#25344 [NEW]: regular domain 'localhost.com' used in php.ini

From: arzie at gmx dot de Operating system: Win32 PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Mail related Bug description: regular domain 'localhost.com' used in php.ini Description: ------------ php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended contain following bad line: sendmail_from = me@localhost.com The domain localhost.com is a regular registerd domain and shoud not be used as default from. You should change that line to: sendmail_from = me@example.com (see also RFC 2606) The main problem is, that some smtp server reject this 'from' because localhost.com and ghost.localhost.com (MX)gets resoved to 10.11.12.13 which is a LAN-IP Adress. Another problem are bounces caused by users passing a non existing email address to a web formular. I'm sure you can think of many more examples ;-) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25344&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25344&r=gnused
