SMTP Mail Problem (but Works OK In Outlook)
I'm finding when a mail is sent from a script, I get:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at
"smtp.ntlworld.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in
php.ini or use ini_set() in C:Documents and Settings
However, when using Outlook and setting the SMTP agent in that to
smtp.ntlworld.com, on the same PC, mail is sent fine (using Outlook)
without any problems.

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(), Html & Outlook
I see that a while ago people had the same problems as me (http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/show...eadid=10240258), but I see no answers anywhere, so here goes: I am sending E-Mail from a form on my website using the php mail(). The problem is that when I send it as html, outlook has problems. Here are the headers I'm using: $headers = "From: $name <$email>"; $headers .= "Reply-To: $email "; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html;"; When I do this, the E-Mail looks fine in squirrelmail (a webmail program www.squirrelmail.org), but in outlook...instead of getting a nicely formatted html message, I get a message that starts with "Content-type: text/html;" then continues on in plaintext, showing me all the html tags, etc. I tried switching some of the headers around, and if I switch the mime & content-type headers, I see html in BOTH E-Mail programs, but outlook starts the message off with "MIME-Version: 1.0" which I suppose is the lesser of 2 evils, but there is no reason that I should have to see that. Does anyone have a solution?

Mail() Seen As Junk In Outlook
I am trying to set up a system that automatically sends out emails to subscribers. I am testing it on my system using my own email address as the recipient address.

Send Mail From Outlook Web Access
I've got RH9 Linux with default PHP. Is there a way to send email on Linux to an Exchange Server from PHP and/or other tools when there is *NOT* SMTP access? Has anyone figured out a way to use PHP to get inside an OWA (Microsoft Outlook Web Access) website to send email that way? The reason I ask is because my corporate office is going to do away with our rogue SMTP server access and force everything through Exchange Server. This makes it hard for our batch scripts on the Linux server to relay to internal email accounts that a job has failed or other errors.

Mail() To Outlook, No Carriage Returns
I'm sending normal text email, but in Outlook all the carriage returns are ignored. The text comes from MySQL database, and I've tried str_replace(" ", " ", $dr['email_template']); I also tried sending header Content-type: text/plain but still no luck, still the email comes through as one big line. I'm sure this must be a common thing but I can't immediately find an answer through Google.

Combination Of Outlook And Php - Create Stationery For MS Outlook Using PHP Engine
Some of my clients asked me to create "fancy emails" for them (aka html formatted emails). I know how to make a nice html document, but I had trouble creating a simple way to provide the document to my clients so that they could use it to. I know most of them use Outlook XP or Outlook 2003, so what I created was a page that creates a Visual Basic script that, when saved to the desktop and clicked (run), opens a message in outlook using the html provided.

$SMTP = Fsockopen(mail.example.org, 25);
I tried the following posted by Nickoons and get a parse error: unexpected T-string in this line - $SMTP = fsockopen("mail.example.org", 25); I had the same issue. My old server worked fine.. and when I migrated the site to its own dedicated box, this function stopped working even though sendmail was working just fine. I also noticed that PHP's mail() function is very slow. I run a mailing list, and I created a web-based system to manage and deploy all of these emails. I ended up creating my own function to replace PHP's mail() function, which A) works on my new system, and B) is many times faster than PHP's mail() function. Here it is, in case you'd like to use it. It uses sockets to connect directly to the SMTP server of your choice: function SendMail($ToName, $ToEmail, $FromName, $FromEmail, $Subject, $Body, $Header) { $SMTP = fsockopen("smtp.sitename.com", 25); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "HELO sitename.com"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "MAIL From: $FromEmail"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "RCPT To: $ToEmail"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "DATA"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "$Header"); fputs($SMTP, "From: $FromName <$FromEmail>"); fputs($SMTP, "To: $ToName <$ToEmail>"); fputs($SMTP, "Subject: $Subject"); fputs($SMTP, "$Body."); fputs($SMTP, "QUIT"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fclose($SMTP); } I believe I've modified the script sufficiently that it doesn't include anything specific to my configuration.. I apologize if I haven't. You'll need to replace "smtp.sitename.com" and "sitename.com" with your server's information.

How To Send Mail With SMTP
What I want to do, is create an email form, where the user can select emails by groups from a database. So based on what group the user selects, I'm guessing I'll use SQL select query to select the appropriate user emails and print them out to the address line of the form. But I need to know the actual coding for SMTP. Is it much more complicated than the mail() function?

Mail() And SMTP Authentication
It would seem BT Internet have just turned on SMTP mail authentication although they have been talking about it for years as I now get the following error message using the mail function on my local machine which worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email (known as SMTP authentication). For advice visit www.btyahoo.com/smtp or call 0800 328 9968 Needless to say "Advice" relates to Outlook Express and little else, certainly not PHP. Anyone know the changes I need to make and where, parameters for the mail() function or in the php.ini file perhaps. Naturally I know the information relating to mail username and password.

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.
