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:

Images Shown In Outlook Express But Not In Outlook 2003
I'm writing a php code to send email in mime format. All seams ok if I read the email with outlook express, or Thunderbird, or any webmail, but if I open the email with Outlook 2003, I can't see the images, I just see a small box (I send 1 image) with inside the path of the image.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

Php Mail Stopping After A Few Emails
I am trying to mass mail a newspaper with PHP mail. I am using a local SMTP server. I am trying to send 300 emails at one time (with a for loop i.e. sending the same email to the same recipient 300 times) but it only sends a few them, sometimes about 100, sometimes about 130 and so on.. 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!

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 #######################

HTML/Plaintext Emails Using Mail()
We currently have a script that sends out renewal emails to our customers, currently these are Plaintext emails, but we want to jazz them up a little and have HTML emails. In the emails I receive from other companies, I notice it's possible to offer an alternative plaintext version in the same email. We managed to do this for our mailing list, using dada mailing list. I'm not sure how I'd do it using php though. The manual doesn't have any hints when I look at mail(). After looking at the source from some of my received emails, it appears that it's done in the constuction of the message.
