#10182 [Com]: mail() $to parameter doesn't accept rfc822 style addresses

ID: 10182 Comment by: mbretter@jawa.at Reported By: apere@agilitime.com Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Any Windows PHP Version: CVS New Comment: the problem is, that the mail command itself adds < and > at the beginning and at the end of to-e-mail adress. if you have $to = '<mbretter@jawa.at>'; then implicit you have <<mbretter@inode.at>> and some mailservers don't like this.

I would *really* like to see integrated SMTP support in PHP on UNIX platforms. Keeping it Windows only seems silly. Yes, I know it's easy to code SMTP stuff in PHP, but as long as the code is there... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-02 11:15:39] mfischer@php.net Updated summary, Version, Status, OS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-22 18:47:06] hholzgra@php.net windows mail code *badly* needs a rewirte ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
