note 106877 deleted from function.mail by crell

Note Submitter: debis at woh dot rr dot com ---- This is for Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0 with SMTP virtual server. The problem I had was not including init_set for the SMTP server, I thought the SMTP definition in the IIS SMTP virtual server configuration would work. When I sent mail manually this was not an issue. Also, $mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); wouldn't work but $mail_sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); did. Lack of date_default_timezone_set() only caused a warning because php guessed what it should be. This worked: <?php $to = 'nobody@example.com'; $subject = 'the subject'; $message = 'hello'; $headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); ini_set ( "SMTP", "smtp-server.example.com" ); date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); ?> And just so you can troubleshoot, this worked when sending mail from the command line/manually. CLI worked even though the php code without the init_set function wouldn't work. You will notice that the "rcpt to" and "to" fields appear redundant, but if both are not used, the delivered mail's "to" field will be blank/empty. ------------------------------- telnet www.example.com 25 helo mail from: webmaster@example.com rcpt to: someone@example.com data to: someone@example.com subject: test again to make sure this is my message . quit -----------------------------------
