Bug #12335 Updated: mail() function returns false but the email was sent.

ID: 12335 User updated by: sascha.winkler@ks.sel.alcatel.de Reported By: sascha.winkler@ks.sel.alcatel.de Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Sun Solaris 2.6 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I had a look on the mail.c sourcecode and I made a change. So I found the part where the error appears. But I do not know why, in version 4.0.4pl1 it is the same code and with this version it works. This is the extract from mail.c where the error appears: ret = pclose(sendmail); #if definded (EX_TEMPFAIL) if ((ret != EX_OK)&&(ret != EX_TEMPFAIL)) { #else if (ret != EX_OK) { #endif return 0; } else { return 1; } If I change the 0 to 1 than I get true as response of the mail() function. So what could be the problem with EX_OK and EX_TEMPFAIL that the same if query is working in 4.0.4pl1 and not in 4.0.6? Who is EX_OK and EX_TEMPFAIL defined? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-30 01:42:49] sascha.winkler@ks.sel.alcatel.de This was a misunderstanding. I have the problems with version 4.0.6. But this machine is not on the internet. Because it's our testmachine. Our livesystem thats on the internet has version 4.0.4 and we want to update this machine to 4.0.6 but we can't do that as long as we have the problem with the mail function. The both systems are exactly the same. I wrote this only to explain why I can't put the test script on the internet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-27 13:27:28] sniper@php.net So which version of PHP are you using? In your comments you say 4.0.4 but in the headers there is 4.0.6?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-25 02:55:32] sascha.winkler@ks.sel.alcatel.de I can't put this script to the internet, because I test it only on a fallback server that is currently not avaliable via the internet. On our live system that is in the internet we still use an older version (4.0.4), because of the problem with the mail() function in version 4.0.4. Some more information: I use the sendmail wrapper from qmail. In the php.ini file the I have made the following entry: sendmail_path = "/usr/lib/sendmail -t" To update apache to the new php version I replaced only the libphp4.so file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-24 17:41:53] andy@php.net Since everybody else that has tried this says it works fine, can you put this script on the internet so that I can see this happen? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-24 08:49:13] andy@php.net works fine on RH Linux 7. Can anybody with Solaris reproduce this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
