PHP - Emails Sent Out From Server Are Blocked And Junked.
Here there guys, I am having an issue with sending out emails, when I send them out, they are either blocked or junked by different mail servers.
Could someone please explain to me why this is happening, and look at my code and let me know what i can do to change it. HEre is the code: Code: [Select] $boundary = uniqid('np'); $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "From: Support <help@mysite.com>\r\n"; $headers .= "Subject: $subject\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;boundary=" . $boundary . "\r\n"; $zmessage = "This is a MIME encoded message."; $zmessage .= "\r\n\r\n--" . $boundary . "\r\n"; $zmessage .= "Content-type: text/html;charset=utf-8\r\n\r\n"; $message = $zmessage . $message $message .= "\r\n\r\n--" . $boundary . "--"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); here is what it looks like when it arrives Quote Authentication-Results: hotmail.com; sender-id=temperror (sender IP is 208.109.80.58) header.from=help@mysite.com; dkim=none header.d=mysite.com; x-hmca=none X-Message-Status: n:0:n X-SID-PRA: Support <help@mysite.com> X-DKIM-Result: None X-AUTH-Result: NONE X-Message-Delivery: Vj0xLjE7dXM9MDtsPTA7YT0wO0Q9MjtTQ0w9NA== X-Message-Info: 6sSXyD95QpWYohrS6oAlr1CXKM4buCM3A2n9BgJ5nne41J/46iDIhW+8AEPAeRTAIjUbK9jYqLDIOI75qTvahZhN61h3/l5KqHOG7mKBPXMvC1I+yebV71odaIcF5BtI Received: from p3plsmtps2ded01-01.prod.phx3.secureserver.net ([208.109.80.58]) by snt0-mc4-f18.Snt0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.4675); Tue, 4 Oct 2011 06:11:57 -0700 Received: (qmail 25843 invoked from network); 4 Oct 2011 13:11:57 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO ip-184-168-76-182.ip.secureserver.net) (184.168.76.182) by p3plsmtps2ded01-01.prod.phx3.secureserver.net (208.109.80.58) with ESMTP; 04 Oct 2011 13:11:57 -0000 Received: (qmail 25309 invoked by uid 48); 4 Oct 2011 09:11:57 -0400 Date: 4 Oct 2011 09:11:57 -0400 Message-ID: <20111004131157.25307.qmail@ip-184-168-76-182.ip.secureserver.net> To: power_of_science@hotmail.com Subject: Account Activation X-PHP-Originating-Script: 0:email.utility.php MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Support <help@mysite.com> Subject: Account Activation Content-Type: multipart/alternative;boundary=np4e8b061d79bd6 Return-Path: anonymous@ip-184-168-76-182.ip.secureserver.net X-OriginalArrivalTime: 04 Oct 2011 13:11:57.0985 (UTC) FILETIME=[3224D910:01CC8297] This is a MIME encoded message. --np4e8b061d79bd6 Content-type: text/html;charset=utf-8 Dear ma,<br /><br /> Please click on this link to activate your mysite.com account: <a href="http://www.mysite.com/activation/?code=daa1d30e6ba7db6ae0f485f508ac450e321516c2fde14751240ac730192b6b445ce827">http://www.mysite.com/activation/?code=daa1d30e6ba7db6ae0f485f508ac450e321516c2fde14751240ac730192b6b445ce827</a><br /><br /> Thank you,<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />mysite.com! --np4e8b061d79bd6-- : Similar TutorialsHello, recently I changed host of my website and when a visitor clicks "contact us" button in my website (in which one needs to enter his/ her email, name, phone , etc) and submit his/her message then I get email. Before this hosting I used to get emails from the visitor who filled the form so it was easier for me to reply but now after I changed the host I get email as "mydomain@hosting-company-domain" instead of the visitor's email. I messaged them then they told me something about SMTP authenticate using PHP, please guide me to fix this. I would thoroughly enjoy if someone solved this. The problem is, is that I want the forum name of any created forum I make displayed by PHP. All of my other codes work except this one... Code: [Select] <!-- forum info--> <?php #get forum infos $forum = fetch("SELECT fid, name FROM forums WHERE fid = ".$fid); if(!$forum) $forum = array(); ?> <table class="foruminfo" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="foruminfoleft"> <div class="forumdescwrap"> <img class="forumicon" src="/images/cornerpic.jpg"> <h3 class="forumname"><a href="?fid=<?php echo $forum[0] ;?>"><?php echo $forum[1];?