[SOLVED] mail() and exchange doing strange things

[mattyb_53]

Hi peeps.

 

Got a bit of a question. Ive got an exchange 2003 server with IIS6. I want to be able to use the mail() function to send an email.

I have the following code:

 

<?php
$to = 'me@mydomain.com.au';
$subject = "A subject of choice";
$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
$headers = 'From: info@mydomain2.com.au' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: info@mydomain2.com.au' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    
//send 
ini_set('SMTP','SERVERNAME');
ini_set('smtp_port','25');
ini_set('smtp_from','info@mydomain2.com.au'); //yes this is a valid email address on the exchange server

echo "Sending email from " . ini_get('SMTP') . "</br>";  
$result = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if($result)
echo "Send Successful.";
else
echo "Send Failed!";

?>

 

Thing is, the $result that is returned is true. So it should be successful in sending the email. And I cant find any trace of the email being queued on the exchange server. The log file for exchange indicates a message was relayed.

To double check, I granted 127.0.0.1 and localhost relay rights.

 

I also read up about using sockets, eg fputs and fgets to send a telnet command and receive a response. It gets stuck on the DATA command.

 

Anyone seen this before?

???
