Setting Up Mail Server
I am setting up a webpage which needs scripts to access Merak Mail server. i need these scripts to create and delete accounts and domains in the mail server. I know the commands to do what i want, thing is i don't know how to implement these commands in php.
basicaly when a user comes to my site, i want them to fill in any email address, and there pop mail settings. and whatever they enter in i want that information to be created in merak. what i need to know is how can i do this with php.
----creates a user in Merak Mail server-----
Lets add a new user with the name John Doe, alias john, mailbox john and password secret into the domain icewarp.com. You do not need to specify the domain name if it is a primary domain.
users -a -ujohn@icewarp.com -mjohn -psecret -n"John Doe"
-------------------------------------------------------
the above command creates the user... but how with php can i implement this.?
i have a basic understanding of programming and know this is a very simple script but i don't know where to start.

Setting Up SMTP Server And Mail()
I've never seen a clear and useful post about setting up an SMTP server and getting the mail function to work properly. Some info about my system: Windows XP Home (SP2) Apache 2.0.XX PHP 5 MySQL 4.1 ActivePerl 5.8.7 (If anyone knows how to set this up with apache, please send me a pm, thanks) I'd really like if someone could post a few links or someinfo on how to set up php's mail stuff From what responses I've gotten in the past, I think I need an SMTP server installed on my computer, when I googled, the only results that I seemed to get were servers I would have to pay for. I'd also like to know about configuring PHP's mail functions (php.ini options) so that it will work corectly.....

Setting Up Mail With PHP
I am using a PHP template for a classifieds site. I edited the config file, and it will not send verification emails, and if I try to send an email to a poster, that email does not arrive either. Here are the snippets of the config file that I think are the most relevant. What format should I put the email address in? What part of the system is actually sending the email (i know, i am new at this, please forgive me) the text you see are the placeholders given. // Site email address $site_email = "site@localhost"; // From address to use for mails sent using the contact form $contactmail_from = "forward@localhost";

Setting Server Variables
I'm trying to work on a project that involves adding functionality to a website. They have it segmented so that most pages don't require any authentication but one directory (used for all intranet pages) uses a .htaccess file to authenticate users through an LDAP server. From there, all the pages in that directory look for $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] to get the username and populate the page with the proper information. The problem is that I'm not allowed to use their development environment, including the LDAP server. I got their site up and running on my local box (sans LDAP) and thought that maybe I could work around the authentication by deleting the .htaccess file and creating a fake login page that simply asks for a username and populates $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']. This doesn't work at all. After populating it and redirecting to another page, $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] does not appear to be populated. So, I guess my question is can I set $_SERVER variables, does this seem like it should work, or do I have to try and set up an LDAP server?

Mail() Is Not Setting Up Headers Correctly
mail() is not placing the headers data in the headers section of the message, but instead in the body. I took the code straight out of the php.net manual.

(Also Eudora is not reading the From header, when I click reply the To: is blank...)

Setting Include_path On Shared Server
My shared host used to have Php configured such that I could place a php.ini file into any directory on my site and that was the php.ini file that the Php cgi would use when it ran scripts. Since upgrading to Php5.1 that is no longer possible (not allowed in Php5.1 (?) ). Anyway, ... this was a very handy way for me to set the include path so that I could keep files with sensitive data (e.g., database usernames, passwords) out of the site's public path. My hosting service has actually rolled back to Php5.0 so that I could continue doing as I had been ... with the caveat that they will ultimately have to go with 5.1. So, I have a set of questions. 1. Is there another way that I can set the include path globally for my site? (Adding them to htaccess throws a 500 server error.) 2. How much security is really gained by moving sensitive include files out of the site path (my include files all use the .php extension)? Should I even be that concerned about this capability? 3. Would I gain the same security if I changed my current include files (which I would have to put back into the public site path) to do nothing but set include_path outside the public site and then include a new, secondary file which actually contains the sensitive data? 4. Does anyone know why I *can* use local php.ini files in 5.01 and not in 5.1?

Trouble Setting Mail() Return Path - Defaults To Apache?

Domains and email addresses have been altered: $headers = "From: Name <'mail@mail.com'>"; $headers .= "Reply-To: Name <'mail@mail.com'>"; $headers .= "Return-Path: Name <'mail@mail.com'>"; $headers .= "Message-ID: <".$now."TheSystem@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion()"; Is it possibly a setting in php.ini that is restricting the mail function headers to be changed?

CURL - Setting Up A Cron Job To Auto Transfer Things To Another Server

Are there any issues that would cause the transfer to slow down, or cause problems - IF - there's a lot of data to transfer? I know this is a broad question, because I'm just looking for any possible hiccups when I initiate the curl statements. Hiccups that I may not know about, or understand. Anything that may involve timeouts, or the like. I don't expect any particular answer, but I'd like any thoughts that may help me keep my data flowing smoothly.

Set Up PHP To Use Separate Mail Server

Mail Server Authentication
There seems to be a lot of white noise in trying to understand SMTP that requires authentication when searching the newsgroups via Google Groups or searching the PHP.net website. The PHP fsockopen API's notes on php.net provide the routine to connect, unauthenticated, to send messages. But if you need authentication, people want you to download their class or check the PEAR. Some websites even want your email address or some registration process to check out the file, but I don't play that game. Anyway, these methods will work, but here's the short of it... After the HELO initial acknowledgement, do the following. (Translate the pseudocode to PHP.) 1. Send "AUTH LOGIN " 2. Did you get message 334 back? If not, then server doesn't support authentication. Break. 3. Send base64_encode($user) 4. Did you get message 334 back? If not, then server doesn't support that username. Break. 5. Send base64_encode($pass) 6. Did you get 235 back? If not, then server doesn't support that password. Break. 7. Proceed now with MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, DATA, etc.

Using Different Server To Send Mail..
My mail server has been blocked by a couple free e-mail providers namely Hotmail because my boss sent out an e-mail from the server to 3,000+ e-mails. Now I'm coming up with a solution so that we can continue to send e-mail to our users and new users. I've set up a new domain on a different server but I'm trying to figure out the best way to send mail from the new server. My site sends out e-mails during user registration and few other functions. How should I send the info to the new server so that it will send out e-mails? For example, the website is SOMEDOMAIN.com, our new server set up soley for sending mail is SOME-DOMAIN.com. I'm thinking of adding a record to the database on SOME-DOMAIN.com any time an e-mail needs to be sent. But then how do I remotely call the script to actually send the mail. I can pass some info through the URL but should I use cURL to access the script?
