#14954 [Com]: Warning: Server Error with mail() function

ID: 14954 Comment by: kraj@illumen.com Reported By: jberall@yahoo.com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Make sure that you have set the sendmail_from variable in php.ini to a user which is allowed to send mail in the SMTP server. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-23 19:46:28] mwilmes@avc.edu I'm on an SMTP system where in order to send out email, there must either be a recipient on that SMTP server, or you must authenticate your username and password to the server in order to use it. The line mail("mwilmes@avc.edu", "the know","I suck"); works, but the line mail("dingbat@yahoo.com", "the down","I suck"); kicked back the error: Warning: Server Error in C:\Apache2\htdocs\foobar.php on line xxx My php.ini: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP=mail.avc.edu ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from=mwilmes@avc.edu ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: 'sendmail -t -i'). ;sendmail_path= I wrote a program to intercept the messages being sent to and from my SMTP server. The php engine was denied because I wasn't authenticated as a email user to the server. As long as someone @avc.edu is in the recipient line, the server works. Only when there is no one in avc.edu and i don't authenticate, I get the boot. Hope this helps, Mike Wilmes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 01:00:08] php-bugs@lists.php.net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is being suspended automatically.
