PHPMailer Vs Mail() Function
I am developing a simple mailing system. This requires sending emails in HTML format to one or more recipient. I am currently using PHP's mail() function. It works alright but it doesn't seem reliable. I am not able to send email to my hotmail account but it does send to yahoo account. I'm not sure if there is something about hotmail that blocks
emails for some unknown reason. If it goes to yahoo, it must go to hotmail. it doesn't even appear on junk mail section of hotmail. so i'm thining if I use PHPMailer, will it solve this issue? what are your thoughts?

Bulk Mail With PHPMailer?
Is it safe to use PHPMailer to send bulk mail? If so, how do i know it will not time out? Should i be using the phpMassMailer class? How do i know that that one will not time out? I am using my localhost godaddy dedicated SMTP server to send out mail, and only a couple will go through at a time. I have to wait about an hour for the rest to send. Is there another SMTP server i should be using?

PHPmailer - SMTP Vs Mail & Time Out
I am trying to send out 50,000 + emails through PHPmailer. I am using the $mail->Send();. Is it better to use SMTP so my server won't get blocked for spam? Is SMTP better for the server resources, it's a lot of HTML mail going out? The PHPmailer program does not seem to be sending out all the emails and it seems to time out. Is this due to the max_execution_time in the php configuration? Or has anyone used the PHPmailer to send out over 100,000+ emails? Our email list is growing and I need to make sure all emails are going out.

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.

Use The Mail() Function: Warning: Mail() [function.mail]:
I am trying to use the mail() function. I've got my php.ini file configured to use my current smtp host (Verizon) and I get this error: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "outgoing.verizon.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:www est.php on line 39 So I'm asking two things. 1) How can I make this work with out using Verizon's SMTP server? The server I am using for this website is a Windows XP machine with Apache as the webserver. 2) Once I have an alternative smtp server option, what is it I need to do to set it up properly? I need an alternative smtp server because this machine is just a development machine at my house, while the file site is in a colo and isn't connect to verizion or anyone else with a smtp server.

Emails Blocked By Certain Mail Hosts? (mail() Function)
I'm using mail($address,$subjectheading,$message,"From: me@mysite.com") to send emails from my site. For the most part, it works okay (for example, I receive the mail in my Yahoo box). But when I check my university email, the message is not delivered. I thought maybe it was because I had included my web address in the subject heading and that it was being filtered out, but I removed that from the subject and it still fails to get through. I'm making a wedding site for some friends now and they want to be able to email everyone on their guest list at once, but I'm afraid the same will happen to some of these addresses as well. Any comments/suggestions on what may be blocking the mail and how I can get around it? I'm not trying to send out any kind of mass ad mailings or anything. Just to people on a mailing list for this site.

PHP Mail() Function Failing To Send Mail
Our setup: PHP 4.3.11, FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE, Sendmail 8.1, 1 host environment, 2 jails. Our problem: While we can send email from the command line just fine in one of the jails, we cannot use the php mail() command to send email using sendmail at all. The function, when executed, does absolutely nothing. No error, no reports to the maillog, nothing. I've read somewhere that it's "not possible" to send mail using the php mail() function within a freebsd jail, but i'm nearly certain we have it working this way on another server, but can't seem to figure out the issue.

Send Out The Most Basic E-mail Using PHP And The Mail() Function.
im trying to send out the most basic e-mail using PHP and the mail() function. the problem i have is that it will always return true but the message is never received and im not sure if its even sent. heres my code.... $email = "jonathangilmartin@yahoo.co.uk"; $subject = "Subject!"; $body = "whatever you want to email"; $from = "From: Jon <john@beach.es>"; $p5 = '-f john@beach.es'; if(mail($to,$subj,$mesg,$from,$p5)){ echo " sent ok "; } else { echo " failed "; } I think the problem I have could be due to the server I am hosting the site on, but dont quote me on this as im not sure. The site is hosted on my university server, ive now graduated so I cannot ask the support team if any ports are blocked. Does anyone know a way of testing a servers ports, if this is even necessary of course ! can anyone explain the typical server requirements to send e-mail using PHP, i assume port 25 must be open and the server must accept SMTP. Forgive me for asking a dumb question but I take it that i cannot test the mail() function from my testing apache server installed on my local PC ? Also you will have noticed that i have a yahoo e-mail address, would i have to make any changes to my account to get this working ?? its only a standard free e-mail account.

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?

Mail( ) Function
I created a web page and upon completion and hitting a submit button, the information is gathered up and sent out in an e-mail using the mail( ) function. We have been having recent problems with the e-mails not being sent even though the mail( ) function returns true. I have the mail( ) call in a while-loop so it keeps trying until mail( ) returns true. Has anybody else had a problem with the mail( ) function not always sending the e-mails? Is there a better, safer way to send e-mail through PHP or maybe even Javascript that I should try to use to more reliably have the e-mails sent?
