PHP - Is There A Way To Have The Email Sent From The Server Not End Up In Junk Mail?

$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

Everything about the email is sending except the message text does anyone know what the issue could be?

here is the block of code that sends the email
Thanks in advance
Code: [Select]
$image = "http://www.visualrealityink.com/dev/clients/arzan/snell_form/images/email.png";
echo "got to process form";
$target_path = "upload/";                   
$path = $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);                 
$boundary = '-----=' . md5( uniqid ( rand() ) );

$message .= "Content-Type: application/msword; name=\"my attachment\"\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$path\"\n\n";


echo $path;
$fp = fopen($path, 'r');
do //we loop until there is no data left
{
$data = fread($fp, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) break;
$content .= $data;
  } while (true);
$content_encode = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$message .= $content_encode . "\n";
$message .= "--" . $boundary . "\n";
$message .= $image . "<br />" . $_POST['name'] . "submitted a resume on our website. Please review the applications and contact the candidate if their resume is a fit for any open opportunities with the company. <br><br> Thank you. <br><br> SEI Team";
$headers  = "From: \"Me\"<me@example.com>\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"";
mail('george@visualrealityink.com', 'Email with attachment from PHP', $headers, $message);

Hello i m newbie to PHP.  I am trying to host the website on my laptop but due to some configuration i cant send the emails through php script. I am trying send mail through mail() but not able to sent mail.

heres the code:
$to = "jwalant.baria@gmail.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}

Output:
Message delivery failed..

I read the previous post here. but  I am not able to figure out what to do about it.
Can anyone tell me what setting i do in my php.ini? or any other that necessary settings require for this.
i don't have SMTP server on my laptop so is there any method from which i can setup the SMTP server on laptop.?

I use apache HTTP 2.2 and PHP 5.3.4

Rest of the website working correctly but only mail not working.

TY..!!

Hi, I am having a problem with my Website mail.  Basically the mail was working fine yesterday but last night I  edited the PHP script slightly because for some reason the page that it was directed to had gone missing and was turning up an 404 error, which was just a newsuince as the email was still sent. So I just edited it so that it echo'ed a message saying thanks. but is seems today the mail is not getting to its destination. The PHP returns no errors and returns the success message fine but after saying its been sent it never appears.
I have tried different email addresses on different servers and that was no use and I have also changed the code back to how it was yesterday. and it still doesn't work.
I have also put the page up on one of my other sites which I know everything is set up properly and it works fine, making me think that it is a mail setup issue. but as I did not set up the mail at all and quite frankly don't really understand it, I don't know how it is meant to be set up as I just use google apps for sites that I set up.

So yeah I am trying to work out what could have gone wrong since yesterday but I don't really understand it,
below is the code as it as now and as it was yesterday:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$EmailFrom = "johnshale@hotmail.co.uk";
$EmailTo = "matthale.live@gmail.com";
$Subject = "Website enquiry";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>
and the page is at www.sullyco.co.uk/contactengine.php as you can see the page is redirecting to a page that does not exist(contactthanks.php) indicating that the message was sent successfully. it is also the part I edited as a quick fix last night I just got it to echo a success message.


Thanks for any help on this, I have been trying to work it out all morning,
Matt

Hello,

im using a contact form which sends me an email with the data name.. comments ..

Now im testing a new better server which use IMAP (old POP3) and my form is not working like it used to be..

Code: [Select]
                $emailTo = " $dbSentEmail"; //Put your own email address here
$emailServer = "noreply@totalsports.com.cy"; //Put your own email address here
$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nSubject: $subject \n\nComments:\n $comments";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Contact Form <'.$emailServer.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

Any idea what i have to do to work like before?

Hi,

Hi, I have

Code: [Select]
$to      = 'rberbe2002@msn.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
which works fine on a shared hosting website I have, but not on a website I have on my dedicated server.

Any ideas or suggestions please?

Hi.

I am sending out email with a php script - about 5000 at a time by send 15 or so every 20 seconds which works fine.
Sometimes I need to add an attachemnt. I then find that the script will keep stalling.

Is there a way to test the server qmail/mail queue to see if it isready to send another message? - rather than send it and have the script stall?

It may be enough to simply be able to check that the number of messages left to be sent in the queue?

Have search a lot for help on this with no results. Any server/qmail experts out there?

Thanks

Paul

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the $header variable. I am trying to extract the value from the $name method and included with the $email method.

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbname');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);
    $email = clean($_GET['email']);
    $type = clean($_GET['type']);
    $comments = clean($_GET['comments']);


if($name == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'name are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
} elseif($email == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'email are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
}

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
$insert = array();
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) .'\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['email'])) {
    $insert[] = 'email = \'' . clean($_GET['email']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['type'])) {
    $insert[] = 'type = \'' . clean($_GET['type']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['comments'])) {
    $insert[] = 'comments = \'' . clean($_GET['comments']) . '\'';
}

if (count($insert)>0) {
   $names = implode(',',$insert);


if(isset($email)){
   $name = $_GET['name'];
   $email = $_GET['email'];
   $header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";  
   $to = "myname@myemail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = "$comments";
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
 }
}
?>



Something got to do with this line:

$header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";

My problem is I can see in my email that the sender name has been included with (unknown sender) while the email address are display as empty address. I am really not sure why I have got the blank sender name and with the blank sender address.


Do you know what the main problem is and what I need to change it with?

Any advice would be much appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to send email with the mail() function as per instructions at: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php without success. The mail sends but when it arrives it doesn't render properly, I see all of the html tags with the data that's sent. My code is below:

Code: [Select]

Hi, I'm pretty new to PHP and I am working on a form that sends and email. I want to display a message if the mail can't be sent (i.e. if mail() returns false) and a different message if mail() returns true, except it is returning false even though the emails are sending.


Basically I have used:

$to = 'myemail@email.com';
$subject = "Subject Line Goes here";
$headers = "From: $email";
$message = 'My message';

$mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

In testing it I have used the following to determine what is going on:

   if (isset($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; } - echo's nothing
   if ($mailSent == FALSE) { echo '$mailSent = FALSE'; } - echo's '$mailSent = FALSE'
   if ($mailSent == TRUE) { echo '$mailSent = TRUE'; } - echo's nothing
   if (is_null($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent = NULL'; } - echo's '$mailSent = NULL'
   echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; - echo's '$mailSent ='

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
