PHP 4.0 Bug #5113: Mail() function doesn't accept multiple recipients.

From: bjarne.ingelsson@enator.se Operating system: Win2000 PHP version: 4.0 Release Candidate 2 PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: Mail() function doesn't accept multiple recipients. PHP Version 4.0.0. When sending mail to more than one recipient (comma separated) all recipients are sent,comma separated, in just one SMTP: "RCPT TO" message. The mailserver responds with "553 Invalid Address Syntax" and the mail of course fails. There should be only one recipient in a RCPT TO message. So when sending to several, the correct way of doing this should be to send several RCPT TO messages with one recipient in each. Example: $To = "someone@thecompany.com,anotherone@thecompany.com"; mail($To,$Subject,$Msg,$Headers); The SMTP will look like this: RCPT TO: someone@thecompany.com,anotherone@thecompany.com and should look like this: RCPT TO: someone@thecompany.com RCTP TO: anotherone@thecompany.com The problem doesn't exist in PHP3.0.16. /Bjarne
