Bug #17322 Updated: mail() fails (501 Syntax Error) under latest CVS

ID: 17322 Updated by: chris@dvdplaza.com.au Reported By: chris@dvdplaza.com.au Status: Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-05-20 New Comment: We've beeen using the mail command in that fashion without problem since 4.0.6??? This is the first time I've had to touch the mail commands?!?!? It was working fine under 4.2.1, problem only started the second I upgraded to php 4.3.dev (which was purely for the cookie fix). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-21 04:49:54] mfischer@php.net First, the From: "DVD Plaza (Support)" <support@dvdplaza.com.au> syntax isn't supported on win32 and never was. Only addresses in the simple form of foo@bar.com are supported. Cay you try to revert to 4.2.1 and see if all emails get through at least ? But be aware that you need to use the ini setting "sendmail_from" in 4.2.1, From: in the header isn't support in this release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-21 04:39:01] chris@dvdplaza.com.au Forgot to mention that this error 9/10 causes the Apache child to exit and a new one to spawn and that occasionally an e-mail does get to its destination. Now, I made the change you requested and no more errors are appearing in the error log - HOWEVER it isn't working as you'd expect. Thus far out of around 30 or so refreshes I've only ended up with two e-mails plus the Apache child bombed out a couple of times and respawned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-21 01:52:06] mfischer@php.net Can you try instead of From: "DVD Plaza (Support)" <support@dvdplaza.com.au> just From: support@dvdplaza.com.au ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-20 22:57:55] chris@dvdplaza.com.au The simplest example would probably be the one below, since the addresses are all hardcoded (simply an auto-notification for myself) whereas all other mailings are obviously dynamic: mail('form@dvdplaza.com.au', 'Invite Issued To ' . $PlazaUser[username], 'An invite was just produced for: ' . $PlazaUser[username], 'From: "DVD Plaza (Support)" <support@dvdplaza.com.au>'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-20 19:09:31] mfischer@php.net Finally! You're the first who uses the updated win32/mail() code it seems. This error response you get seems really bogus. Can you try to cut down the *exakt* parameters you pass to the mail() function which causes this error? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
