Mail Form - Sender's E-mail Address
I am less than a newbie when it comes to PHP. I recently picked up a book and I am trying to get through. So please keep that in mind when you post a reply. I have a mail form that is working great except that when it sends me the e-mails, it does not want to put the sender's e-mail address in the "From" field of the e-mail. The book that I have simply says that there is not a foolproof way to fix this. I say, that is why I bought the book, but it still doesn't explain it. If you know a workaround for this little issue I would appreciate your help. I tried searching this site for a similar post, but I am must not be typing the right question, 'cause I ain't finding an answer.

Sending Mail To Multiple Users (which Can Be Selected By The Sender)
I'm looking for a script to email a contact form to multiple emailadresses but that the user can choose to which people the email is being send, like for example: the user only sees a few names with checkboxes and by selecting a few of those checkboxes (with only the nicknames of the recipient(s) viewable for the user NOT the emailadress) they can select to which people they would like to send that Email.

Using The Same Email Address For Both Sender And Receiver
I've seen sites where a user A fills out a form which send an email to user B. User B replies to an address like chatroom@site.com, and user A can reply to that same email address. However, user C,D, etc. also goes through this same process, and they all use the email chatroom@site.com. All emails end up to the right person, however, presumably because there's an identifier in the subject line (e.g., [ID=34632]) that forwards the email to the right person. How do you set up this kind of system? Where can i go to look up more details on something like this?

Forward Email, Change Sender Address
Is there anyway I can set up a personal 'remailer' type of thing on my domain ? I can not email a friend at his workplace because his company have put a 'block' on emails from my work address (the companies we work for are considered rivals) - I am after a way to 'bounce' or forward an email, so my originating address isn't shown. I have tried email forwarding (in CPanel) using addresses set up in my domain but when they forward, the original sender is shown, therefore the block applies. I have also tried using Bigfoot but again, the original sender is shown. Is there any way, using PHP or otherwise, that I could somehow receive a message sent to an address in my domain, and forward it on with a different "from" address ? (There would only be 1 specified address that I would want to forward on, to prevent abuse!) i.e. from xxxx@company1.com => xxxx@mydomain.com, this then forwards the original mail but from xxxx@mydomain.com => xxxx@company2.com Unfortunately webmail isn't an option as we don't have web access at work, and it has to be sent through the work Email system, Outlook.

PHP Is Not Properly Passing The Sender's Address To Sendmail.
for some reason it seems PHP is not properly passing the sender's address to sendmail. It does not matter whether I add "From" as header, "nobody@new" is always taken as originating addres (be it return-path, from or sender). sendmail logs the following line SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<nobody@new> Is this due to a wrong sendmail configuration or would I need to change something within PHP?

Can You Use PHP To Keep Sending Junk Email Back To The Sender

Mail() & Sender.
I have a script that sends and email contact form back to an e-mail address. I have just changed over servers and have noticed that when i get an e-mail sent to me from the contact form it has a Header named Sender with the address of my server rather than and e-mail address i specify. As i use several other scripts that send e-mail out to the browsers i wanted to know whether there was anyway of changing this Sender: field?? I've tried the ones listed below: Reply-To: X-Sender: Return-Path: I thought maybe this could be to do with the way php has been setup and something within php.ini.

Sending Mail: Choice Between Sending Receipt, Or HTML Formatting
I'm using PHP's mail function to send out a message via email. I would like for this email message to send a receipt when read as well as send an HTML formatted email. Both aspects are important to me. I know this is a product of the mail header. This is the format I currently have: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Disposition-Notification-To: name<email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8"); This prompts the email program to send a reciept, but the email message is not in the HTML format, and even contains "Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8" at the top of the body. If I switch the order to this format: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8 Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>"); This sends the email with HTML formatting but does not prompt the sending of the receipt. I also get "Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>" at the top of the email message. This tells me there is a problem in the transition between the headers, which currently is "". What am I doing wrong?

Sending HTML Mail To Outlook Express With Mail()
I'm sending out an HTML mailer using the mail() function in PHP. I'm appending all of the headers to the message. This message displays correctly in Hotmail, Outlook 2000, and even Mac's OSX mail client. But, for some reason, Outlook Expess (on Win XP & OSX) displays the HTML code and doesn't render it. If, however, the recipient copies the HTML code and composes a new HTML message in Outlook Express, it gets sent correctly. This particular user is also getting other HTML mailers that display correctly, so I know that the client is capable of accepting HTML mail. I'm led to believe that PHP's mail() headers are not being interpreted correctly. In fact, they appear as the first 3 lines in the body of the message when viewed in Outlook Express. OK, here are some samples to tie this all together: First, the mail() code I'm using: PHP Code:

Mail Form Not Sending Mail - Server2003

PHP works fine as well, but I just cant get mail sent by php, although no errors are reported. Do I understand it correctly that this simple script should send me a mail? This is just to test that it works. <?php mail('me@whatever.com', 'My Subject', 'message'); header( "Location: http://webserver/message_sent.htm" ); ?> Okay, the " Location: http://webserver/message_sent.htm" comes up fine, and "<?php phpinfo() ?>" also works fine.

