Bug #15373 Updated: mail() not working, no error with invalid SMTP or email address

ID: 15373 Updated by: alonso@loquequeda.com Reported By: alonso@loquequeda.com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: win2000 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I have finally tested with php 4.2.1 and php4-win32-latest-zip and both work the same. They do not send the email and always immediately return 1. Script: ini_set("SMTP","shouldfail"); echo mail("alonso@xxx.net","test","hola"); returns "1" Using a correct SMTP also returns "1" and doesn't send the email. I have found no way of sending the email except installing php 4.0.6 which does work. You said "Error reporting has been improved", how do I use this improved error reporting?

I can receiving email but i can´t sending with smtp. The smtp server ist correct. I tryed any variations in the config.php but it still doesn´t work. My server is a Apache. I have read in the phpinfo.php on my server that´s the with=smtp registry not exist. So i have downloaded the Ubeumiau-Php mail-script. It doesn´t work again. It was the same problem. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME... Greetings from Berlin jam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-04 21:16:26] alonso@loquequeda.com I mean 4.10 and 4.1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-04 21:15:43] alonso@loquequeda.com I just tried php 4.0.6 in same machine and it now gives errors when incorrect smtp. And guess what: it sends emails too when smtp is correct! So this is a problem in 4.1.0 and 4.1.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-04 21:00:22] alonso@loquequeda.com I moved a program from winnt4 php 4.0.6 to win2000 php 4.1.1 and now mail doesn't work. In fact no matter what I put in SMTP in php.ini or if the email address is correct, mail() always returns 1. Always, immediately returns 1. It never sends emails even with correct parameters and SMTP. If it at least gave an error I would know why it doesn't work. I tried 4.1.0 and is same thing. OS is win2000 fresh install with IIS5. Webserver is Apache but php.exe works the same way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15373&edit=1
