Hello once again Php Freaks!  I've probably posted this problem a few times a year for the past 5 or so years.  I am a dev/admin for the site marcomtechnologies.com.  From that website, using php we send emails out.  Some users never get the email and it isn't in their spam folder.  The two users we can confirm never get the email have @att.net email address and, let me warn you.  Do not ever, EVER call att/yahoo/sbc for tech support.  It's an endless circle and when you do finally talk to someone, they have a really hard time grasping that it is about emails coming from a server they are not hosting.   I've talked to GoDaddy everytime, and everytime it is the same thing.  Everything is ok on their end.   I will post the code below.  First what I have done.   - The emails are coming "FROM" the correct domain.  The website is marcomtechnologies.com, and the emails are from admin@marcomtechnologies.com.  This was something that if not set this way, would be flagged as spam right off the top.  this is a valid email, on the email services provided by godaddy.  I can log in and send and receive emails from there no problem.   - I was using the standard PHP mail command, than switched to PHPMailer and we still have the same problem.   - I have checked to see if the domain is blacklisted.  As far as I can tell it is not.  If it was true, than my address, @gmail wouldn't get the emails and I do.  (quick note, a few weeks ago even I didn't get some?)   - GoDaddy tells me that we have 250 "relays" or emails that can go out.  On a daily basis, we may send 50 messages.  If that.   - I have tried to get bounce back messages stating the message was undelivered and have yet to ever get one.   - We have set up read receipts and they work, but not every sales person reads their emails, just kinda ignores them.  So read receipts are not really helping us, cause we don't know if they are ignoring the message, or not getting them.   - For one of our customers, we had to talk to an admin and have them put a rule on there server allowing messages from our domain.  From what we can tell it worked, but again are the sales staff ignoring, or not getting the message?  We don't know until we are there and they say so.  Why is att.net not getting them?   The emails are going out and leaving godaddy.  Somewhere between godaddy and the receiver, the message is blocked, lost, deleted or just decides to take a day off.  Which is really what seems to be happening.  I've reach a state of utter frustration with this.  Emails are a simple, all over the place, everyone uses, and has for a long long time technology.  What can I do to confirm they got the message without them having to actually read it?  What can I do to determine why the message isn't making it?  I'm never getting those bounce backs, so I have no details at all.   The clients we serve are not the most tech capable, and for all we know everything is ok.  the problem is, for my boss, this is unacceptable.  I need a solution, and a confirmation that the solution is working 110%.    What am I missing?  Here is the chuck of code that sends the messages out :

require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
require_once('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');

$results_messages = array();
 
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->CharSet = 'utf-8';
 
class phpmailerAppException extends phpmailerException {}

if($file_name[0]=='') {
		
	try {	
		if(!PHPMailer::validateAddress($to)) {
			throw new phpmailerAppException("Email address " . $to . " is invalid -- aborting!");
		}

		$body = $email_message;
		$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

		$mail->AddReplyTo($_SESSION['member_email'],$_SESSION['WholeName']);
		$mail->SetFrom("admin@marcomtechnologies.com",$_SESSION['WholeName']);

		$mail->AddAddress($to,$to);


		$mail->Subject = $MSG_row['msg_subject'];
		$mail->MsgHTML($body);

		if(!$mail->Send()) {
			$results_messages[] = "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
		}
		else {
			$results_messages[] = "Message has been sent to " . $to . ', ';
		}

	}
	catch (phpmailerAppException $e) {
		$results_messages[] = $e->errorMessage();
	}

}
else {

	$path = '../audio_upload/' . $audio_filename;
	$path_name=$audio_filename;


	try {

		if(!PHPMailer::validateAddress($to)) {
			throw new phpmailerAppException("Email address " . $to . " is invalid -- aborting!");
		}

		$mail->isSendmail();
		$mail->addReplyTo($_SESSION['member_email'], $_SESSION['WholeName']);

		$mail->SetFrom("admin@marcomtechnologies.com",$_SESSION['WholeName']);

		$mail->addAddress($to, $to);
		$mail->Subject  = $MSG_row['msg_subject'];

		//$body = "<<<'EOT'";
		$body = $email_message;
		//$body .= "EOT";

		$mail->WordWrap = 80;
		$mail->msgHTML($body, dirname(__FILE__), true); //Create message bodies and embed images

		// preparing attachments
		$main_path='email_upload/';

		for($x=0;$x<count($file_name);$x++){
			$mail->addAttachment($main_path.$file_name[$x]);  // optional name
		} 

		try {
			$mail->send();
			$results_messages[] = "Message has been sent to " . $to . ', ';
		}

		catch (phpmailerException $e) {
			throw new phpmailerAppException('Unable to send to: ' . $to. ': '.$e->getMessage());
		}
	}

	catch (phpmailerAppException $e) {
		$results_messages[] = $e->errorMessage();
	}
}	

$mail->clearAddresses();
$mail->clearAttachments();

The above is just the part that sends the email, it is part of an AJAX file, and you can download a ZIP with the whole file he http://marcomtechnol.../email_code.zip   I have removed the database usernames/password stuff.  You will see what I mean, other than that it is 100% complete.   I have absolutely no idea what to do.  I'm in the dark blindfolded.   Thank you so much for taking the time to review my problem!   Nick

Hi All,

Is there a way we can write a PHP script to automatically read receive emails, extract csv file attachment from there and insert into MySQL database then run this in Cron Jobs to automate the process?

Not sure where to start, and it may not be entirely PHP.

I am helping a friend with a small social network (5,000 users). They want to add a feature where each user gets given their own email account in the format username@domain.com with domain.com being the domain of the social network.

Is this too much? I've never thought of anything like this before.

How would we create the email accounts? Can PHP do it? Would it be an API through the web host / email space provider?
