Form mail() problem

--Apple-Mail-12--83803023
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=US-ASCII;
format=flowed;
delsp=yes
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I am just beginning with php, my first effort was a quote detail form
that collects the user inputted data and makes and email out of it,
which sends to my boss. It worked fine for about 3 months now all of
a sudden it has stopped, and made my boss angry.

Any help I could get with this would be greatly appreciated.


Here is the error code I am getting:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1

Here is the .php code:

RE: Form mail() problem

Hi,

This is an SMTP error, not a PHP error. Since you imply the PHP code hasn't changed then something else must have changed.

First verify that the to address, paul@lu.com.aum is still good buy sending and e-mail to it.

If that checks out OK, than check with the mail server administrator. He may have tightened the SPAM controls by requiring SMTP
clients, like PHP, to authenticate before sending mail that relays. Or perhaps the authentication credentials in place may have
changed. Also, some mail server will allow relaying based on IP address. If the mail server does that perhaps the IP address of
the web server has changed. Either way, whatever authentication is used may need to be looked at and corrected.

I can't think of anything else that might be the problem.

Tell him to chill out ;)

logosunlimited.com.au probably stopped their server from being an
open-relay.

You probably won't be able to send to an email address outside of their
domain name without using smtp authentication.

Check out phpmailer for a really easy way to do it.

To me, this says that your code is probably still fine, but that
the server on which the logosunlimited.com.au domain is hosted may not
realize that the domain lu.com.au (presuming the `lu` stands for
`logosunlimited`, and is another of your domain names) is a local
domain, if it is.

I'm not exactly certain how you'd handle that with Exchange
(you're using Windows, so I ignorantly assume you're using Exchange),
but in Linux, using Exim, Qmail, or a similar system, you'd need to
modify /etc/localdomains.

Either way, it looks like it's not a PHP issue, which might get
you off the hook with your boss.... but have your server/network admin
take a look at why lu.com.au isn't on the permissible relay list.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

Re: Form mail() problem

Normally I'd say, "If it's been working fine for 3 months; then just
stopped working; don't get angry at the PHP programmer; check with the
network admin as to what changed."

But it's interesting that your error came from an MS Windows machine,
while you have links at the bottom from an Apple machine. Did someone
move your working code from one machine to another?

Re: Form mail() problem

I designed the site and did all coding, and uploaded from OS X. But
the mac stops there, our work server is Windows, and the server
hosting our sites is I think Windows.
