ballhogjoni Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I am running a windows sever and I am getting the following message: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\xxxxxxxx\DailyReminder\dailyreminder.php on line 10 I know there is nothing wrong with my code, becasue I can run it on my apache server just fine with no problems. Does anyone know how to fix this on a windows server? Just in case, heres my code: <?php $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $date = date("Y-m-d"); $name = $_REQUEST['name']; if (empty($_REQUEST['email']) || empty($_REQUEST['name'])) { echo "<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCESS THIS PAGE INCORRECTLY<br>Or, you have not filled out the previous page correctly - please go back.</body></html>"; } else { $admin_email = 'sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; $header = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\r\nFrom: xxxxxxxxxxxxx <$admin_email>"; mail($admin_email, "New Subcriber from Daily Reminder Download", "Here are the details:\n\nDate: $date\nEmail: $email\nName: $name", $header); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101722-solved-mail-function-warning-message/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameYin Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The $admin_email doesn't have a .com or an ending. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101722-solved-mail-function-warning-message/#findComment-520474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballhogjoni Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 I did some more research on the net and found the solution here: http://drupal.org/node/33967 abour a quarter down the page. Apparently windows doesn't like the usall setup of the mail(). You just have to set it up a little different.
