Having some problems sending mail to some address's

[Shadowing]

Hey guys having a few issues sending mail to some address's

I can send mail to all major emails, gmail,hotmail, yahoo etc....

 

One i know for sure is .de and a few others like address@vmobl.com

Made a small example that is userfriendly to read.

Was reading the php manual and seems like i need to headers for additional information?

 

 

$to = "address@vmobl.com";
    	$from = "mail@stargatesystemlords.com";
    	$subject = "Stargate System Lords";

    		$message = "Your alerts are now set up for Stargate System Lords";
    	
    	$headers = '';		
    	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Stargate System Lords <$from>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: $from\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: $from\n";
$headers .= "Message-ID: <" . md5(uniqid(time())) . "@" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . ">\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Date: " . date('r', time()) . "\n";
   	
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Try this:

mail($to,'=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=', base64_encode($message), $headers.'');   

Check out my first post to this forum, I also had a problem to Bulgarian hostings:

thanks for the responce jazzman

 

tried your idea with no success.

 

im going to check to make sure the from address can recieve mail. I read somewhere that if it cant some clients will do a check to make sure a from address can recieve mail or not if not block it.

[jazzman1]

Send me email at dimitartuparov@mail.bg to check header code.

[jazzman1]

Send me email at dimitartuparov@mail.bg to check header code.

Still nothing, you are afraid from something,  obviously. 

Just for test, copy/paste my script from -> http://forums.phpfreaks.com/index.php?topic=360868.msg1706751#msg1706751

I'm sure 100% that the mail script has not problem with encodings. You can use also BCC (blind carbon copy) to send your emails.

Good luck

lol why did you say im affraid of something obviously?

 

anyways havnt tried your latest idea yet

I think the problem is my mail server now though

 

i was able to send mail to to one of the address's with phpfreaks using SMF by changing my email on this account to a @vmobl.com

but i couldnt with using my forum on my website which uses SMF also

 

 

[Shadowing]

I sent you a email jazzman

[jazzman1]

No, still nothing 

Send at jazzman@kaneffbrookside.ca

[Shadowing]

thats wierd i used your code to send emails out

and the from: address wasnt what i expected

 

says its from www-data@26hp.26horses.com

i was expecting it to say mail@stargatesystemlords.com

also i noticed that hotmail detected this automactily as spam

 

i resent it again and added in your .ca address let me know if you get it. appreciate you helping me with this

 

here is the code i used

 

 

$filename = "This is a test";
$folder_img = "This is a test";
$local = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$subject = "This is a test";
// associative array, this data comes from database
     $headerFields = array('BCC:  4174890679@vmobl.com,dimitartuparov@mail.bg,jazzman@kaneffbrookside.ca,Outletsale@msn.com,example_5@example.com');
     $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n" .
                 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' . "\n" .
                 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . "\n";
                 'X-Priority: 1 (Higuest)' . "\n";
                 'X-MSMail-Priority: High' . "\n";
                 'Importance: High' . "\n";
      $headers .= implode(',', $headerFields)."\n";
      $message = ''."\n";
      $message .= $_POST['message'] . "\n";
      // link to image or church bulletin
      $message .= 'http://' . $local . '/'. $folder_img.'/'. $filename ."\n";
      if(mail(null, '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=', base64_encode($message), $headers . '')){
     echo "Mail has been successfully sent"; exit;
      }

 

[jazzman1]

Yep, I received your message at jazzman@kaneffbrookside.ca from www-data@26hp.26horses.com. The message wasn't in a junk folder.

[Shadowing]

any idea why its saying www-data@26hp.26horses.com

 

id assume a setting on my mail server is wrong

 

but still though i cant send to your .bg address or my vmobl.com address

 

 

hotmail probably junked it cause it was 26hp.26horses.com

with it having two dots maybe idk

[Shadowing]

I just figured out that im running EXIM for my mail server.

You need to add your email address to headers, otherwise your hosting name will be appear there:

$headers .= 'From:  mail@stargatesystemlords.com' . "\r\n" .

I don't know what's wrong with my .bg address and yours too.

[Shadowing]

so the 26hp.26horses.com is coming from my php config file

 

what mail server do you use jazzman just curious

 

I'm having a few people tell me the problem cant be my mail server since i can send to some hotmail,gmail etc....

Hey Jazzman just for kicks any chance could you try sending a message saying "This is a test from jazzman" to 4174890679@vmobl.com

k i did your exact set up. waiting back to hear from my friend if he got the message but it should of went to your bg address too, i added my hotmail address and my friends address to the array list.

it worked on hotmail.

 

also as a note apparently hotmail is making emails be spam if they are using BCC

 

so the only thing i changed in your code was

$header_.='FROM: mail@stargatesystemlords.com'. "\n";

and adding in the two other email adddress's

[jazzman1]

Yep, I've received them at gmail.com and kaneffbrookside.ca 

[Shadowing]

alright so you didnt get it at dimitartuparov@mail.bg

 

my friend hasnt replied back yet to varify

[jazzman1]

alright so you didnt get it at dimitartuparov@mail.bg

 

No, put in this one at the first position in e_list.txt, and try again!

[Shadowing]

Hey jazzman i did another test

 

I think the problem is my From email is incorrect

 

i just tried mail@26horses.com which is what it should of been

[jazzman1]

Nop, still nothing to my bg mail server. I don't know why 

PS Send me PM, if you want to make more tests.

[Shadowing]

Solved my problem, my domain was incorrect on my mail server configuration
