function mail() + php + only problems + sendmail

[Jorge Rozas C.]

Hi Friends.

I viewed and reviewed all information about the script of php mail(), I did all the typical things about this function, put in php.ini


sendmail_path = /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
changed
sendmail_path= /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
changed
sendmail_path= /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
changed
sendmail_path= /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
changed
sendmail_path= /usr/sbin/sendmail


and restart the Apcache and Qmail, i did all possible combinations of the configuration

The problem is a one domain in my Plesk with this problem (a client)

nothing happened, the programmer sed to me I can´t send the Form mail in php.


Somebody could fix this thing or my next step is to give up.

Thanks.

The main idea is:

I have a client, he has a Web page in Flash with php, the problem is that he uses a function mail(), this function use sendmail application.

When use this function doesn´t work the typical form. i used all recommendations of the Forum to fix this problem , changed the sendmail_path, ussing the different paths to find the sendmail, but i didn´t get success.

i wrote to SWsoft and the sent me this

To set the correct headers for the Return-Path you need to use the code like below:

putenv ("QMAILUSER=USER");
putenv ("QMAILNAME=FULL_USER_NAME");
putenv ("QMAILHOST=DOMAIN");
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain;charset=us-ascii\r\n";
$headers .= "From: FULL_USER_NAME <USER@DOMAIN>";
$to="[email protected]";
$subject = "Testing email";
$body = "";
$err = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

In result mail will have FULL_USER_NAME<USER@DOMAIN> in Return-Path.


but i don´t what to do with this. give to the programmer or use by myself, becuase the programmer sed to me the problem is mine.

Thnaks for the help.

Use sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i in /etc/php.ini and show the example code to your client. However, I believe you need to use \n line endings with qmail instead of \r\n.

Yes, that's true. You can also find this in the mail() documentation on php.net.
