Re[2]: [PHP-DEV] Bug #14329 Updated: Mail() does not work

2001-12-03 Thread Daniel Lorch

Hi,

 ?
 mail(holzgraefe, hartmut [EMAIL PROTECTED],test,test);
 ?
 holzgraefe... User unknown
 /home/hartmut/dead.letter... Saved message in /home/hartmut/dead.letter

Actually I didn't pay enough attention to your error message (and you
neither as it seems :)). holzgraefe is resolved to a local user which
apparently isn't able to receive mails.

This behaviour is quite weird, why should someome choose , as a
delimiter for users? ok, ok it's mentioned in the manual, but why
doesn't PHP just parse out all mail addresses? Everything containing a
@ where the boundaries are either whitespace or obvious characters
such as  and  ?

Ah, and did I mention that PHP on Windows behave quite oddly? Probably
because it connects directly to the SMTP server rather than piping to
sendmail/qmail.

Is this now a feature or a bug?

Kind Regards,
  Daniel Lorch

Hi,

?
mail(holzgraefe, hartmut [EMAIL PROTECTED],test,test);
?

 This doesn't work because of the comma.

sure, but this is a common real life mistake

so i strongly recommend using quotes for real names in mail adresses
just to be sure, although RFC822 doesn't require their use

well, the problem is how PHP parses out all mail adresses. Many MUAs
also use syntaxes like:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full Name)

quite odd, but I think having seen this from a t-online-mailer, which,
apparently, is the biggest ISP in germany. I don't support such
proprietary behaviour, but nevertheless (if you don't mind) I'd like to
add the way how PHP parses out the mail adresses to the wishlist of
future PHP development. Additionaly, the SMTP wrapper which is used by
PHP/Windows should behave the same way as the linux version does.

Kind Regards,
  Daniel Lorch