></a></h3> Now, that code above seems to work and show the forum name when I take out this code on another PHP file I have: Code: [Select] function fetch($query) { $r = mysql_query($query); if($f) {return mysql_fetch_row($r);}} Any suggestions? Hello there, I've come across a issue with using PHP's mail function due to the fact I've tried a assortment of different headers yet Hotmail continues to place my sent emails in the junk folder. Here is my method of emailing my clients: function Email($AccountID, $Subject, $Message) { if($this->IsValidAccount($AccountID)) { $Account = $this->AccountKeys($AccountID); $headers .= 'To: '.$Account['account_client'].' <'.$Account['account_email'].'>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: no-reply@X-Host.co.uk\r\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "Organization: X-Host\r\n"; echo $Account['account_email']. $Subject. $Message; return mail($Account['account_email'], $Subject, $Message, $headers); } else return InvalidAccount; } So could anybody help me out please and tell me what headers I should be using. I have a proposal solicitation application where I select typically 5 or so individuals and they get individual emails such as "Hello Bob, please click <here> if you wish to provide pricing for the following scope of work..." It uses PHPmailer with a smtp gmail account. The FROM name is my name, the FROM email is an email account associated with the application <bidding@bidsoliciationapp.com>, and the REPLY-TO name and email are both mine. A while back, individuals have told me that my emails often windup in their spam folder. What might be causing this and what can be done to decrease its likelihood? One potential culprit is all of the emails have a small footer with a disclaimer and a link back to a website, but the link utilized https which was no longer supported on the site and was broken. Maybe related? Thanks Hi, I found a very nice script for saving my TwitPic images in full size. I have tested this script for a couple of times yesterday and it seems that this way of saving images is now blocked by amazon or TwitPic. Using the API it's not possible to download the images as fas I can see, does anyone has an idea ? http://forrst.com/posts/TwitPic_Hack_Get_Full_TwitPic_Image_using_PHP-mFQ Code: [Select] <?php function imgResize($width, $height, $target) { if ($width > $height) { $percentage = ($target / $width); } else { $percentage = ($target / $height); } $width = round($width * $percentage); $height = round($height * $percentage); return "width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\""; } // full url of the TwitPic photo $url = "http://twitpic.com/1pfhfd"; // make the cURL request to TwitPic URL $curl2 = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl2, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($curl2, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true); curl_setopt($curl2, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true); curl_setopt($curl2, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10); $html = curl_exec($curl2); $HttpCode = curl_getinfo($curl2, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); $totalTime = curl_getinfo($curl2, CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME); // if the HTTPCode is not 200 - you got issues if ($HttpCode != 200) { ?><p>Unable to connect to TwitPic.

Perhaps it's a compatibility issue with PHP 5.3. Looked all over for an answer without finding one. Here is the error message Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST' instead in /blocked.php on line 41 12/02/12 Here is the code. Line 41 is near the bottom, the one with the d,m,y. Perhaps the echo date (d/m/y") needs to be changed. Appreciate any help!

In the system, there is a function for user to upload files to another server (Shared server in Unix). When i try to upload a file, it gives warning: Warning: move_uploaded_file(\\unixserver/sharedfolder/upload/test.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\upload\index.php on line 40 For your information, my username has been assigned in xxx's group that has access to read and write on that folder. Besides, i'm able to open,create and delete files on that folder's server manually (samba). The safe mode setting is off. Does anybody has any idea why this thing happen? I'm trying to make a simple website where people register to my website. When the user doesn't fill anything inside the boxes they get a message "Please fill all required fields" on the register.php page On my local host require_once works good. It shows up.
