RE: [PHP] Problems sending mail to aol with the mail() function
I cannot help you, but I KNOW you are not the only one, I've been asked this question already, and, I think I've seen something on php.net under mail() ... I believe this is your XSender thing, but not sure ...

Turing testing I not noticed that aol users were not receiving the messages. AOL seems to be filtering them out without sending a bounce or anything. We tried it with multiple aol users, and nothing I tried when using the mail function got through, but messages sent from the server with pine and the php mail package SquirrelMail do get through. The messages are received on every other mail system I have tried. I know this is more of a mail question, but I was hoping somebody here and encountered this before and knew of a workaround. I noticed that SquirrelMail doesn't use the mail function, they chose to write their own SMPT package. I wonder why? Anyway, my test scripts look like this: I tried playing around with different headers and nothing made any difference. I sent them to myself and they sure look like valid email messages to me. Does anybody else have this problem? What did you do about it?

We tried it with My guess is AOL might be filtering out emails that have a Return-Path header of "nobody" or something similar. If PHP is running as an Apache module I don't think there's a way to change this header as I believe it's automatically set to the owner of Apache. Perhaps if you run the script using a CGI install of PHP using a different user AOL will accept it. Have you contacted AOL about the problem? -- Steve Werby COO 24-7 Computer Services, LLC Tel: 804.817.2470 http://www.247computing.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
