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?

Outlook Chopping Href Tags In Html Mail
I have been trying to send a multipart text and html message through the mail() funciton. It works beautifully with Hotmail. However, when it is received by the IceWarp web-based mail server or by Outlook, some of the HTML is hacked out. Specifically, on href tags, look like this when viewing the source: <a href=ttp://.... It also chops off the last character of the url and the quote before the end ">" on the tag. I can't figure out what is happening ....

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. The image is embedded in the message, it's not a link. <?php $header = "From: Sender <sen...@domain.org>"; $header .= "CC: Altro Ricevente <blabla...@domain.net>"; $header .= "X-Mailer: Our Php"; $boundary = "==String_Boundary_x" .md5(time()). "x"; $boundary2 = "==String_Boundary2_y" .md5(time()). "y"; $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/related;"; $header .= " type="multipart/alternative";"; $header .= " boundary="$boundary";"; $messaggio = "If you read this, your email client doesn't support MIME"; $message .= "--$boundary"; $messag .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;"; $message .= " boundary="$boundary2";"; $message .= "--$boundary2"; $message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1""; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"; $message .= "Alternative message in plain text format."; $message .= "--$boundary2"; $message .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1""; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";.....

Sending Mail: Choice Between Sending Receipt, Or HTML Formatting
I'm using PHP's mail function to send out a message via email. I would like for this email message to send a receipt when read as well as send an HTML formatted email. Both aspects are important to me. I know this is a product of the mail header. This is the format I currently have: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Disposition-Notification-To: name<email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8"); This prompts the email program to send a reciept, but the email message is not in the HTML format, and even contains "Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8" at the top of the body. If I switch the order to this format: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8 Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>"); This sends the email with HTML formatting but does not prompt the sending of the receipt. I also get "Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>" at the top of the email message. This tells me there is a problem in the transition between the headers, which currently is "". What am I doing wrong?

Sending Html Mail
A client wants to send out a mail in html including graphics. The idea is that it looks like a personalised coupon that they can print off.

Should the images be sent as attachments and simply referenced in the html or am I completely off track here? --

Mail Form Not Sending Mail - Server2003
I am trying to test a simple feedback form. I have php 5.0.3.3 on my dev Windows server 2003. SMTP is working fine, as we all use it to send mail from. PHP works fine as well, but I just cant get mail sent by php, although no errors are reported. Do I understand it correctly that this simple script should send me a mail? This is just to test that it works. <?php mail('me@whatever.com', 'My Subject', 'message'); header( "Location: http://webserver/message_sent.htm" ); ?> Okay, the " Location: http://webserver/message_sent.htm" comes up fine, and "<?php phpinfo() ?>" also works fine. SMTP allows relay from my subnet and does not need authentication.

Mail() / Sendmail Sending Mail As Spam
Wondering if anybody knows why when sending mail through my local sendmail program using the PHP mail() function; emails either do not reach the destination, or register as spam? Prime example is: h0tm@il addresses never receive the email, gmail addresses consider the email to be spam, and my workplace receive the email about 1 hour after the program finishes. Could it be a problem with my ISP? I am using Fedora Core 6, PHP 5 and Apache 2. Or test it yourself.. just fill out the form with some rubbish and it should send an email saying you've registered.. maybe you can figure out where I am going wrong by looking at the headers? http://aaronweb.no-ip.com:6969/?p=2

Sending Mail To Hotmail Using The Mail() Function
I have been doing some research into how to send mail to a Hotmail address using the mail() function provided in PHP, in previous posts I may have been wrong in mentioning that you need to add your mail server to the hotmail PostMaster website using Smart Network Data Services (SNDS), after doing some research I have found that in order to send e-mail to a Hotmail address you need to add/ask your host to add an SPF record to your domain. What is SPF? Well, SPF is a protocol used to eliminate forged e-mails, much like SSL certificates help eliminate phising websites. Microsoft use the SPF record against the SenderID Framework that they have in place. How do I go about obtaining an SPF Record? Easy! use the Microsoft wizard found at: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/ to generate a unique SPF record for your domain, then add it to your DNS server, or ask your web host to do this. I manage my own DNS server, how do I add an SPF record to a domain? To begin, open the DNS MMC from the Administrative Tools menu of your Windows Server 2003 system. Next, find the domain that will host the SPF DNS lookup record. Highlight the folder for the domain, and select Other New Records from the Action menu. You can also access this menu by right-clicking the domain folder. The resource Record Type dialog box will be displayed. From the Select a Resource Record Type area of the screen, scroll down the list and select Text (TXT) from the list. Click Create Record. This will bring up the New Resource Record dialog box to appear. This is where you paste the SPF record generated by the above website ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this helps, I have tried it myself and e-mails went straight to my inbox (not junk mail). Would also appreciate feedback if this works for other providers such as Yahoo! etc as I have not tried it with them Give me your feedback on how it works for you, also if it works possibly make this thread sticky as I'm sure it will resolve many problems for people out there who are denying access to people who have public email addresses.

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?

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.

Sending Mail In PHP
I have a few sections on my site that send me email when a user submitts various forms. I use the mail() function. This is an example: $sendto = "me@mysite.com"; $email = "replay@mysite.com"; $message = "Message from user."; $subject = "Website Feedback - " . date("m/d/y"); $headers = "From: "Online-Website-Feedback" <****@mysite.com>"; $headers .= "Reply-To: $email"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"; $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit;"; $headers .= stripslashes($input); $headers .= ""; mail($sendto, $subject, $message, $headers); For some reason though not all emails are sent to me. I setup a little database action that everytime a user views my feedback form it adds to the database that a use viewed the form at this time. Then I set it so whenever a user submits the form it adds his info to the database, emails me, and adds to the database that a user submitted the form. So I have a few inserts in my database that say a few people have submitted the form, but I have no email from my site about their feedback. I was curious if the mail() function is a good function to use or if there is a better way to send mail. I am also using this function for order confirmations with my shopping cart and if some emails arent being sent that will give me problems down the road with orders not being completed. So in basic terms what is the easiest, most secure, most reliable way of sending email from a website in php?
