send mail to someone
|
|
| Tommy DN 2005-12-03, 6:55 pm |
| This code works and send me e-mail:
---
$recipient="email@mydomain.com";
$subject="subject";
$header="From: " . $_POST['emailadres'];
$mail_body= $_POST['commentaar'];
mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);
---
But when I want to send automatic e-mail ( when a user registers ) then
the code doesn't work.
So I changed $recipient to another e-mail adress that isn't mine:
---
$recipient="someotheremail@someisp.com";
$subject="subject";
$header="From: " . $_POST['emailadres'];
$mail_body= $_POST['commentaar'];
mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);
---
So when I check someotheremail@someisp.com ... there's no mail :-(
What's wrong? Can I only send e-mail to my own domain and not to
somebody else? What's the solution???

make sure your smtp server allow relaying ...

How is your mail server configured? If it isn't setup with an outgoing
SMTP server, it will not be able to forward mail to another domain.

Your code is absolute crap. See if you can work out what would happen with
the following POST data:
emailadres = "tommy.dn@example.com
Cc: spam.me@example.com
Bcc: spam.me.also@example.com
Content-Type: text/html"
commentaar="<HTML><BODY><H1>CHEAP V.I.A.G.R.A FOR $ALE!!!!!</H1>...etc..."
Until you figure out how to avoid problems like this, I suggest you remove
all your email scripts from your website.
By the way, your mail probably isn't reaching its recipient because of a
spam filter somewhere.

Now, it works. But there was a serious delay. I recieved all mails the
day after.

| I was told I had to set the From: address to an email address on the server
for things to work.
Is this true?
