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

ID: 23205 User updated by: shabeker at siof dot cl Reported By: shabeker at siof dot cl Status: Open Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Windows XP/2000 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: Well, I digged a little into the topic and found out that there's another $this->_negotiate() after the successful authentication producing the second EHLO command. Regarding the SMTP.php code comment this is required by RFC-2554, but I don't see much sense in it and seems Microsoft doesn't either, so could there be a flag to suppress this second EHLO? I put it in a comment and all worked fine. Searching in Google I found someone else with the same problem that did the same to solve it, on de.comp.lang.php in the thread "mail() mit Hamster?" from 2002-10-03. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-14 11:07:01] shabeker at siof dot cl 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23205&edit=1
