#30237 [Fbk->Bgs]: Can't set full name on -f 5th mail parameter

ID: 30237 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: rtboon at xs4all dot nl -Status: Feedback +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Fedora 2 PHP Version: 5.0.1 New Comment: No bug here, you can not use -f to set a "realname", only an email address without spaces. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-26 02:26:14] rasmus@php.net Did you change the user your web server is running as? If so, you have to add this new user to sendmail's list of trusted users. Only a trusted user is allowed to set a -f ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-26 02:06:26] rtboon at xs4all dot nl Description: ------------ I'm not sure whether this is a sendmail or a PHP bug, but since PHP 5 my scripts fail where I use a 5'th argument like "-f George Bush <george@oil.com>" (pardon my politics :-) ) where "oil.com" would be my domain. I get errors now that Bush@oil.com is not a valid username. In PHP 4.2.3 this used to work. When I use "-f george@oil.com", everything is ok. I do not use safe mode, nor any settings in php.ini. Reproduce code: --------------- mail( "me@where_ever.org", "Vote me!", "said it...", "From: George Bush <george@oil.com>\r\n", "-f George Bush <george@oil.com>" ); Expected result: ---------------- A mail with in the header: Return-path: George Bush <george@oil.com> Actual result: -------------- In my sendmail log: Bush@oil.com is an unknown user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30237&edit=1
