[PHP] Re: Mail Function In PHP

[Al]

Use the Pear Mail package. In particular the smtp class.

It will save you much grief and time.

Number 1, in php.ini you left this uncommented so it's using this:
SMTP =
smtp_port =

Number 2, here you didn't uncomment the ;sendmail_path:
; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
-t -i").
;sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

Also, notice the *For Unix only.* comment.  Dunno if it will work anyway
if you have sendmail.

[PHP] Re: mail function

[Cristian MARIN]

I don't know exactly if this problem belongs to this news forum. This is 
more or less a SMTP question.


The email servers names are kept into the mail MIME headers even if the 
message only passed through them and was then forwarded the servers 
names and IP's. This is done for anti-spam mesures, relay purposes, 
bouncing and other SMTP good reasons.

There are 3 ways to avoid this as far as I know:
1. To use internal networks relay servers with fake unroutable IP's like 
127.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x. However the IP address of the gateway is 
visible and this will work only in case of big networks.
2. To use so many email redirect servers that the MIME message beeing 
too long will start cutting the origins.
3. To connect to the relay server using a masquerading anonymous public 
server with squid or other proxy software running on it.


However this is not legal and I will advise to not use these methods. 
You may be considered a SPAM sender and be sued for these kind of actions.

[PHP] Re: mail function-new line-security

[A.J. Brown]

I think you're thinking of "spam injection" through register_globals.  If 
so, yes it is vulnerable.

You need to force the variable data to come from the $_POST variable:

[code]

$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$user_mail = $_POST['user_mail'];
$my_email = $_POST['my_email'];

$usermailmsg =
"This is the information you submitted.\n
If this is not correct, please contact us at mailto:$my_email.\n\n
Name: $name\n
Phone: $phone\n

...
Please feel free to write us with any comments or suggestions so that we may 
better serve you.\n
mailto:$my_email\n\n";;

mail("$user_mail", "$subject", "$usermailmsg", "$headers");

[/code]

news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have been working on making my contact forms more secure.  In my research, 
the occurence of the new line character \n at the end of the $headers 
variable in the  mail function seems to be a security risk and opens one up 
to injection of spam email.  This part I understand.  I have been unable to 
find out this same information about the message variable.

If I have a variable defining the message like this, can I use the new line 
character or am I opening myself up to more spam injection.

$usermailmsg =
"This is the information you submitted.\n
If this is not correct, please contact us at mailto:$my_email.\n\n

mail("$user_mail", "$subject", "$usermailmsg", "$headers");

Hi,
   After u installed qmail, there is a qmail compatible sendmail 
created for you in /var/lib/qmail/bin (i think that's where it should be).
   As qmail docu' says y should copy or symlink this sendmail to the
/bin/sendmail or /usr/bin/sendmail on u'r system.
   Make sure u first backup u'r original sendmail.
   This should make PHP's mail stuff work as expected with qmail

hope this helps,

RE: [PHP] Re: mail() function problem

[Lone Wolf]

What you need to do is set your SMTP server inside the php.ini file...


[mail function] 
SMTP = smtp.server.com  ; for win32 only 
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; for win32 only 
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well ; (default is
sendmail -t) 

The test string I used to make sure my example worked:

i use apache on my windows xp machine and have never gotten around to
settings up any kind of sendmail program, I'm pretty sure you have to
download one or atleast its some extra configuration.

You need to specify valid sender and recipient addresses. If you still 
have problems, you may want to try this class that has workarounds for 
some of the problems of the mail() function:

There is no way to set SMTP authentication using the mail() function.
Since you are one WinXP Pro -- you can download something like postcast 
http://www.postcast.com (a free SMTP server), and use that instead.

However, the original statement is correct ... mail() doesn't support 
SMTP authentication.

You may want to use this class that comes with a wrapper function named 
smtp_mail() that works exactly like the mail() function but lets you 
configure certain SMTP delivery details such as authentication credentials:

http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

You will also need this:

mail is handled by the server's smtp program. In Linux, this is 
sendmail, and should be installed by default. Haven't a clue about 
Windows (I don't do windows).

check for SMTP on the server (assuming Linux) by using the mail command 
in the console to send yourself a test email ("man mail" for help)

Brad, you're missing a buch of headers probably causing your email to be
dropped somewhere regarded spam (especially Hotmail is quite picky about the
headers).

