woody79 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Okay, i would like to create a script that accesses a pop3 email account and takes the sender and replies witha standard message like Thank you for replying, but this is a no reply email and your repy will not be read. Ive been looking in a few places but i can't even work out how to access a pop3 email account.

mpharo Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 On the mail server just setup an auto-responder for that address, to do it from a script is kinda silly when all mail servers already have this functionality built right in with a few simple clicks. Is there a reason why you would want to script it?

mpharo Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I didnt mean it in a negetive way, I meant it in a expressive way where someone might read it and chuckle, I apologize if any took offence.

woody79 Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Well i looked into autoresponding email programs and they are round the 500 dollar mark a bit much for what i want it to do Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49644-solved-php-no-reply-autoresponder-emailer/#findComment-244275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
taith Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 most email clients have something called "vacation messages"... just use that... basically it just responds whenever it recieves a message...

shadowwebs Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I am also looking for something similar to this, I have got my contact form up and running however when the email sends it just sends from a strange email address. If I set the auto responder to send "Your message has been received, we will respond shortly" this wont respond to the email address entered into the form. How would I go about making the form send from the actual email address being entered? I guess this will resolve both problems as then the hosting auto responder will work on both fronts.

mpharo Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 If you are refering to the e-mail address that the user has inputted, this is a big security issue. You are allowing them to use your mail server then to send e-mail, which can very easily put you on a spam list or blackmail list. Your best bet is to create a header for the sender so it is consistant and then just allow that one address access to send mail from your mail server.

woody79 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 I have just found that gmail(Google Mail) accounts have a vacation responder and it works perfectly.