But when i upload the files to my sever the require_once does not show up on the register.php It just refreshes and i dont get the message "Please fill all required fields"
This is the code that works in local host but not in a live server <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?>
Here is my full code
Register page: <html> <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?> <br><br> <form action="register-clicked.php" method="POST"> Username:<br> <input type="text" name="usernamebox" placeholder="Enter Username Here"> <br><br> Email:<br> <input type="text" name="emailbox" placeholder="Enter email here"> <br><br> Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordbox" placeholder="Enter password here"> <br><br> Confirm Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordconfirmbox" placeholder="Re-enter password here"> <br><br> <input type="submit" name="submitbox" value="Press to submit"> <br><br> </form> </html>

Edited Wednesday at 12:49 AM by bee65 Hi, I am not a PHP programmer. I took on a new client with a simple PHP site, without any databases. The site is up and running on the web. I would like to get it running on my local machine for further development. I have latest version of WAMP installed, running Apache version 2.2.11 and PHP version 5.3.0 I created a directory in the WAMP "www" project directory and it shows up there like it's supposed to when I browse to "localhost" Problem: The home page of website displays text but no, images, styles, footer, header, nav links, etc. Here is the code for the home page: <? define("NAV","home"); require_once('local/local.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>TITLE</title> <meta name="keywords" content=""> <meta name="Description" content=""> <? include("common/dochead.php"); ?> </head> <body onLoad="<? include('common/preloads.php'); ?>"> <!-- ============================ main ============================= --> <div id="main-frame"><div id="main" class="noCollapse"> <? include("common/sign.php"); ?> <div id="right-frame"> <? include("common/navigation.php"); ?> <div id="content-frame"> <div id="content"> <h1>Welcome</h1> <p>This is the content area.

I have spent many hours on this. Regards Hi folks, I'm curious if I can for example, save a file from my server and it will save to all other servers - obviously if they accepted the connection first. It's for a software I developed and is almost complete and know there will be frequent updates to it. Instead of users downloading upates, I want the update files from my server to somehow synchronize to their server automatically? Anything called this?? Thanks for info. Following a tutorial on udemy, i tried to learn the very basics of mvc structure. I built the same project on my local server and it worked without giving me any error. but when i tried it on live server. its not working as it should. not showing any error. I tried to figure out the problem and found that for every page loading, it stops at the same line in my main.php file. <?php require($view); ?> starting from the above line. it stops. i came here to share my problem but i am unable to upload my files here. if there is a way to upload and share my files, please guide. zip file size of the whole project is 31.6 kb This isn't exactly an application design question, but rather a system design one.
I am about to install an Inventory Control System inside this store I work in.
The store itself also owns a Linode VPS running Centos 6.4 which hosts our website.
This new Inventory System will come built in with a Microsoft SQL Server, and supposedly it is a SQL Anywhere database, but I'm not too sure what that means.
I need to make this database publicly accessible, but only via the Linode VPS. Surely, setting restrictions is easy enough to address that issue. That isn't my question.
My first idea is to put this server into the DMZ, easy. But it doesn't exactly sound safe. So my next idea was to put a middleman server in the DMZ, this way the Linode can send queries to that middleman server and it will send that data to the SQL Server and back. This is very vaguely described I know, but I don't want to get too much into details, but rather, understand how I can create that middleman server, and what could Install onto it that would allow me to securely process queries?
My first thought was to install a webservice, that accepts an XML/JSON request and returns an XML/JSON response.
Then, I realized directly afterwards that I don't have any experience setting up a webservice like that.