Try and send these headers (fourth argument in mail() function.

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\r\n";//I use this, I'm not
sure if you really need this header
$headers .= "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers .= "Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers .= "Return-path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers .= "Error-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";

if (mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body,$headers)) {
  echo ("success");
} else {
  echo ("failed");
}

So much confusion on mail.

Return-Path: inserted by all smtp servers on delivery.
Reply-To:handled by client
Errors-To:   Maybe handled by smtp server.

That's funny, because I always had that problem, too. By adding Reply-To and
Return-path, it did not fix my problem. Boucing emails never got back to me.
Return-path was overwritten by my hostingserver to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and Reply-To
was apparently ignored by the server bouncing the email. Do you think
servers differ in this a lot?

Does mail() return true? I mean, do you get printed "U redu je"? If so, your
email should've been sent by PHP.
You are really missing a bunch of headers. I'm not sure if this is your
problem, but I think it's not a bad idea to include more headers, also
because more and more ISP's add some kind of spamfilter which might drop
your email. So maybe by adding more headers, you can solve this.
I use this:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";
$body = "Whatever is in your email";

$to = "Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$check_mail = mail($to, "Subject", $body, $headers);
When PHP sends an email to a non existing email address such as 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], the warning mail you normally get returned often does not 
arrive in your mailbox. Therefore I add two additional headers:

."Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
."Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
and now I do get the notification mail when mail bounces.

Does mail() return true? I mean, do you get printed "U redu je"? If so, your
email should've been sent by PHP.

You are really missing a bunch of headers. I'm not sure if this is your
problem, but I think it's not a bad idea to include more headers, also
because more and more ISP's add some kind of spamfilter which might drop
your email. So maybe by adding more headers, you can solve this.

I use this:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";

$body = "Whatever is in your email";

$to = "Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$check_mail = mail($to, "Subject", $body, $headers);

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.

I think in the worst case you need to

In that case you may want to try this class for

messages via SMTP that 
supports authentication.

You also need this class for the actual message

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() function & exchange

[Diana]

Hi,
my company set their server up not to talk SMTP
(disabled all --> that guy told me), and my tries to
connect or talk to any of their Exchange servers
failed :( so he must be true. Got onto their NT
servers though ;)
All the company uses Outlook & Exchange, & they use
mapi to talk to each other. If a manager can`t be in
the network, he`s connected via VPN & uses Outlook as
well. They`ve got a trust relationship between their
NT servers & the Exchange ones, & lots of domains
joined. 
As I said, I don`t have a clue of Exchange so correct
me if something sounds strange. 
To your suggestions: of course that would be easy for
me to tell them to set up a new box for me. They`ll do
that. But who likes the easy way ;)?
No, just my curiosity, maybe someone knows how the
protocol or whatever these M$ servers use is working &
I could try to implement that. Would make my project
more portable inside the company (They plan to use it
on other sites as well), so they wouldn`t have
problems with setting up separate Internal
Mailsweepers everytime :).

Can you tellme more about :
> You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server. It
> will relay the
> mail to the appropriate mailbox server 
is that working even if SMTP is not enabled? The guy
told me that SMTP is not enabled by default on
Exchange servers and they didn`t change that! (that`s
the reason for me to ask how that system works in the
wholehow does outlook send the mail to the
exchange server? Could it be that all the users just
access something like a directory on the exchange
server when starting their outlook (not a local
program! & not working when the exchange server
crashed ;)). Maybe that`s the LDAP part? 
Anyone enlighten me please..

by the way, a lot of people ask these questions

I can't comment on how your company's Exchange servers are
configured, but they absolutely *can* talk SMTP. We are using a
web-based application that sends email notifications through our
internal Exchange servers.

Now, they can be set up with SMTP turned off, or so that only certain
other hosts can relay through them (send mail), and that might be
what he's talking about when he says the "authenticated list". I
believe it's simply a list of hosts that are allowed to relay through
the Exchange SMTP server.

You'd be fine using SMTP on a connector server. It will relay the
mail to the appropriate mailbox server (assuming they've separate the
functions). 

Out of curiosity, why not give them the IP address and let them add
the host to the authenticated sender list, as he offered? Or did I
miss a part of the converation (very possible).

