$arrText[$i] still contains the new-line character at the end.  Is that
harmful here?

I wrote a small piece of code to take a text file with
a list of email addresses in it one per line and send out
an email to each of them like so...

$headers = "From:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n";

$message = "Blah Blah Blah";

$subject = "Subject of the message";

$arrText = file("test.txt");

Yes. I had something similar. Try putting 'Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in
the fourth argument for mail. For some reason some systems balk without
a reply address, I'm not certain why?

Cesar:

What's the exact error message you are getting? or
there's no error message?

Are you running the PHP script in a local machine or a
server? What MTA are you using?

Re: [PHP] mail() problem

[Jim lucas]

you might want to test with a hotmail account as the return email address
and find out if they are bouncing your email.  I had this problem once, and
in the return email it told me that I had miss formed headers.  I got an
error 550 from the mail server.  you might try setting in the headers of you
mail that you are sending, a) the content type, b) bit number 8bit, 7 bit,
etc...  that solved the problem for me.

Hi all,

I have this strange problem where I can send e-mails from a PHP script to a
common e-mail address such as Hotmail's, but I can't send to my ISP-given

I questioned my ISP on that. They had something in their sendmail.exe
which prevented outgoing mail (scripts using smtp) that did not have a from: or 
reply-to:
- something to do with stopping clients from spamming without correctly identifying
themselves.

[César L . Aracena]

Ok. I've done everything that all of you told me to do, but still can't
get to send e-mails to my ISP's mail address. I did all of the
following:
 
a) Append a Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Actually, it’s
[EMAIL PROTECTED] )
b) Send the e-mail to my Hotmail account, but everything seems fine. The
address shown at the From: line is even the one I used in the Script.
c) Because I have placed the Script into a server and not a local
machine, asked the sysadmin to check the php.ini file and so but
nothing.
 
This step is crucial for my scripting and because all of my clients live
here, most of them use the same ISP and have to get their e-mails.
 
Actually, I didn't know how to change the content-type for my e-mail in
order to do some testing. Can anyone help me with this? Might be my last
chance...

You may want to try these classes:

Re: [PHP] mail() problem

you miss understood what I was saying.  I said to have your hotmail account
setup as the return email address and then send mail to you ISP.  if the
mail bounces it will be returned to your hotmail account instead of your
ISP.  if you do receive the mail returned to your hotmail account. it should
give you some insight on what is going on with the error messages included
in the return mail.

Two things that may or may not be part of your problem; 

first, if there is already something in $headers then appending the cc to 
it may give you an invalid string; and

second, you might try Cc: instead of CC:

RE: [PHP] mail() problem

[Craig Vincent]

Below the code i use. Everything works, the $mailto variable is buils up
from a database and contains more then one email adresses. Now my
question: how can i make the receivers of my message NOT to see the
email addresses of all the receivers, so then can't reply to all?


The simpliest thing to do would be to break up the $mailto into an array
with a separate field for each email address you need then use a foreach
loop on the array to send out individual mailings.  Or to better improve
efficiency don't even put the addresses into an array but rather send out
the mail in the routine that grabs the email addresses out of your database.
Depending on the number of emails you need to send out this is actually a
much better solution than just sending out a mail with 50 or 100 email
address in the To/CC/BCC adresses.  With the majority of my systems I can
pump out around 1000 - 1500 individual emails per minute with minimal
resources consumed on the system so a solution of this nature more than
likely will work out in your favor.

Sincerely,

Craig Vincent

 Send the message to yourself and put the string into a BCC field
which can be configured in the fourth argument.

Re: [PHP] mail problem...

[Ivan Balazs]

Hi!

It seems to be a php-specific problem. Check your php config file (in php4
it is php.ini). There you should find a line related to the smtp server.
Fill it with its correct content.

I think that the positive result means that php has successfully handed 
the message off to sendmail or whatever; whether sendmail then succeeds 
is another story :-)

My first thought would be to check the relevant log for sendmail 
activity, which might give a clue?

Not much traffic there :-) Try sending one from the command line, then 
one with your script and then check the log again.

That's because its on the web server traffic ... set up to handle just requests 
from our webpages ... 

ok now I've done what you said and found this out..

from command line it adds a entry to the syslog for sendmail

from the web page it does not seem to add anything to the log

So php is handing it off OK, but sendmail appears to be not 
getting/ignoring it? Any system changes or anything even minor happened 
around the time things stoped working. [I'm grasping at straws here a bit 
because I don't know how php handles the communication with sendmail]

Not on this server no ... yes on other servers with in the network ... inc our 
mail mail server .. but not on this one, having said that about 6 weeks ago we 
have a power outage with out our ups connect (very very bad I know but the ups 
was getting fixed) any way was all working good since then until about 4 days 
ago.

I've also tried change the sendmail line in php.ini so it reads 

sendmail_path   =   /usr/lib/sendmail -t -i  ;for unix only,
may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i')
 

 
 ie adding the full path for sendmail.. but still no luck..

[PHP] Re: PHP Mail problem

[Michael Virnstein]

refer to the manual of your email server and check for quota settings.
You obviously reached the quota limit there and now
you're not allowed to send any data, until the quota is
reset. This may be on a daily or monthly basis or perhaps
you have to do it manually.
