Mail() Function Isn't Sending The Email.
I've just built my first PHP form handler that will save the form data to a text file on my server and then email me an alert, but the Mail() function isn't sending me the email. I have set it to send to my gmail account but I don't receive it in my inbox or spam. How can I make it email me properly?

PHPMailer Vs Mail() Function
I am developing a simple mailing system. This requires sending emails in HTML format to one or more recipient. I am currently using PHP's mail() function. It works alright but it doesn't seem reliable. I am not able to send email to my hotmail account but it does send to yahoo account. I'm not sure if there is something about hotmail that blocks emails for some unknown reason. If it goes to yahoo, it must go to hotmail. it doesn't even appear on junk mail section of hotmail. so i'm thining if I use PHPMailer, will it solve this issue? what are your thoughts?

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?

Preparing An EMail And Sending It To A Mail Program
I am attempting to create an eMail but rather than send it I need to open it in the local eMail program (e.g. Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.). I am basically trying to do an extended version of an HTML mailto: tag. The idea is to have a button that will open up a new eMail message in the local eMail program with everything defined (cc, subject, and message) except for the recipient. The recipient information needs to be pulled from the local eMail program's address book. I have pretty much got it done except all of my spaces are plus signs (+) even after I have already urlencoded the information.

Mail() Function Problems - $form Variable Not Sending
Firstly, when trying to validate the e-mail address using what appears to be a more or less "standard" validation string, I find that a .co.uk address validates as expected. However, a .co.ukk address is also accepted as valid. I have tried putting different values at the end of the string [in place of the +$ bit] without success. Is this just one of those things I have to accept, or is there a way I can reject a .co.ukk [same problem with a .ac [.acc] etc]. Secondly in the "mail($to,$subject,$message,$from);" function. If I echo the variables after the message has been sent it appears that $to, $subject, $message and $from are all present and correct. However, whilst the other variables are being sent in the e-mail, the $from variable is not, and the e-mail appears to be coming from host@theirserver.com. I've been going "bog eyed" trying to find stupid mistakes but to no avail. What am I missing? <?php $to = "admin@mydomain.co.uk"; $subject = "E_mail message from website"; $from = "me@mydomain.com"; $address = "visitor@visitorsdomain.co.uk"; $message = "Test Message"; if (ereg('^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+$', $address)) { mail($to,$subject,$message,$from); $msg = "Message Sent"; } else { ?> <form action="javascript:history.back()" method="" name=""> <input name="Return" type="submit" value="Return"> </form> <?php $msg = "You have not entered a valid e-mail address <br> Please re-enter"; } echo "msg: ",$msg, "<br>"; echo "To: ",$to, "<br>"; echo "Subject: ",$subject, "<br>"; echo "From: ",$from, "<br>"; echo "Address: ",$address, "<br>"; echo "Message: ",$message, "<br>"; ?>

Email Forms Without MAIL( ) Function.
Several servers I have had my site hosted on took care of the technical details of email form submitting; I simply set the ACTION="http://MySite.MyDomain.Com". Now, my current host seems not to do this, or anything remotely like this. I have tried about 6 or 7 php scripts for email forms to no success, only error messages or nothing at all. I have read what I can find on this site here, as well as the About.com php tutorials and whatever else I can find. I think there is more I need to know about the server-side of things, such as where is the CGI-BIN directory, if there is one and if I need to use it; and also, Do I really need a Database and Tables just to send a simple form to email?. My host server claims to support php, and also I have available to me a php/MyAdmin/MySQL area, but I don't know how to use this. My host also has the Mail() function disabled to deter spammers apparently, and it seems to be this function which all the scripts I can find are using. How then, without using this Mail() function, can I have my contact form submitted and emailed to me?

PhpMailer Email Returns
I've got phpMailer rigged up to send out to a mail list (so far of only around 10,000). I sent a mailout to around 3000 properly formed but known to be dead email addresses to test how returns work with my code. When i send out the mails i send each mail individually in order to personalise them. Now this all works fine. The problem is if i send out 3000 dead emails i can get up to 5000 returns a lot simply identical duplicates(sometimes up to 10 of the same mail come back) surely this isn't right? So the question is could phpMailer be responsible for this? I'm really desperate to sort this out but i've got no idea what could be causing this. Could it simply be that the people i send to servers are sending back 10 mails?

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:
