Mail Function Sends Backslashes
I have a contact page that uses the mail function, and whenever a message is sent, anything that should be ignored by using the backslash still upholds. For example, an e-mail I would get could say "I didn/'t do it." instead of "I didn't do it.". Is there any way to fix this?

Mail Function Sends To Gmail But Not Hotmail.
Can anyone tell me what the requirements are to allow hotmail to collect messages. I have a script using the mail function at the moment that emails most email clients but the email doesn't seem to be accepted by hotmail. It email doesn;t even go into the junk box. Please help, The code: ini_set(sendmail_path, "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f webmaster@domain.com"); //Contents of an Registration Auto responce email(text format) $message = "Thanks for registering".$userName; $headers .= "From: Name<webmaster@domain.com> "; $headers .= "Reply-To: <webmaster@domain.com> "; $headers .= "X-Sender: <webmaster@domain.com> "; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP4 "; //mailer $headers .= "X-Priority: 3 "; //1 UrgentMessage, 3 Normal $headers .= "Return-Path: <webmaster@domain.com> "; mail($email,"Registration ",wordwrap(stripslashes($message)),$headers);

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:

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.

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.

Getting Multiple Emails From A Single Mail()...
I found an old thread on this (http://groups.google.com/group/alt.php/ browse_thread/thread/751edb9c723316c4/ea9bf92a9c6b807c?lnk=gst&q=mail() +duplicate&rnum=7#ea9bf92a9c6b807c), but there didnt seem to be a resolution. I also noticed that this was a pretty old thread and there didn't seem to be anything newer in the search results. Regardless, I have a very similar problem; I am consistently getting five emails per each PHP mail() call. While this originally showed up in a loop generating a flood of email, I explicitly made a single direct mail call using hard coded strings and I confirmed the same behavior. I have spent most of today fighting with this and I can confidently rule out that the mail() function is being accidentally called multiple times (unless PHP is reloading the page multiple times before finally rendering back or something else really bizarre) Here is an example: $result = mail($sendto, $subject, $messagebody, $headers); If it matters, this is being called via a wrapper function, like this: function send_email($email_from, $email_to, $subject, $msg, $show_result = null) { ... $headers = "From: $from "; $headers .= "Reply-To: $from "; ... $result = mail($sendto, $subject, $messagebody, $headers); ... } The values of the vars don't matter, as I ran a very simple mail with hard coded strings and got exactly the same behavior. I have searched extensively and I cant seem to find anything that specifically nails down why this might happen. For those interested in the mail headers generated by a single mail() call, here is what I get (some data scrubbed out): ######################## Received: from crazycooter [67.110.67.194] by XXXXX.marketnet.com (SMTPD-9.10) id A208038C; Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:25:28 -0500 Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:25:17 -0500 Subject: Subject To: YYYYY.ZZZZZ@MarketNet.com From: AAAAA.BBBBB@MarketNet.com Reply-To: AAAAA.BBBBB@MarketNet.com Message-Id: <200708011225863.SM03756@crazycooter> X-RCPT-TO: <YYYYY.ZZZZZ@MarketNet.com> Status: X-UIDL: 471469545 X-IMail-ThreadID: c208071f0000b881 ######################## Received: from crazycooter [67.110.67.194] by XXXXX.marketnet.com (SMTPD-9.10) id A2020370; Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:25:22 -0500 Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:25:11 -0500 Subject: Subject To: YYYYY.ZZZZZ@MarketNet.com From: AAAAA.BBBBB@MarketNet.com Reply-To: AAAAA.BBBBB@MarketNet.com Message-Id: <200708011225800.SM02212@crazycooter> X-RCPT-TO: <YYYYY.ZZZZZ@MarketNet.com> Status: X-UIDL: 471469541 X-IMail-ThreadID: c20100e10000b872 #######################

Sends SMTP Mail From Database Info

Two of the selections in the dropdown list are groups. My script works fine when the user selects only one recipient. I run into trouble when the user selects one of the two groups. 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.

Then the php script stops, it doesn't even gives me an error. I tried several different SMTP servers. I tried the same script on a domain and it worked perfectly. I don't think that the problem is coming from the SMTP server as the script is not sending the 300 emails, it is stopping.

Mail() Duplicating Emails
I've got a nice email sending script that works a charm - except any email sent is sent twice, despite there only being a single call to the mail() function. It's a simple script, no loops that could have cause it to be called twice. Infact, it's a problem I'm having on two different scripts. Is there some horrible secret about mail() I should be aware of? Or does my server have a double-email complex? The actual code is: $recipient = 'contact@domain.com' $message = 'A message.' $message = wordwrap($message, 70); // Define Header $headers .= 'To: My Dear Friend <'. $recipient .'>' . ""; $headers .= 'From: My Dear Self <NOREPLY>' . ""; // Send mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers); (OK, so it's not the actual code, but for all intents and purposes it is)

Blank Emails Using Mail()
I've made an newsletter mailing system which should sent newsletters to my website's members using php mail function. It gets the mail data from an html file, the html file is generated using MS word(save as html). The mail is sent in Japanese Language(Shift_Jis). The html file is HUGE! 150 kb each, there are 5 such html files, the script gets email from database and sends data to the users. Problem is when the cron is executed i'm getting complains of blank mails the subject is okay but the body is blank. I tested the same function using a for loop sending me 25 mails, all mails were fine but the next day when cron was executed i also recieved a blank mail. i checked the message source in outlook express the last line is: Content-Type: text/html; charset=shift_jis which is of the header. Every time it sends a mail, i use a function to read the html file and return the data, is this slowing down the script and causing problems? The word generated html files have some headers of their own and i get an error saying "security settings may prohibit active x to run on this page , this page may not be displayed correctly": Whenever i test the same function it works fine but in actual execution blank mails are sent!
