Email Sends With Mail() Function But Arrives Blank
The TextInputForm.html form and WorkMail.php script below work fine. But there is one exception. If the "maxlength" variables for the text input boxes in the HTML form below are increased any more than the current settings the e-mail won't work right. What will happen is the e-mail will send but when it arrives it will be blank when viewed in the e-mail client.
For example, if the "maxlength" in the "AnyConcerns" text input box below is increased to 175 or above, and if all of the text boxes on the HTML form are full of text, the e-mail will arrive blank.
The "echo" statements on the WorkMail.php script below work fine. If the "maxlength" settings on the text boxes are too high (resulting in a blank e-mail) the "echo" statements will still print out all of the input in the browser. That indicates that the $Data string is processing all the way through to the SendMail() function below.
I was thinking that maybe, in order to guard against persons sending spam, the ISP has set the hosting server to limit the amount of text that can be sent in any one e-mail.
Does anyone know what might be the problem? PHP Code:

How To Make A Server Run A Script When An Email Arrives?
I want to build a PHP-based mailing list manager. The problem is how to handle processes initiated by emails, say if a person sends an email from his/her regular email program or webmail site (hotmail, aol, pandora, whatever), e.g. to send an email message to a list he/she is subscribed to or to send an email for automatic unsubscription (with "unsubscribe" in the subject line) from a list, etc. How would the manager handle such a process? Is there a way to get a server to automatically run a PHP script whenever, say, an email comes in addressed to some email address at @lists.MYDOMAIN.org (say if the email is addressed to SOMELIST@lists.MYDOMAIN.org)? Or could I solve the problem by using some other scripting language, say, Perl or Python (which I don't know too well currently)?

Email Forms Without MAIL( ) Function.
Several servers I have had my site hosted on took care of the technical details of email form submitting; I simply set the ACTION="http://MySite.MyDomain.Com". Now, my current host seems not to do this, or anything remotely like this. I have tried about 6 or 7 php scripts for email forms to no success, only error messages or nothing at all. I have read what I can find on this site here, as well as the About.com php tutorials and whatever else I can find. I think there is more I need to know about the server-side of things, such as where is the CGI-BIN directory, if there is one and if I need to use it; and also, Do I really need a Database and Tables just to send a simple form to email?. My host server claims to support php, and also I have available to me a php/MyAdmin/MySQL area, but I don't know how to use this. My host also has the Mail() function disabled to deter spammers apparently, and it seems to be this function which all the scripts I can find are using. How then, without using this Mail() function, can I have my contact form submitted and emailed to me?

Sends The Email Successfully Even If There Is Illegal Charactors?
The remaining 2 problems are even though it validates the email address with preg_match and echos an error, it still sends the mail and it checks for invalid charactors but (you guessed it) it still send the mail. The script works fine, it checks if email, name and subject are filled out and if not writes an advice on the page. It also checks for illegal charactors and correctly formed email address and writes the error message correctly. The problem is that it sends the email successfully even if there is illegal charactors and/or malformed email address, in other words it knows about the problems but doesn't prevent the email being sent.

The message ends up getting sent numerous times to the people in the group. I received the message 9 times. I think the script is looping more times than it should. Does this make sense so far?

Sends A Mail Message When A User Registers
how to get around having our website emails being sent straight to yahoo (and probably hotmail) bulk mail folders. My website sends a mail message when a user registers to both the user and ourselves. Similar when a user changes their password/account info. At present, the mail is pretty simple. For example: mail($email,"Your my_domainname_here account has been updated",$user_message ,"From: my_domainname_here.com"); Ive come across a few other posts with the same problem, does anyone have any updated suggestions? Maybe changing the from header to include an email address? How do message board sites format their email when they send out an email after you change your account info etc? Im looking at some of the headers in my yahoo inbox and there is a piece called "Authentication-Results". I think im going to have to dive in and learn about all the different email header elements.

A Link In An Email That, On Click, Sends The Headerinfo To A Server
Is it posible to make a link (to a php-file on a server) in an email that, when you click on it, sends info about who the reciver of the email is? Lets say I send out an email thru an alias to a group of people and I want to give them the opportunity to sign up for an event using that link. Those that click the link are added to a post in a database (MySQL), eg. with their email adress, initials, name... whatever. I guess that it would be easy if it just takes the contest of the to-field in the emails headerinfo? If a spammer can do it, so can I :o) And... if you have an answer please assume that I know practicly nothing about php :o) I have made a few sites with php and MySQL, but nothing fancy - just simple guestbooks etc.

MAIL() Function To Send An Email When Users Register
I have created a registration page for my site, and once the information provided is validated OK, the script inserts all the data on to MYSQL and after that it sends a Welcome Email to the user. My problem is that the user has to wait sometimes few minutes, with the form on front of then while the script is sending the mail. My questions are: 1) Is there a way to "pipe/delegate" the email job to another script while freeing the form web page, as in the Process Flow: Form Completed ------(3 seconds)----> New page "welcome to the Club" --( fork another script)---(1 to 4 minutes)----> Send Welcome email to the user 2) While the email is being sent, the form page refreshed to a "Waiting Bar.GIF" and when the email is sent it refreshed to a new page like: "welcome Html Page"?

Mail() Function - Using The Mail() Function To Send Emails To Members Of A Website
I am using the mail() function to send emails to members of a website. For some reason when I include words such as "free" or "winner" the mail does not send to any of the addresses - it just seems to disappear in space. I figured this out by trial and error - once I removed those words, it worked. I am running cPanel on the server and have no problem sending emails as long as they don't use those words. It seems to be blocking certain words - ones that I assume spammers would use.
