uniflare Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 PHP.net is our best friend: http://uk2.php.net/function.mail but basically: $MsgHeader .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n"; $MsgHeader .= 'Bcc: [email protected]' . "\r\n"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/142080-sendmail-question/#findComment-744068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniflare Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hmm, if you mean by 50% of the people you send it to recieve it 100% of the time, then it may be compatiblity issues, try using CC: instead of BCC. If, however you mean 100% of the people only get it 50% of the time, then im not so sure its php's fault, i've only developed on a windows machine so i couldnt help you with sendmail. unless your using SMTP, especially free smtp servers can be very frustrating on a development machine.

uniflare Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 hmm, try on another machine. apart from that; you might want to look into the PEAR Mail Library. one last suggestion would be to look into extra Headers you can send, eg x-mailer etc; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/142080-sendmail-question/#findComment-744129 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvd420 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi, The mail() function is PHP just triggers the mail, it never bothers about its delivery. If you are interested in writing few extra lines of PHP, use PHPMailer class.

uniflare Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Mail is *not* reccommended for Large news groups; Alternatives to the Sendmail program: (nothing to do with php) qMail Postfix Alternatives to mail() function: (everything to do with php) PEAR::Mail - http://www.hudzilla.org/phpbook/read.php/15_5_2 PHP Mailer Class - http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/ The PHP Mailer class is a giant mail classfile that is there to make our life easier - it cotains pretty much all the functions you will ever need with mailing. PEAR::Mail; PEAR's Mail package defines an interface for implementing mailers under the PEAR hierarchy. It also provides supporting functions useful to multiple mailer backends. Currently supported backends include: PHP's native mail() function, sendmail, and SMTP. This package also provides a RFC822 email address list validation utility class.