What kind of options are there out there? Ultimately, my question is, should I just put the Server in the DMZ or should I create the middleman, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction as to getting a webservice set up? Edited by Zane, 15 July 2014 - 11:28 PM. (This might be the wrong forum; it might be server-side configuration, but alas it is the code that *calls* fwrite, so I'll start here.) I have written a script, and one thing it does is generate a file to disk using fwrite. No big deal. Here's what interests me: On most servers, the file is written successfully when the folder's permissions are 755 with recursive permissions. On some servers, 755 fails. Only 777 works. How could this be? Are permissions=permissions=permissions? Why will 755 work on one machine but not another? I'm just a logic guy; I know very little of server-side configuration and/or why there would be a difference here. Just trying to learn. Hey. I am wanting to move a couple of files from my current server to another. If i am uploading the file this is fine but if it is already on the server then im not sure how to move it. When uploading I can just use ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $myFile, FTP_BINARY); What i need to do is figure out how to get a hold of the file and store it in $myFile then this would work fine. Is this possible? Cheers What I'm trying to do is copy all files from one server to another folder on another server. Here is what I have have so far.. <?PHP //connection settings $ftp_server = "server"; $ftp_user_name = "user"; $ftp_user_pass = "pass"; $dir = "/var/test/"; $destination_file = "/test/"; // set up basic connection $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); // login with username and password $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); // check connection if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { echo "FTP connection has failed!"; echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; exit; } else { echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name"; } if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, $dir)) { echo " <br/>Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "\n<p/>"; } else { echo "Couldn't change directory\n<p/>"; } $buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, $dir); foreach($buff as $files) { echo $files. "<br/>"; if (ftp_get($conn_id, $destination_file."test.file", $dir."test.txt", FTP_BINARY)) { echo "<br/>Successfully written to $destination_file\n"; } else { echo "There was a problem\n"; } ?> That doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Sean I have two servers: WebServer and FaxServer. WebServer needs to send a fax. Is my approach shown below fairly secure? Before sending a fax, ServerWeb needs to store a record in a table representing the message, and I am using a pseudo random value for the PK which is generated as 2147483648+mt_rand(-2147483647,2147483647). WebServer then generates a hash equal to hash('sha256',$pk.'secretCodeWhichOnlyWebServerAndFaxServerKnow'). WebServer then sends curl request to FaxServer using POST which includes $pk, the hash, the fax number, some text to include in the fax, and an optional array of document to include (array(array('id'=>321,'name')=>'fileName.pdf')). FaxServer verifies that the hash is correct given $pk, that the minimum information has been received, and that the fax number is a valid phone number, and quickly responds to WebServer by echoing 0 or 1 so the code in the WebServer could continue and inform the user. If all looks okay, a new instance of PHP is started.
if(missingInformation) {echo(0);}
else {
session_start();
$_SESSION['_xfr']=$_POST;
exec('/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/send_fax.php '.session_id().' >/dev/null &');
echo(1);
}
New instance of PHP send_fax.php then does the following:
session_id($argv[1]);//Set by parent
session_start();
$data=$_SESSION['_xfr'];
$doc_list=null;
foreach ($data['documents'] AS $doc)
{
if(ctype_alnum($doc['id']))
{
$file='/some/tmp/directory/'.$doc['id'];
if(!file_exists($file))
{
$url='http://machine.WebServer.com/index.php?task=displayDocument&id='.$doc['id'].'&x='.hash('sha256','displayDocument'.$doc['id'].'secretCodeWhichOnlyWebServerAndFaxServerKnow');
$cmd='wget -O '.$file.' '.escapeshellarg($url);
exec($cmd);
}
$doc_list.=' '.$file;
}
exit('invalid document');
}
//Send the fax...
//Send another CURL request to the WebServer similar to the wget giving the fax status.
exit;
When WebServer receives the wget request for a document, it confirms the hash and sends the document to the FaxServer using X-Sendfile.When WebServer receives the CURL request regarding status, it updates the database for the applicable message. Seem reasonably secure? hi i need to send around 1000 emails per day to my website users as notifications on their activities and also need bulk email capability to target 20000 users at a time when required.
