Greetings,
I'm using the sendmail binary found in the mini_sendmail-chroot package
to be able to use the mail() function in PHP pages. However, it simply
refuses to send mail when I specify the recipient address in the form
"Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>".
For the example, let's consider the following PHP script :
<?php
$endl="\n";
$headers =
"MIME-Version: 1.0$endl".
"Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8$endl".
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit$endl".
"X-Mailer: Foo$endl".
"From: Foo Bar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>$endl".
"Reply-To: Foo Baz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$dest = "Myself <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$subject = "foo";
$body = "foo$endl"."bar";
mail( $dest, $subject, $body, $headers );
?>
When run from the shell, thus in a non-chrooted environment and using
the system's sendmail, the script works as expected. However, when run
in Apache, no mail is sent and the following line appears in the error log :
/usr/sbin/sendmail: unexpected response 553 to RCPT TO command
And if I just put "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in my $dest variable, the mail is
sent in both environments, so this is clearly the "mini sendmail" not
liking recipient addresses in the "Name <address>" format.
So I wonder, is it a bug, a configuration mistake, or is it simply how
it's supposed to work ? Any input would be appreciated.
Firas
