Status: Open
Bug Type: Mail related
Operating System: Windows 2000 SP 4
PHP Version: 4.3.8
New Comment:
I am investigating the possibility that it is a problem with our mail
relay software.
The problem can be replicated using a standard email client and
therefore it is very unlikely to be PHP related.
I will report back once we have done more diagnostics.

Description:
------------
The mail function cannot send the email has certain characters. For
instance the following will not work
$subject = "Joe bloggs edited the Personnel Record of Joe bloggs";
If I strip out the 'd's, it does work:
$subject = "Joe bloggs edite the Personnel Recor of Joe bloggs";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", $subject, "test", "");
My php.ini has the following values:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.arts.ac.uk
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The problem also occurs on Linux running PHP Version 4.3.2
Looking in /var/log/maillog:
Sep 1 17:41:57 www-b sendmail[27241]: i81GfvD27241: from=nobody,
size=92, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sep 1 17:41:57 www-b sendmail[27244]: i81GfvD27241:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=nobody (99/99), delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30092, relay=mail.linst.ac.uk
[195.195.78.11], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (OK id=1C2YBJ-0002Nd-00)
Reproduce code:
---------------
$subject = "Joe bloggs edited the Personnel Record of Joe bloggs";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", $subject, "test", "");
Expected result:
----------------
An email is sent with:
to/from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
subject: 'Joe bloggs edited the Personnel Record of Joe bloggs'
body: 'test'
Actual result:
--------------
No email is sent at all.
