Status: Feedback
Bug Type: Mail related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 4.1.2
Assigned To: yohgaki
New Comment:
mail() is NOT the all-in-one solution, nor is it really platform
compatible. In fact, win32/mail() is a completely different kind of
story (using native socket interface to talk to sendmail daemon on port
25) then on unix (calling another executeable and exchanging data)

My phpinfo() says:
sendmail_path /usr/bin/sendmail -t -i
I'm running a vanilla qmail installation.
The mail() function works fine... it passes to the MTA whatever data
the user supplies for headers, with whatever line breaks the user
supplied.
The problem is that the line breaks should be unix-style on a Unix
system. But they need to be DOS-style on Windows. This creates a
portability issue for PHP scripts.
See my comment of 6 Mar 2:58pm for an example of the problem when using
DOS-style line breaks on a Unix system.

I looked for CRLF in source, but I cannot find CRLF with quick glance
of current CVS source.
It seems mail.c is not converting LF to CRLF.
Are you using qmail-inject or qmail sendmail wrapper?
I don't have any problem with qmail-inject nor qmail's sendmail
wrapper.

I would be VERY nice if PHP would at least have the option of sending
mail using SMTP when running under Unix. It seems silly to support the
option only when running under Windows, especially when the code is
already written.

ok
1) blame qmail, it should know better ...
2) lets have SMTP as a default implementation
for Unix mail(), too, instead of relying
on external programs
the "it isn't broken, so don't fix it" argument
got even weaker right now ...
