Hi, I recently had a flame-like discussion about the mail() function in a mailing list. One guy says that mail($to,"blubb",$somemessage,"From: xyz <xyz@bla.de>\r\n"); would be more standard (in the sense of those RfCs) than a mail($to,"blubb",$somemessage,"From: xyz <xyz@bla.de>\n"); My argumentation was that mail() doesn't make a dialog with the SMTP server itself (with HELO, MAIL FROM etc.) but only opens a connection to the MTA that is configured in the php3.ini (like sendmail, or qmail-inject etc.) Additionally, I browsed through mail.c in the PHP3 source code and saw that mail.c also only uses "\n" when pumping the data to sendmail. Who is right? me or the guy? -- Björn Schotte Fon: 0931 / 78 43 79 2 <http://www.php-center.de/> Fax: 0931 / 78 43 79 5 <http://www.web-cards.de/>
