Problems with mail()

Im noticing client problems with the mailcommand
i debuged it and fount that the problem is the added '-f '.$from
Somehow all clients get a message that the emial is send but the server is not processing the email
(nothing in the maillog)

Is this a conflict with the default settings of ispconfig?

Code:

php_admin_value[sendmail_path] = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [email protected]"

below a sample:

Code:

($this->_safe_mode === TRUE || ! $this->_validate_email_for_shell($from))
                {
                        return mail($this->_recipients, $this->_subject, $this->_finalbody, $this->_header_str);
                }
                else
                {
                        // most documentation of sendmail using the "-f" flag lacks a space after it, however
                        // we've encountered servers that seem to require it to be in place.
                        return mail($this->_recipients, $this->_subject, $this->_finalbody, $this->_header_str, '-f '.$from);
                }

 

You do not mention what version of ISPConfig on what operating system and version?

 

ISPConfig 3.1.15p3
centos 8

 

Yes i know but i had to reinstall the server and you doing a great job, but the almost ready is several months

I know that there are more options to send but joomla has by default mail() so costumers has problems with it.

"We set the sender address for php mail() function as a spam prevention measure and to avoid the use of fake sender addresses when using php mail() function without being an authenticated sender."

I know abouth this settings. i hope in the future this will be a dynamic settings so it can be changed per site.
This problem wasnt there on 3.1.15p2 / Centos 7 / PHP 7.3
Current version 3.1.15p3 / Centos 8 / PHP 7.3
has this so will try te debug to see why...

 

I have filed a bug abouth this in the past
If you add it in the php directives then the first stays in place and is still being used, so you have to manualy eddit the config file to remove webmaster@.
But still it would be nice if this was just a line in the webconfig in the gui.
now i have to do it for the client or i have to give the client access to the site's php directives, and that is not always a good idee...

 

Well tested it on
cento6 php 7.3.22 mail() with a extra -f is working

centos8 php 7.3.22 mail() with a extra -f is not working,
only works when you disable it in the site.conf php-fpm file

i realy have no idee why so if someone also is using centos8 and want to test it please do...
