Hi,
I have a fairly simple script written that uses the mail() function on a

out of ideas. The mail portion of the script is below:

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";

$headers .= "From: $emailfrom\n";
$mailsent = mail($emailto, $subject, $msg, $headers,"-f" . $emailfrom);
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

If you haven't solved this yet, try sending it via SMTP instead of using 
mail(). This will require that you send it by first logging into a valid 
e-mail account and sending it through a socket. PEAR::Mail 
 can do all this for you.

Take a look at the documentation here:

The headers seem to be fine, except maybe for those priority headers 
that are useless and may be the cause of some spam filters understand it 
as a pattern of spam.

Other than that, you are not telling what exactly you are putting in the 
$emailto, $subject and $msg, and there you may because commiting a fault 
that may cause that your message be discarded. Without telling what you 
are putting there, it is hard to help further.

You don't need sendmail. In php.ini you need to add something.

SMTP = [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not right? You want an address, not an email.

SMTP = smtp.uol.com.br is more likely the correct address.

I would also suggest adding the following headers to the message, as 
they are supposed to help keep the spam filters from recognizing a 
message as spam:

X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
Of course, you can read up on the various priority levels and change 
them if you want, but these settings are for "normal" priority mail and 
will help to pass it through the spam filters, from what I understand. 
They've worked for us so far.

You may want to try using this class that does exactly what you need and 
more. It lets you compose HTML messages, eventually with text version 
alternative in the same body to prevent that it gets trapped in spam 
filters, and lets you include any number of picture files either 
embedded in the message HTML part or as attachments.

I hate it too, but the complications of personalised email really do
outweigh the benefits, unless you're prepared for:

a) long development time
b) constantly hitting the "ceiling" of your code/server limits and having to
re-evaluate the code ("it worked for 1000, but now i have 3000", etc)
c) placing HUGE burdens on the server


Bulk mail in a personalised manner should be done with dedicated software
and a dedicated server... I think it's a little wishful to place such
burdens on a WEB server... especially one which is a shared server.

Even if the code does work, the sysadmin should shut it down to prevent the
massive performance hit you cause.


If you've got your own server(s), that's a different story... but then I'd
be using ezmlm or something like that.

I guess you are putting 500 emails in the Bcc field. I guess. I like to 
personalize outgoing mail. I has a script sending *lots* of email and I 
didn't think it through. My cohort had to clean up after me and he said 
that he just changed a parameter to sendmail to queue the mail, I 
*think* ... I haven't sent a lot of mail since then but I'll look at 
how I was using sendmail.

Eeks. I hate that. I hate email that does not indicate it knows who 
I am. Why is sending one email to one user so bad? I can't think of a

I am not sure what you mean by 500 emails per header.

Anyway, if you are personalizing messages, ie send a message per user, 
avoid that at all costs and if possible send a single message to all users.

You may wish to test the value tht mail() returns - if it returns true 
then the mail has been successfully handed off to the MTA and beyond the 
scope of PHP; in this case you then need to look at your system mail logs 
to see if there is something useful there. It may also be that the mail is 
successfully sent, but bounces for whatever reason; a check of the 
relevant mailboxes (postmaster, admin etc) may turn up more info.

Maybe. You may have to define that variable in the ISP but that may not

If it is not sending a message, maybe the mail() function is not enabled 
because configure could not find sendmail program in the path. In that 
case you will need to recompile PHP with sendmail in the path of the 
user that runs configure.

sendmail on my local server does indeed reside in /usr/lib/sendmail although
phpinfo shows sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i it still sends the
mail? Why is this the case and would you suggest anything to enable me to
get my mail working with my isp. I do not have direct access to php.ini with

I actually had to set the SMTP setting to localhost on our solaris boxes to

Yes, that is correct. Did you check for existence of /usr/sbin/sendmail?
Sendmail often resides in /usr/lib/sendmail, so you could check that. Try
file_exists, or open a pipe with popen.

I don't think this would stop emails from being sent.

There are two ways to change the From header:

- Use the function ini_set("sendmail_from", "" );
- Use "From: " as the fourth argument to your mail call

My development platform is linux 7.2 and php4.0.6. The production server is

On your second point, do you mean I should say something like this -

This is our temporary domain name. I hope this helps.

The mail function mail fail for many reasons but you are not checking 
its return value. Possibly it is just PHP configuration issue on your 
server. Which platform do you use?

Another point is that the Location: header is meant to be interpreted by 
the user browser, not your server. So, it should include the real server 
domain because localhost for each user is their own machine, not your 
server.

It is possible that you may be facing the multiple line response bug of 
SMTP code for Windows.

You may want to try this SMTP class here and enable debug information to 
see if it can deliver your messages right or see what errors come from 
it if it fails.

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/14.html

If you decide to use this class, you may also want to try this wrapper 
class that uses the above with a simpler interface:
