PHP - Moved: Pear Mail With Gmail Smtp

$to=sammieave@ave.com,samuel@ave.com;
$subject  = "New Event Logged";
$message  = "Test";
$headers = "From: Samuel<sammieave@ave.com>;\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

I am having the above code but unfortunately the error I am getting is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local in C:\xampp\htdocs\CRM\support\mailer.php on line 139

I am trying to send an email to my gmail account using Mail SMTP.

With the following code:
<?php
include 'incl/php/Mail.php';

$recipients = 'xxxxxxxx@gmail.com';

$headers['From']    = 'no-reply@newzstand.us';
$headers['To']      = $recipients;
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$headers['Date'] = date('r', time());
$headers['Message-Id'] = '<'.  microtime(true).'@newzstand.us>';

$body = 'Test message';

$domain = preg_replace("/.*@([^@]*)/", '\1', $recipients);
$mxrr = getmxrr($domain, $mxhosts);
$params['host'] = $mxhosts[0];
$params['localhost'] = 'mail.newzstand.us';
$params['username'] = 'no-reply';
$params['password'] = 'xxxxxxx';

// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);

$send = $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($send)){
echo $send->getMessage();
}else{
echo 'No error';
}
?>

I get the following message:
Failed to connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]

Why is Gmail refusing me?

Hi all,

Will reading on php.net about the famous mail() function somewhere in the notes, the author mentions to use Pear:: for sending larger amounts of email.

Since I have never done anything with pear, I was wondering if it weren't better to start out with Pear, since it's more a long term thinking solution or shoudl i first start  with mail().  I have read the Pear pagess, and all I saw were delayed mail sending and sending in larger quantities. If someone could maybe advise me on would could be a best practise i would love to hear

The script below works but it goes straight to the junk folder only since i added the parts below to the form. (the form is in another file)
How do i stop it from going to the junk folder.

Using the attached code below I'm sending an HTML email using PHP. It works fine, except with Gmail. If the email is sent to a Gmail account the email contents are blank and sender is unknown. I've looked around and it seems there is some widespread issue but i haven't found an answer/solution. Any help or light shed on this would be great.

I'm using the php mail function and sending to Gmail accounts it shows "Unknown Sender"

This is my header:
Code: [Select]
$headers = "From: XXXXX\r\nReply-To: XXXX@XXXXX.com";
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset='iso-8859-1' Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";

I read somewhere that removing the "\r" would work but no luck...

any  help would be awesome

I'm using a simple form to grab an email address and send the person who signs up and automatic response.  It was working for a while and now it's not.  Not sure what happened.  My hosting company told me to look into my headers.  Can anyone help?  Here is my code.

Thanks,

Code: [Select]
<?php

/* Set e-mail recipient */
$subject = "Sign Up";
$headers = "From: admin@xxx.com" . "\r\n" . "CC: admin@xxx.com";

/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$sign_up_email_address = check_input($_POST['sign_up_email_address'], "Please enter your email address.");

/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $sign_up_email_address)) {

show_error("E-mail address not valid");

}

/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$response_message = "Sample Message";

/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($sign_up_email_address, $subject, $response_message, $headers);

Thank you,

Hello,

Something that's been really bugging me the last days is a problem in PHP, the mail(); function, so here goes.

First, my script:

Code: [Select]
$to = "valid@hotmail.com";
$subject ="contact form";
$body = "Hello, you have been contacted";
$from = "$_POST['email'];
$headers = 'From : valid@hotmail.com'."\r\n".'Reply-To: valid@hotmail.com';
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo "worked";
} else {
echo "didn't work";
}

I'm using Ubuntu linux and have set up an SMTP server like so:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install postfix
And configured it.

I have also forwarded TCP port 25 to the server.

Problem: I run the script and it echos 'worked', meaning that there was no error. However, I don't get a mail sent into my inbox.   

Thanks in advance,
Drmota

I've just setup an Apache server with a basic LAMP stack. We've decided to use Google Apps (gmail) as our mail server / host. So our ubuntu server is only serving up HTTP files.

Because the server is not configured as a mail server, and we're using Gmail for our MX and mail servers, how do I go about using sending out emails via PHP on the Apache Box?

I've tried installing Postfix, and configuring using this tutorial, and still a no go.
http://www.blogternals.com/2009/04/30/postfix-google-apps-gmail-smtp-relay/

Any Ideas?

i think because of my code used to send the mail, on my site, its appearing in the spam folder of most of my clients PLUS myself

is their a way to eradicate this? correct headers? etc?

Does any know how to set SMTP Mail Configuration using the gmail account?

Hi,

Can someone please post very straight forward lines for sending email (no attachment nothing, just a subject and one line text in body) using google smtp (ssl://smtp.gmail.com) without any help of some classes like PHPmailer?

Thanks,

I'm getting the following error:

Quote

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in (file path)


I'm sure this error has been posted before, but I've searched and can't find a solution. I'm running XAMPP 1.7.3 with the Mercury/32 mail server v.4.72, which IS set to permit SMTP relaying of non-local mail. Is there anything I can change in php.ini, or anywhere else for that matter, to solve this?

I'm tearing my hair out with this... If I can just get it to send out this email, my project is finished, but I've been wrestling with this mail() function for about 3 hours. 

Any help would be appreciated.