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() function & exchange

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

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)
I found in old archives of this mailinglist that some
people asked this question before (how to implement a
mail function for exchange servers in php) but no one
knew it. One hint was to use ldap. anyone any idea
about this? ANY help is appreciated, I will follow the
threads started about ldap but right now it does not
look like it has a lot to do with the mail stuff. 

Another hint might be the COM interface (I saw VB code
they used this) but php offers only very few things on
this and as I have no idea of microsofts concepts that
doesn`t help :(

Please email me for suggestions!!! Wold be great to
implement something new in php ;). If anyone knows
documents about how outlook & exchange work I would
like to see them! Thanks :)

Not strictly true, the mail function will send to multiple email addresses
separated by a comma, you can also cc and bcc by using headers. See the
manual, which has some good examples of this.

The mail() function will only send one mail at a time, to send multiple
mails you would write a loop like this (presuming you had your mail
addresses ready in an array called $emails):

foreach ($emails as $email) {
mail($email, "your subject", "your message");
}

Hello friends,

Can the mail() function send emails to multiple addresses which are
formatted as follows :

[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc with a
comma or a semicolon between them?

Thanks
Denis

Just in case you don't know, you can easily make an array out of your string
of emails by exploding using the commas as separators:

$emails = explode (",", $stringOfEmails);

[PHP] Re: mail function works, but always from nobody@localhost!

[KK]

add an extra variable to your mail function. php takes an optional 4th
parameter, which adds features like "From" and "Reply". example:
$extra = "From: $name <$email>\r\n\Reply-To: $email";

so the mail function would be:
mail($recipient,$subject,$body,$extra);

Hope this helped.

Are you setting a From: field? It may be that the from address as sent by 
the provider won't resolve, which may cause problems.

php.ini
Use the path to sendmail there, with the -t as suggested, and *YES* the
quotes *ARE* supposed to be part of it:

sendmail_path = "/path/to/sendmail -t"

You may also need to ease up restrictions in sendmail.conf so that the PHP
user is *allowed* to send out email, forge headers, and other fun things
that are pretty essential to making mail() useful.

You may also want to create a specific new user, different from the usual
"nobody", and use that for User in httpd.conf, so that PHP (all of Apache,
really) runs as 'www' or 'httpd' instead of 'nobody'

It will stop a few stupid people trying to abuse the lack of restriction on
email sending...

Not *really* much of a barrier, but every little bit helps.

For what it's worth, the only way to create a convincing fake routing
history in a message's headers is to find an open relay that doesn't
properly stamp mail it receives.

There are a very few SMTP servers which will receive and forward a piece 
of mail without adding a "Received:" line that says where they got it 
from. Thankfully these machines are almost all gone since they have been 
brutally punished by spammers pumping messages through them.

They're also listed on blacklists, so many people (myself included) 
wouldn't see messages that came through them.

You can't do that using PHP's mail function.

That particular header is automatically inserted, I believe, by the software
actually sending the email, IE sendmail or qmail or whatever.

What's more, it's pretty much not kosher to not have that.

This is not to say it's impossible to forge such things, and insert email
via an open relay into the mail stream/system somewhere.

Just that it's not something that should be a built-in function to PHP, or
*ANY* legitimate mass-use software for that matter.

I mean, that would be like inviting *EVERYBODY* to spam, uncontrollably, and
would just be stupid.

I honestly have no idea how to forge an email routing path, just know it can

No, mail() function does not have any support for authentication.

You may want to try to use this SMTP client message sending class that

I dunno where you have to put it, and maybe you just can't do that, but you
can't expect PHP to just magically "know" your password...

You're message is probably being rejected and is not bouncing.

You can add further variables to the end of your current mail() function to
specify the name of who its from, and the email address that they will send
the message to when they use the reply function on their email program, like
this:

mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3",
"From:Your Name\nReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]");

Just as the manual says, the 4th parameter which is optional allows you 
to specify additional headers.

Try mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine

[PHP] Re: mail function

[Gabe da Silveira]

There are not a lot of guarantees.  A big part of the problem is that 
you can't get instant feedback.  Your mail server may queue the message 
and not even send it right away, or it could get sent, and your mail 
server doesn't find out for several minutes while the message goes out 
on the 'net and eventually bounces because the address is bad.  There is 
probably a way you can get your mail server to inform you when a message 
fails to get delivered, but beyond that you probably can't do much.