Mail() / Sendmail Sending Mail As Spam
Wondering if anybody knows why when sending mail through my local sendmail program using the PHP mail() function; emails either do not reach the destination, or register as spam? Prime example is: h0tm@il addresses never receive the email, gmail addresses consider the email to be spam, and my workplace receive the email about 1 hour after the program finishes. Could it be a problem with my ISP? I am using Fedora Core 6, PHP 5 and Apache 2. Or test it yourself.. just fill out the form with some rubbish and it should send an email saying you've registered.. maybe you can figure out where I am going wrong by looking at the headers? http://aaronweb.no-ip.com:6969/?p=2

Sending Mail To Hotmail Using The Mail() Function
I have been doing some research into how to send mail to a Hotmail address using the mail() function provided in PHP, in previous posts I may have been wrong in mentioning that you need to add your mail server to the hotmail PostMaster website using Smart Network Data Services (SNDS), after doing some research I have found that in order to send e-mail to a Hotmail address you need to add/ask your host to add an SPF record to your domain. What is SPF? Well, SPF is a protocol used to eliminate forged e-mails, much like SSL certificates help eliminate phising websites. Microsoft use the SPF record against the SenderID Framework that they have in place. How do I go about obtaining an SPF Record? Easy! use the Microsoft wizard found at: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/ to generate a unique SPF record for your domain, then add it to your DNS server, or ask your web host to do this. I manage my own DNS server, how do I add an SPF record to a domain? To begin, open the DNS MMC from the Administrative Tools menu of your Windows Server 2003 system. Next, find the domain that will host the SPF DNS lookup record. Highlight the folder for the domain, and select Other New Records from the Action menu. You can also access this menu by right-clicking the domain folder. The resource Record Type dialog box will be displayed. From the Select a Resource Record Type area of the screen, scroll down the list and select Text (TXT) from the list. Click Create Record. This will bring up the New Resource Record dialog box to appear. This is where you paste the SPF record generated by the above website ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this helps, I have tried it myself and e-mails went straight to my inbox (not junk mail). Would also appreciate feedback if this works for other providers such as Yahoo! etc as I have not tried it with them Give me your feedback on how it works for you, also if it works possibly make this thread sticky as I'm sure it will resolve many problems for people out there who are denying access to people who have public email addresses.

Mail() Function Doesn't Seem To Be Sending MAIL FROM: Properly
I'm trying to send an email using the mail() function. I've carefully made use of the ini_set(SMTP, "mail.my.server") function to set my SMTP server and also to set my From: address. I'm still getting a "Relaying not explicitly allowed: fakeemail@fakedomain.com" response from the server however, when I try and set a recipient who is outside of my own domain. This makes my think that the From: address is somehow not getting sent to my server properly or that I'm pointing at the wrong server. The confounding thing is that it was working for a while and I don't think I changed anything and it just stopped. I'm running these PHP pages for a client off of one of those cheap hosting services, I think it's called 1dollarhost.com or something, although I can't remember at the moment. Has anyone else had trouble with this or found a solution?

PHP Mail Script To Bad Address Not Bouncing
I'm trying to create a PHP script to send mail to a list of addresses. I'm sending mail okay, because the messages arrive in an account that I can check, but messages to a known bad address aren't being bounced back to the sending address. Here's the line of code I'm using: $mailok = mail("me@goodaddress.com,me@badaddress.com","this is a test", "this is a test", "From: me@sendaddress.com"); I receive the message at me@goodaddress.com just fine. If I send a manual message to me@badaddress.com, the message bounces. If I manually bounce the message that I received at me@goodaddress.com then it bounces back to me@sendaddress.com. I need to figure out why messages to me@badaddress.com sent by the PHP script aren't bouncing back to me@sendaddress.com.

Problem: Mail() With Subdomain In TO Address
When using mail() with a TO address that includes a subdomain, as in foo@sub.domain.com, the intended recipient never receives the mail. I'm not sure if this is a problem with mail() or a misconfiguration of the mail program (postfix on dev server, qmail on production server), but foo@sub.domain.com doesn't receive any mail, while foo@domain.com gets it every time. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated! echo 'mail() test - WITHOUT SUBDOMAIN<br />' // this works fine mail( 'foo@domain.com', 'this is the subject', 'this is the message', "From: bar@domain.com " ); echo 'mail() test - WITH SUBDOMAIN' // this doesn't work mail( 'foo@sub.domain.com', 'this is the subject', 'this is the message', "From: bar@domain.com " );
