I totally agree with your first sentence *grin*.
Anyways, I won`t be able to use your class because my
server is kind of "locked" in their network, meaning I
don`t have the possibility to connect outside, only to
their servers (NT servers). And as Exchange servers
don`t use SMTP (meaning the whole protocol is NOT
used, so your classes won`t help me), I`m not able to
send mails at all. Only like he offered me to put an
extra box in the network which will relay the mails
from my linux server.
That will do.
Does anyone know about the way exchange servers work, mapi and mapisend? The only thing I found was how to program that in VB (and being able to talk to Exchange servers), but it seems like this is not possible for my penguin :) (VB on Linux??? sounds stupid)
No, that will not work on Linux because you do not have COM object support, which is a Windows thing.

just today I stumbled into the same problem. It is true, I got this answer from an expert:
"Unfortunately this will not work. SMTP relaying
is
disabled on all the
Exchange connector servers and a standard Exchange
mailbox server does not
support SMTP. The only way that you can send SMTP
email from within our company is to use the Internal MailSweeper.
And
to allow this we need the IP
Address of the box that will be sending the
messages
so that we can include
it in the authenticated list. We have to have
things
set up this way for
Security reasons.
One other thing I should have mentioned. Outlook
uses
mapi to send on the
Exchange servers. So we can use the mapisend
command
but I do not know if
your application would support this. I think that
this may also need a
valid Outlook profile to work."
I don`t understand that either, because I am
trying to
use my Linux server (inside my companys network)
to
deliver mails to the exchange server via sendmail.
If anyone knows more about this topic, let me know.....sorry that this obviously does not belong
to
a php list, but I deleted the original email &
could
not find the email address of the author of this
topic
:(
I wonder about his expertise. Authentication was meant for security reasons.
Anyway, you do no not need to relay in the company
SMTP server unless outside access is blocked in some firewall.
If you are using Linux, you just need to use the
mail() function because it just uses sendmail by default.
If you still have problems, just use the classes
that I mentioned enabling direct delivery mode in the SMTP sending
attributes. That does the same as sendmail but at least if it fails you
can enable debugging to see what the SMTP protocol dialog reveals.

a friend of mine is trying to set up an automated

The platform is Windows & he's using the last PHP

time. He asks me how to do it with Exchange, because it
doesn't speak SMTP
or not correctly? What is the matter? Is that
true? But that's not
really the question... could somebody point me to
some documents where
I could find out, what has to be done to make it
work?
I do not see what he means by not speaking SMTP
correctly. Anyway, if it receives e-mail that you get, it also can relay
messages that you send. I think in the worst case you need to
authenticate.
In that case you may want to try this class for
composing and sending messages. It comes with a sub class for sending
messages via SMTP that supports authentication.

You also need this class for the actual message delivery:
