If your system MTA is exim, you might find using it the following way gives you more control over
the message that is sent. It uses batch SMTP rather than the hideous "-t" sendmail-like
argument, and as a result allows the envelope and the headers to be specified seperately.
// recipient, subject, body, [ [ [ headers ], sender ], helo]
// bsmtp("recipient@address.com", "Subject", array("Line 1",
"Line 2"), array(), "sender@address.com", "host.address.com);
// OR
// bsmtp(array("recipient1@address.com", "recipient2@address.com),
"Subject", array("Line 1", "Line 2"), array(), "sender@addr$
function bsmtp($recipients, $subject, $body, $headers = array(), $sender= "<>",
$helo = "")
{
$exim = "/usr/local/sbin/exim -bS";
if ( $helo == "" )
{
$helo = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
}
if ( ! $headers )
{
if (is_array($recipients))
{
$c="To: ";
foreach ($recipients as $r)
{
$toheader .= $c . $r;
$c = ", ";
}
}
else
{
$toheader = "To: " . $recipients;
}
if ( ereg("@", $sender))
{
$fromheader = "From: " . $sender;
}
else
{
$fromheader = "From: <MAILER-DAEMON@" .
$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . ">";
}
$subj = "Subject: " . $subject;
$headers = array($toheader, $fromheader, $subj);
}
$headers[] = "X-Mailer: Dave's better php mail function";
print "<PRE>";
$fd = popen($exim, "w");
fputs($fd, "HELO " . $helo . "\n");
fputs($fd, "MAIL FROM: " . $sender . "\n");
if (is_array($recipients))
{
foreach ($recipients as $r)
{
fputs($fd, "RCPT TO: " . $r . "\n");
}
}
else
{
fputs($fd, "RCPT TO: " . $recipients . "\n");
}
fputs($fd, "DATA\n");
foreach ( $headers as $h )
{
fputs($fd, $h . "\n");
}
fputs($fd, "\n");
foreach ( $body as $b )
{
fputs($fd, $b . "\n");
