#23205 [NEW]: Sending mail via SMTP-Auth fails

From: shabeker at siof dot cl Operating system: Windows XP/2000 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: PEAR related Bug description: Sending mail via SMTP-Auth fails I downloaded the latest pear package via cli\php -n -r "include 'http://go-pear.org';" but still got problems sending mail with SMTP authentification. With my Sniffer I get the following conversation between web server and mail server: 220 mymail.server.cl ESMTP Server (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service 5.5.2656.59) ready EHLO localhost 250-mymail.server.cl Hello [SEB] 250-XEXCH50 250-HELP 250-ETRN 250-DSN 250-SIZE 0 250-AUTH LOGIN 250 AUTH=LOGIN AUTH LOGIN 334 ********** **************** 334 ************ ******** 235 LOGIN authentication successful EHLO localhost 503 Bad Sequence HELO localhost 503 Bad Sequence From what I understand of the SMTP protocol, after the 235 should come the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO, but not again an EHLO. PEAR doesn't output any error message related to that, only that: Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in C:\php\pear\Net\SMTP.php on line 697 But that seems to be another problem not related to my problem. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23205&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23205&r=gnused
