http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2165&highlight=$go_info["server"]["apache2_php"] Did you specify a recipient in the mail command?
Yes I did, here is the script I'm using PHP: <?/* Edit these preferences to suit your needs */ $mailto = '[email protected]'; // insert the email address you want the form sent to $returnpage = 'thankyou.php'; // insert the name of the page/location you want the user to be returned to $sitename = 'Anatoly-art'; // insert the site name here, it will appear in the subject of your email/* Do not edit below this line unless you know what you're doing */ $name = $_POST['name']; $tel = $_POST['tel']; $email = $_POST['email'] ; $enquiry = stripslashes($_POST['query']); if (!$name) { open("<strong>Error:</strong> Please provide your name.<br/><br/><a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Back</a>"); exit; } if (!$tel) { print("<strong>Error:</strong> Please provide your telephone number.<br/><br/><a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Back</a>"); exit; } if (!eregi("[0-9]{5,25}", $tel)){ print("<strong>Error:</strong> Telephone number must include: country code + area code + telephone number<br/><br/><a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Back</a>"); exit; } if (!$email) { print("<strong>Error:</strong> Please provide a valid email address.<br/><br/><a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Back</a>"); exit; } if (!$enquiry) { print("<strong>Error:</strong> Please provide your enquiry details.<br/><br/><a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Back</a>"); exit; } if (!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([-_\.]?[a-z0-9])+@[a-z0-9]+([-_\.]?[a-z0-9])+\.[a-z]{2,4}", $email)){ print("<strong>Error:</strong> this email address is not in a valid format.<br/><br/><a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>Back</a>"); exit; } $message = "\n$name submitted the following message:\n\n$enquiry\n\nTheir contact details are as follows:\n\nName: $name\nTelephone: $tel\nEmail Address: $email\n"; mail($mailto, "$sitename Contact Form from $name", $message, "From: $email"); header("Location: " . $returnpage);?>
This is thr mail section of my php.ini , which is located in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini - you mean this file right ? [Syslog] ; Whether or not to define the various syslog variables (e.g. $LOG_PID, ; $LOG_CRON, etc.). Turning it off is a good idea performance-wise. In ; runtime, you can define these variables by calling define_syslog_variables(). define_syslog_variables = Off [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = [email protected] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters =
Try Code: sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t and comment out the SMTP and smtp_port lines. Restart Apache afterwards.
Hi. I`ve got the similar problem, but in my case i can`t send message to other server. If I send e-mail to my domain it works good and no error message in log. While sending to other domain in log I have got: Sender address rejected: Domain not found (in replay to MAIL FROM command) When I use IMAP to send e-mail to other domains everything works good.
Send to another server. I solve this problem. In /etc/mailname change hostname.mydomain.com to mydomain.com. Now everything works.
mail() and pop3 error Hi i just setup my debian server as mentioned in http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch All services are on however when i try to send email via php's mail() function i get some errors on mail.log like, Oct 4 16:23:06 server postfix/smtp[3722]: 186A06443EB: host f.mx.mail.yahoo.com[209.191.88.247] refused to talk to me: 553 Mail from xx.xxx.xxx.xx not allowed - 5.7.1 [BL21] Connections not accepted from IP addresses on Spamhaus PBL; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/550-bl21.html [550]". mail() function works, it sends the message however recipient blocks message. Thus my server is in my local network behind an adsl router, when i try to connect to pop3 service via client Kmail 1.9.10 i get those error below on mail.log, what went wrong?

The problem is that most dynamic IP addresses are blacklisted nowadays (you can check your IP on http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx ). To circumvent this, you can relay through another server: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver
Thanks!. Problem is dynamic ip address which was blacklisted, i created a reverse zone file now gmail accepts my emails however unlikely yahoo does not. Today i will try to connect mail server outside local network with a mail client to see if pop3-smtp configuration is ok.
Sendmail is legacy MTA of Unix(Its location is hardcoded in many previous apps). So, while postfix installation, we need to first forcibly uninstall sendmail Then postfix installs its own binary named sendmail in /usr/bin/sendmail. So, I mean to say that sendmail binary exists in both. Your app will work in either cases.
Im getting a very similar issue with my server. When sending to a email account on the server it all works fine. To any external domain it does not.. First noticed the issue as I was not getting monitoring emails to externally hosted email box. Now php forms and user accounts on site are unable to send validation emails, passwords etc to member accounts. IP is static and ISP do not filter smtp connections and I am sure of this as I work for them ISPC 2 latest install/version Centos 5.2 - Perfect Server Installation Now I am a noob to email server stuff so you will not only have to tell me what I can give you to further assist but also where I can find it. I originally suspected global php settings to be the issue but not after reading others comments, now suspect postfix or .... ...to be the issue. Any help is very much appreciated.
Any errors in your mail log? Please make sure your server isn't blacklisted: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
Not black listed. Tried to paste log into reply and keep getting error: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters. WTF its a hell of alot more than ten.
