note 75708 added to ref.mail

Having beaten my head against an MCSE for several days over my need for a mail form and his need for "heightened security for IIS" I finally managed to get a working authentication model for Exchange 2003. (note: this will ONLY relay mail to actual users of the Exchange server. i.e. registered email address) <? function authMail($from, $namefrom, $to, $nameto, $subject, $message) { /* your configuration here */ $smtpServer = "mail.yourdomain.com"; //ip accepted as well $port = "25"; // should be 25 by default $timeout = "30"; //typical timeout. try 45 for slow servers $username = "webform"; //the login for your smtp $password = "passhere"; //the pass for your smtp $localhost = "127.0.0.1"; //this seems to work always $newLine = "\r\n"; //var just for nelines in MS $secure = 0; //change to 1 if you need a secure connect /* you shouldn't need to mod anything else */ //connect to the host and port $smtpConnect = fsockopen($smtpServer, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); if(empty($smtpConnect)) { $output = "Failed to connect: $smtpResponse"; return $output; } else { $logArray['connection'] = "Connected to: $smtpResponse"; } //say HELO to our little friend fputs($smtpConnect, "HELO $localhost". $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['heloresponse'] = "$smtpResponse"; //start a tls session if needed if($secure) { fputs($smtpConnect, "STARTTLS". $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['tlsresponse'] = "$smtpResponse"; //you have to say HELO again after TLS is started fputs($smtpConnect, "HELO $localhost". $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['heloresponse2'] = "$smtpResponse"; } //request for auth login fputs($smtpConnect,"AUTH LOGIN" . $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['authrequest'] = "$smtpResponse"; //send the username fputs($smtpConnect, base64_encode($username) . $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['authusername'] = "$smtpResponse"; //send the password fputs($smtpConnect, base64_encode($password) . $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['authpassword'] = "$smtpResponse"; //email from fputs($smtpConnect, "MAIL FROM: $from" . $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['mailfromresponse'] = "$smtpResponse"; //email to fputs($smtpConnect, "RCPT TO: $to" . $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['mailtoresponse'] = "$smtpResponse"; //the email fputs($smtpConnect, "DATA" . $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['data1response'] = "$smtpResponse"; //construct headers $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $newLine; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . $newLine; $headers .= "To: $nameto <$to>" . $newLine; $headers .= "From: $namefrom <$from>" . $newLine; //observe the . after the newline, it signals the end of message fputs($smtpConnect, "To: $to\r\nFrom: $from\r\nSubject: $subject\r\n$headers\r\n\r\n$message\r\n.\r\n"); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['data2response'] = "$smtpResponse"; // say goodbye fputs($smtpConnect,"QUIT" . $newLine); $smtpResponse = fgets($smtpConnect, 4096); $logArray['quitresponse'] = "$smtpResponse"; $logArray['quitcode'] = substr($smtpResponse,0,3); fclose($smtpConnect); //a return value of 221 in $retVal["quitcode"] is a success return($logArray); } ?> Obviously this function can be expanded upon, and adding attachments should be no real issue based on code found on this page. For me the authentication was the goal; while I had seen many scripts offering it, none seemed to work.
