Thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this.  Bob G.

 

BACKGROUND:  I have an app that is hosted on Host Monster and its script includes a Class that is supposed to send MIME emails with or without attachments using only MIME types text, html, and image.  It was working fine.  I hadn't worked with or on it for about two months then found, last week, that it would no longer send emails even though the script runs without any Warnings.  I've worked on this for several days now and I'm stuck.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: When the script runs, it should send a simple text only email to a given email address and an more complex email that requires html and an in-line image in the body and an attachment with the same image.  The image type is jpeg.

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR: The script runs to completion with no Warning but sends neither of the two emails.

CODE:

Attached and cc'd below is a script which mimics the code in my app and the actual behavior described above but only for the simple email mentioned above.  To simplify debug I've commented out that part of the script that should send out the more complex email mentioned above.

    Note: You can run the script by going to http://www.unitresearch03.com/Admin/SendUserEmailHM01.php

    Note: Line 6 can be changed to your own email address for testing

Correction....The link to run the script should be http://www.unitresearch03.com/Admin/SendUserEmailPHP01.php  although the link in my Post is nearly identical.  The only difference is how extensively I commented out the more complex case.

Sorry,

Bob G.

This problem has been solved.  The php script was find.  The inabilty to receive emails sent by the script was isolated to my EarthLink email server.  Earthlink's SpamBlocker SW stopped working correctly and would not allow email sent from my "From" email address in my MIME email script to get through to my desktop.  This was the case despite the fact that I had tagged that address as non-Spam in Earthlink's SpamBlocker.  Earthlink escalated the problem.  My work around, until this is permantely fixed, is to turn Earthlinks SpamBlocker.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
