New Comment:
can we at least just implement stripping of leading and trailing white
space on what is extracted from the headers? (as that'll fix 35013).

See also bug #35013, one more way how headers are parsed wrong.

See also bug #32600 (rpath set wrong too)

The above patch is wrong. Only acceptable form for RCPT TO:
is:
RCPT TO:<mailbox@example.com>
Notice the brackets. Do not confuse yourself with RFC2822..
It does not obsolete 2821 as it talks about different thing.
So the fix is to drop the outside brackets stuff out of the addresses.

Here's a possible patch for it. It's pretty simplistic, bit it should
work:

NOTE: I haven't actually *tested* this, it may not even compile. If it
doesn't, please send me a note and I'll try to fix it.

Description:
------------
In windows, and using an SMTP server, when you try to send a mail using
the mail function the SMTP transaction will fail if you include
recipient names.
When including any recipient header in the following format (wich
follows the RFC 2822), the mail function does not handle it properly:
To: User Name <address@example.com>
Cc: Other User <other@example.net>
Bcc: Third User <third@example.org>
Loking at the SMTP transaction, the PHP mail layer sends this RCPT
commands wich do not folow the SMTP standard stated on RFC 2821:
RCPT TO:<User Name <address@example.com>>
RCPT TO:<Other User <other@example.net>>
RCPT TO:<Third User <third@example.org>>
Fails always with this environments:
Tested on Windows XP, Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.6 (Also in 4.3.4)
Tested also on Windows 2000, IIS, PHP 4.3.6
Tested Using SMTP servers on Linux with Exim and Sendmail.
Tested also using the default Windows 2000 SMTP server.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// SAMPLE 1:
$to_recipient = "User Name <address@example.com>";
$header = "Cc: Other User <other@example.net>\r\n";
$header .= "Bcc: Third User <third@example.org>\r\n";
mail($to_recipient, $subject, $body, $header);
// FAILS with SMTP errors for all three recipients.
SAMPLE 2:
$to_recipient = "address@example.com";
$header = "To: User Name <recipient@example.com>\r\n";
$header .= "Cc: Other User <other@example.net>\r\n";
$header .= "Bcc: Third User <third@example.org>\r\n";
mail($to_recipient, $subject, $body, $header);
FAILS on with SMTP error on the three recipients passed on the $header
field.
Expected result:
----------------
Expected that the mail layer exctracts only the mail address from
recipients to send the SMTP commands:
As seen on the RFC's 2821 and 2822, when sending a mail with the
recipient headers formed like above, it is expected the mail layer to
extract ONLY the email address to send the RCPT commands, and pass the
headers without any change in the DATA command during the SMTP
transaction. Example of the correct SMTP transaction for the above
headers:
RCPT TO:<address@example.com>
RCPT TO:<other@example.net>
RCPT TO:<third@example.org>
DATA
To: User Name <address@example.com>
Cc: Other User <other@example.net>
Bcc: Third User <third@example.org>
Actual result:
--------------
You get that error for all recipients with the recipient name:
Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 <SomeOne Name
<someone@example.com>>: "@" or "." expected after "SomeOne"
in
mail.class.php on line 333
This error is produced when the mail layer is sending a wrong formed
RCPT TO: command in the SMTP transaction.
