robpicken Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi All,I'm having a bit of a nightmare with a client who is using the built in Mailing List manager within our CMS. I've used this newsletter system on 10 or so other sites in the past few months and none have had any of the problems that this client seems to be experiencing.Basically when a preview is looked at it also sends the newsletter to an assigned email address. For this specific client no matter what email@theirdomain it gets sent to it never arrives, any other domain excluding AOL accounts it works fine - they've even tried their private accounts ie hotmail and got other associates of theirs to try it and its working fine.They use an MX server, at first i thought this was the problem, so i pulled in a favour and got access to one and the system when tested worked fine. I'm now stummped, and highly stressed as i'm lost as to possible causes let alone solutions.I'm posting the code below, so if anybody can see anything at all wrong then please let me know.[code]function send_newsletter($newsletter_id) { global $settings; global $query; $iSQL = "SELECT subject, content FROM ".TABLE_NEWSLETTER_ARCHIVE." WHERE newsletter_id='$newsletter_id'"; $ires = $query->run_sql($iSQL); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($ires)) { $subject = $row['subject']; $body = $row['content']; } $x = 1; $hold = 10; // quantity of emails sent before 3 sec delay $headers .= "X-Sender: ".$settings->general(website_name)." <".$settings->general(general_email).">\n"; // $headers .="From: ".$settings->general(website_name)." <".$settings->general(general_email).">\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$settings->general(website_name)." <".$settings->general(general_email).">\n"; $headers .= "Date: ".date("r")."\n"; $headers .= "Message-ID: <".date("YmdHis").".".$settings->general(general_email).">\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$settings->general(general_email)." <".$settings->general(general_email).">\n"; $headers .= "Delivered-to: ".$settings->general(general_email)." <".$settings->general(general_email).">\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-9\n"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; $headers .= "Importance: Normal\n"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion()."\n"; $SQL = "SELECT email, name FROM ".TABLE_NEWSLETTER.""; $res = $query->run_sql($SQL); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res) ) { $recipient = $row['email']; $name = $row['name']; $message = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="generator" content="Adobe GoLive"> <title>Glasshouse e-news</title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color:#FFFFFF; margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align:left; } h1 { font: bold 16px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#808080; padding: 10px; } .td_content { font: 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: 000000; padding: 10px; } </style> </head> <body> '.stripslashes($body).' <table width="525" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr><td><img src="http://www.domain.com/images/10x10_Transp.gif" alt="" width="15" height="15" border="0"></td></tr> <tr><td valign="top" bgcolor="gray"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr><td valign="top"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0"> <tr><td><font size="-3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">To unsubscribe from this email communication, please <a href="http://www.domain.com/mailing_list.php?action=unsubscribe&email='.$recipient.'">click here</a></font></td></tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> </body> </html>'; mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers); $this->sent($newsletter_id); print $recipient ."

robpicken Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'll have to take a look and the smtp settings.I've downloaded phpmailer so i'm going to implement that over the weekend as well, to see if that breaks through their MX server.CheersRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
