• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

MTA qmail, different email handling

Hi guys

I wrote a script which sends email from a form --> formmailer.

PHP:
<?php
$mdpass = "c003a894e29e413e42e1ac51527abc76";
if($_POST['sent'] == 2){
	if(md5($_POST['key']) == $mdpass){
		$emailsubject = stripslashes($_POST['emailsubject']);
		$emailmessage = stripslashes($_POST['emailmessage']);
		$emailheader = "From: ".$_POST['emailfromshowname']." < ".$_POST['emailfromaddress']." >\n"; 
		$emailheader .= "Reply-to: ".$_POST['emailfromshowname']." <".$_POST['emailfromaddress'].">\n"; 
		$emailheader .= "Reply-path: ".$_POST['emailfromshowname']." <".$_POST['emailfromaddress'].">\n"; 
		$emailheader .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; 
		$emailheader .= "Content-Type: text/plain\n"; 
		$emailheader .= "X-Sender: ".$_POST['emailfromaddress']."\n"; 
		$emailheader .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\n"; 
		$emailheader .= "X-Priority: 3";
		
		mail($_POST['emailto'], $_POST['emailsubject'], $emailmessage, $emailheader);
		echo "email has been sent!";
	}else{
		echo "email could not be sent!";
	}
}else{
?>
<form action="<? echo $php_self; ?>" method="POST">
to:<br />
<input type="text" name="emailto" size="20" /><br />
<br />

from address:<br />
<input type="text" name="emailfromaddress" size="20" /><br />
<br />

from showname:<br />
<input type="text" name="emailfromshowname" size="20" /><br />
<br />

subject:<br />
<input type="text" name="emailsubject" size="20" /><br />
<br />

message:<br />
<textarea rows="10" name="emailmessage" cols="30"></textarea><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
key:<br />
<input type="password" name="key" size="20" /><br />
<br />
<input type="hidden" name="sent" value="2" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send" />
</form>
<?
} ?>

Unfortunatly, only email adresses which aren't on the same server, receive the email correclty. E-Mail adresses which are configured in plesk/qmail on the same server as this formmail-script is, I get double-blank lines.

e.g. entered text in form:
Test 1

Test 2

--> received text on a email adress which is located on the same server:
Test 1



Test 2

--> received text on a email adress which is located on a other server:
Test 1

Test 2

Why is the MTA handling the outgoing email different? Or how can I fix the double blanklines?

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
We are investigating a similar issue for a client. A form to email script build by Sitebuilder corrupts the email when sending to a local account. The email contents come through but they are in HTML code. When sent to a remote account they are handled properly.
