Hello,

Read the manual page for the mail() function ...

http://www.php.net/mail

Mail() requires an operating SMTP server. This can be set
in php.ini, and possibly via the ini_set() function. These
might be worth looking into:

$config1=ini_set(sendmail_path,"/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i");
$config2=ini_set(SMTP,"localhost");
$config3=ini_set(smtp_port,25);

If you absolutely can't run an SMTP server or use a
remote server, you'd probably have to hack something
together with sockets or streams.

My $0.02,

Re: Mail Function In PHP

Use the Pear Mail package. In particular the smtp class.

It will save you much grief and time.

Contrary to popular belief, to send an email you do not need to have
your own SMTP server. All you need to know is the SMTP server
responsible for your recipients email.

This information is held as part of the domain registration details
and is known as the MX records (as I understand it).

PHP has a function called getmxrr() [1]. This allows you to supply a
domain name and get back the list of MX records suitable for handling
the SMTP mail.

This function wasn't available on Windows until recently, and I
created a userland version utilising Windows nslookup.exe program [2].

So, once you've got the list of SMTP servers for the domain you are
sending email to, you can use the ini_set('SMTP', 'xxxxxx'); function
to set the server to handle the mail() call you are about to make.

Upside : No local SMTP server - you are not responsible for
maintaining/administering/etc. any aspect of the SMTP process.
Upside : If the mail() call fails, you can try the other MX records (I
tend to sort the results based upon weight and try them in sequence).
If it fails all of them, you know straight away and can deal with it.
Upside : No relaying. No permission issues to worry about. You are
simply talking to the public SMTP servers just like any other SMTP
server or sender.

Downside : No queuing. Without a _LOCAL_ SMTP server, you can only
deal with sending email in real time.
Downside : One domain at a time. You cannot send email to
a@domain1.com, b@domain2.com _AND_ c@domain3.com in the 1 email.

None of these steps affect the use of mail() or a mail sending class
(phpmailer, RMail, html_mime_mail5, etc.).

Richard.

While the above is true, there is also another thing that comes into
play. We used to send email directly to the receiver the way described
above. But at times it happens that the receiving smtp server refuses to
accept mail from the sender since the sender is not known to be a good
smtp server, and at times it could get blacklisted. Rules like this get
tightened up because of the desire to curb spam at the source.

Black listing can happen even for valid domains.

So, say I did go and setup a local SMTP relay, how would I make it
known that it was a "real" smtp server and not just some script
pushing spam?

By having your local relay talk seductively to the remote server?

More sensibly though, I would assume that you could use some sort of
certificate for this, although I don't know much about mail servers.

If you control your DNS server setup and such, DKIM and authentication
technologies alikes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys) are the way t=
o
go.

Also, make sure the reverse DNS lookup is pointing to the right place, i.e.
that the SMTP server domain name translates to an IP that translates back t=
o
the same domain name when you do a reverse lookup.

Since this is really something more of a network arch. setup, you probably
will find more answers for that on ServerFault or the likes.

Once a domain or ip address was black listed, it was quite a process to
get it unlisted again, and even then as soon as mail came from that
domain, it got blacklisted again. Supposedly there is some certification
process that official smtp relays need to go through so as to prove or
certify that they won't allow spam to be sent through them, and take
steps to remove offenders from using their relay. However, this is all
guessing, and in the end we just gave up and used our ISP's official
relay. Teus.

You can use SPF, DomainKeys plus valid DNS information.
I have setup SPF records for my domains. If you attempt to send E-Mail
as if it was sent from my server then any server doing SPF record
checking will not accept or simply drop your message.

I have not setup DomainKeys since SPF has served me well but I will
configure it soon.

woops, forgot to add that I doubt that you'll be able to get a pure
webserver to do this for you, reliably, since some smtp servers will
call your server back and check if the e-mail account exists. I'd assume
that the server will drop the mail if your script sending server is not
even running smtp on port 25.

Re: Mail Function In PHP

Having worked at a decent sized, respectable ISP with 100,000+ customers
sending email via Iron Ports (email scanners), even they would get put
on a blacklist on a monthly basis. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if
Gmail's SMTP servers got put on a black list at some point.
There's seemingly hundreds of blacklists and whilst some play nice,
others are very paranoid.
Usually the good email servers will detect your on a blacklist then rate
limit the number of emails it'll accept from you. If you keep pissing it
off, by sending emails to non-existant addresses (something they REALLY
hate), sending emails that are too big, or simply sending too many
emails or emails with too many recipients, then it'll tighten the
restrictions. Over time if your good then those restrictions will be
released and eventually you'll be able to send at normal rates.
