From: polone at townnews dot com Operating system: RedHat Linux 7.3 PHP version: 4.3.10 PHP Bug Type: Mail related Bug description: mail() is not RFC 822 compliant
Description: ------------ Please note, I have READ ticket #30226 - this person was right, but for the wrong reasons. The mail() function is not RFC822 compliant: BEGIN RFC822 SNIPPET >>> 3.2. HEADER FIELD DEFINITIONS These rules show a field meta-syntax, without regard for the particular type or internal syntax. Their purpose is to permit detection of fields; also, they present to higher-level parsers an image of each field as fitting on one line. field = field-name ":" [ field-body ] CRLF <<< END RFC822 SNIPPET All header fields inserted by PHP's mail() function are only separated with LF. Note that this causes issues with RFC822 compliant MTAs. The file where this is occuring is in ext/standard/mail.c, lines 228-233. As it turns out, probably anywhere you are doing LF you should be doing CRLF.
