Bug #1321: A failed mail() makes the PHP go in an endless loop sending mails

From: christian@factory.dk Operating system: WinNT 4.0 PHP version: 3.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: A failed mail() makes the PHP go in an endless loop sending mails Here is a example script for the bug: <html><head><title>Untitled</title></head> <body> <? mail("christian@factory", "This is the subject", "This is the body\n", "From: christian@factory.dk"); ?> It's done it again </body> </html> I'm trying to send an email to a non existing domain "factory" instead of "factory.dk". The PHP script apparently goes crazy and try sending the mail again every minute for a couple of days... Our mailsystem sends the sender and error message every times. With a thousand sendings a day the system returns thousan error messages a day.
