ID: 28038 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: jordi at jcanals dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment:
It is a bug, since PHP is sending those headers by parsing the email. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-18 01:00:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing with PHP on Windows doesn't support this. Not a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-17 19:14:01] jordi at jcanals dot net Description: ------------ In windows, and using an SMTP server, when you try to send a mail using the mail function the SMTP transaction will fail if you include recipient names. When including any recipient header in the following format (wich follows the RFC 2822), the mail function does not handle it properly: To: User Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Other User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bcc: Third User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Loking at the SMTP transaction, the PHP mail layer sends this RCPT commands wich do not folow the SMTP standard stated on RFC 2821: RCPT TO:<User Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> RCPT TO:<Other User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> RCPT TO:<Third User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> Fails always with this environments: Tested on Windows XP, Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.6 (Also in 4.3.4) Tested also on Windows 2000, IIS, PHP 4.3.6 Tested Using SMTP servers on Linux with Exim and Sendmail. Tested also using the default Windows 2000 SMTP server. Reproduce code: --------------- // SAMPLE 1: $to_recipient = "User Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"; $header = "Cc: Other User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; $header .= "Bcc: Third User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; mail($to_recipient, $subject, $body, $header); // FAILS with SMTP errors for all three recipients. SAMPLE 2: $to_recipient = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $header = "To: User Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; $header .= "Cc: Other User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; $header .= "Bcc: Third User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; mail($to_recipient, $subject, $body, $header); FAILS on with SMTP error on the three recipients passed on the $header field. Expected result: ---------------- Expected that the mail layer exctracts only the mail address from recipients to send the SMTP commands: As seen on the RFC's 2821 and 2822, when sending a mail with the recipient headers formed like above, it is expected the mail layer to extract ONLY the email address to send the RCPT commands, and pass the headers without any change in the DATA command during the SMTP transaction. Example of the correct SMTP transaction for the above headers: RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DATA To: User Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Other User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bcc: Third User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Actual result: -------------- You get that error for all recipients with the recipient name: Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 <SomeOne Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>: "@" or "." expected after "SomeOne" in mail.class.php on line 333 This error is produced when the mail layer is sending a wrong formed RCPT TO: command in the SMTP transaction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28038&edit=1
