Mailing list error

[tristaaaaaaaaa]

Hey, I'm new at php so this is a little overwhelming for me.lol. Anyway, I am making mailing list so to put on a godaddy site. When I run the script though I get these errors.

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts. in C:\wamp\www\send.php on line 27

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts. in C:\wamp\www\send.php on line 27

 

Notice: Undefined index: mail_2 in C:\wamp\www\send.php on line 17

 

Notice: Undefined index: mail_3 in C:\wamp\www\send.php on line 17

 

Notice: Undefined index: mail_4 in C:\wamp\www\send.php on line 17

 

Notice: Undefined index: mail_5 in C:\wamp\www\send.php on line 17

All mail has been processed.

 

I think the problem is this line of code: but idk, that is the stmp address that godaddy gave me.

ini_set("SMTP", "smtpout.secureserver.net");

 

 

ANNNYYYWWAAY Here is all my code

Send : Where The error is coming from - :

 

<?php

 

require('connect.php');

 

 

ini_set("SMTP", "smtpout.secureserver.net");

 

//standard mail header

$headers = "From: trista_edwards@theinspirationaldesign.com";

 

//get message to send

$message = $_GET['message'];

 

//loop through

for($x=0;$x<count($_GET);$x++)

{

if ($_GET["mail_$x"])

{

 

  //mail setup

  $to = $_GET["mail_$x"];

  $subject = "Newsletter";

  $body = "Dear ".$_GET["name_$x"]."

  \n\n $message \n\n

  Corporate Staffing.";

 

  mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

 

}

}

echo "All mail has been processed.";

?>

 

Connect :

<?php

 

$error = "Couldn't Connect";

 

 

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die($error);

mysql_select_db("CorporateStaffing");

?>

and index (user interface)

 

<?php

require('connect.php');

 

echo "<h1>Mailing List</h1><p>Send to</p>";

 

echo "<form action='send.php' method='GET'>";

 

$mailcount = 0;

$namecount = 0;

 

$get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mailinglist WHERE send='1'");

 

while ($getrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($get))

{

  echo "<input type='checkbox' name='mail_".$mailcount++."' value='".$getrow['email']."' CHECKED>".$getrow['firstname']." ".$getrow['lastname']." (".$getrow['email'].")

  <input type='hidden' name='name_".$namecount++."' value='".$getrow['firstname']."'><br>";

}

 

 

echo "<p>

Message:<br>

<textarea name='message'>Type your information here!</textarea>

<p>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Send'>

</form>";

?>

The bottom line is that the smtp server they gave you, is treating the mail coming from your server as foreign, and will not allow your server to relay mail from it.

 

The notices are probably coming from this line:

 

  if ($_GET["mail_$x"])

 

because the prior loop attempts to access the checkbox GET params of 'mail_#' without knowing that the index exists.  In fact, the entire premise looks erroneous to me, since the count() of elements in the $_GET has no correlation to the items that are checked.  The way checkbox forms work, is that you'll get a $_GET param if the item is checked. 

 

Let's say you have 50 people in your list and you check # 50 which has the name of 'mail_50'.  The count() of $_GET params is going to be way less than 50, so that will never be processed.

 

A better solution to this is to use the array_keys() function to get the list of all the keys in the $_GET() and foreach() through that list looking for ones that match the 'mail_' pattern, to process.

Hey one more note, please try and use the code or php bbcode tags around your code.

 

[code=php:0]

[/code]

When 'I' use the GoDaddy mail function, I skip the variables in it, i.e. instead of

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

,

I use

mail('blah@blah.com', 'ere', 'erer', 'werd');

 

I don't know, and I am really sorry if this is irrelevant, but any other format doesn't work on GoDaddy with me.

 

I hope that this is helpful!

This would make sense, because in many cases, the server would already be configured to send mail via whatever MTA exists on the server.  Although spam filters can be a huge issue, when you're talking about low cost hosting, you typically can't expect to get the type of configuration you would have on a dedicated server or VPS where you run your own dns.
