internal server error while mass mailing

[aaronlzw_21]

Hi

 

i created a script to mass mail my clients via bcc field. whenever i sent, i will encounter a 500 internal server error, but the mail is stil sent. in the bcc field have about 50 addressees.

 

I tried sending 15 addresses at a time it will still give me the same error. Below are my codes. Any idea what's wrong?

 

 

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "From: Mass_Email@xxxxxxxxxx.com\r\nReply-To: ". $_SESSION["email"]."\r\n";
	$headers .= "Bcc: " .$recipients;
mail("", $subject, $message, $headers);

Put your email address in the to slot of the mail function. See if you still get the 500.

You mean into the first parameter of mail? but that would be in the TO list. I need it to be in the BCC list..

[teamatomic]

And they both cant have a value?  And the to and BCC dont/wont work together?

What do you mean?

[aaronlzw_21]

i mean if i insert the $recipients into the first parameter in the mail function. would the recipients be in the TO field of the email or BCC? as i need it to be in the BCC field.

Not the recipients list, just ~your~ email address, just so it has a value. Put it to a blackhole if you dont want 500 messages. Put Brobamas in there. Just as long as it has a valid value. See if the script works then. If it does then just use a blackhole address.

 

Just an idea cause BCC is Blind Carbon Copy. How can you have a carbon copy with no original? Just a maybe why.

I have tried but it still shows the same error. I did a test, some email are "dead" does it affect this problem? it does, anyway to catch this exception?

 

On the server log, the error was stated "Premature end ofscript headers". My server is running on php4.
