#25344 [Opn->Csd]: regular domain 'localhost.com' used in php.ini

ID: 25344 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: arzie at gmx dot de -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Win32 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Changed to "me@example.com" and commented the option out. (people REALLY should modify php.ini :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-01 10:46:56] arzie at gmx dot de 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25344&edit=1
