point out that either mail() or Qmail must be handling the CRLR after the From: dna Reply-To: headers correctly. It is strange that only some headers are affected. That could explain why others have not reproduced the bug reports of yore ("yore" is like 2002 apparently! :) Now it seems I remember having this same problem (had to change my "\n" to "\r\n" between headers input to mail()) when I migrated from Pair.com to Rackspace.com (from Qmail to SendMail) and now revisiting this again when migrating back. So what is correct work around? Do I change all "\r\n" back to "\n" when using Qmail, or just the headers it seems to affect? What is going to work in current and future CVS of PHP? Please give some definitive guidance! Having mail break for 1000 AccuSpam users (spam filter) is not pretty!

I remembered seeing this before and remember it had something to do with extra "\r" character after a header line. I then did a raw telnet session saved to a raw log and confirmed that the extra CR ("\r") is being inserted by mail(). I am guessing that the mail() code extracts known header lines and their "\r\n", then does str_replace( "\n", "\r\n" ) on remaining lines of extra headers? I use pair.com as host: php -v PHP 4.3.4 (cli) (built: Nov 4 2003 16:10:03) Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Zend Technologies We do use Qmail.

Reproduce code: --------------- If the following headers input to mail(): "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" . "Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" . "Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 08:15:15 -0400\r\n" . "Mime-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-Type: text/plainn\r\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT\r\n" Expected result: ---------------- (1) In Outlook Express, you get: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 08:15:15 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT (2) In Eudora 4, you see: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 08:15:15 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plainn Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BITT (3) In raw text you see: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 08:15:15 -0400\r\r\n Mime-Version: 1.0\r\r\n Content-Type: text/plainn\r\r\n Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT\r\r\n ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29646&edit=1
