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.

SMTP Server Response: 503 This Mail Server Requires Authentication
I get this any time I try to send an email to someone that IS NOT in the domain of the company: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 This mail server requires authentication when attempting to send to a non-local e-mail address. Please check your mail client settings or contact your administrator to verify that the domain or address is defined for this server. in corpevent.php on line 21 I have it setup like this (I removed the email address domain...but its correct in the code): // INI Settings // ini_set(sendmail_from,"info@domain.com"); ini_set(SMTP,"mail.domain.com"); ini_set(smtp_port,"25"); $headersĀ = "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"; $headers .= "From: info@domain.com"; $to = $_POST['txtEmail']; mail($to,"Your Email",$theEmail,$headers); Why am I not allowed to send an email to anyone that doesn't have a "domain.com" at the end of the email?

Authentication By The Server
I am attempting to discover the remote user for an INTRAnet site, but cannot see how to do this cleanly. It seems so simple, too... (IIS is NOT being used) ALL I need is the user ID that logged in; when they log into their workstation, that is good enough for this intranet set, and I am willing to believe who they say they are. I would like them to be automatically logged into the site using their ID (this part is simple, assuming, of course, I actually had the ID). For this application, I do not need to know, nor even care about, their password. But the problem comes when I try to GET the remote user ID. I realize that in theory I can use something an Apache module (like mod_auth_sspi), but these authenticate against the web server, which in this case is in the DMZ and ignorant of all other users. Simply getting the user name with PHP returns the user name that PHP is running as, which is exactly what I do not want. I saw a brilliant hack that dug the user name out of NetBios in PHP, but naturally, NetBios is turned off. There seems to be ways to do this with .htaccess, but the users are stored in Active Directory. The goal here is that once the user is added to the AD, then they should have access to the intranet. I can actually handle the security settings from within the intranet via LDAP. That works like a champ. But it works because at that point I know the User ID. I want to figure out what the user ID is in the first place. So, using .htaccess is not really an acceptable solution. One suggestion made was to start IE with a .bat file that passes the user name as a parameter (i.e.; iexporer http://mysite.mydomain.com/login.php?login=%LOGINNAME% but this makes the user use a certain browser and click a certain link/icon.) I would like the server to be able to cope with this all by itself. It seems that no matter what direction I go, the door is closed. What is really frustrating is that it IIS does this out of the box! Switching to IIS is not an option.

SMTP Authentication & Mail()
Being able to send emails through PHP is a fundamental part of the site, so I've been searching around and trying to come up with some code to authenticate with the SMTP server to send the email. What I have at the moment is code found on the Internet to perform this task using the PEAR module. I assume this module is installed as the php.ini 'include_path' setting is c:php4pear. Code:

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.

I've posted my problem in an earlier thread and didn't get any luck.

Set Up PHP To Use Separate Mail Server

I have the email server IP, and name (for example, mail.mydomain.com), and I've tried configuring both web servers' php.ini file, to no avail. Can anyone assist me in this?

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?

HTTP Authentication .vs. Session Authentication
I am designing a PHP application (yes, I have investigated using existing applications). I cannot use HTTPS for reasons I shall not disclose. I must authenticate users against a database (MySQL) before granting them access. There are two methods I am considering: HTTP authentication, and session authentication. My webpage is spread across multiple scripts, and the user must not have to repeatedly reauthenticate him/herself. It does not matter, however, if the login session remains or is destroyed when the browser closes, although destruction is preferred. To my knowledge, PHP only supports Basic HTTP authentication. This would be easier, and if it matches session authentication in security, I would prefer to use it. Session authentication would be accomplished via a hashed password supplied in a form, sent via POST, after which the userid or another identifying piece of data would be stored in a session variable. My webserver does host other websites, and I cannot adjust its configuration. It seems to me, however, that Basic HTTP authentication sends the username and password in plaintext at the opening of every page. Is this true?

Connect To Pop3 Mail Server

Looking at the log for the mail server, I noticed the following lines at the beginning of each request: [Date / Time] CAPA [Date / Time] -ERR Unknown Command [Date / Time] AUTH [Date / Time] -ERR Unknown Command Could this be the reason that it takes so long to connect to the mail server? And if so is it possible to suppress certain commands sent to the server if they are not required? The PHP code I use to connect is simply: $mbox = imap_open ("{mailserver:110/pop3}INBOX", "username", "password"); And then imap_close($mbox); to clean up.
