 Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 6:05 am Post subject: php mail() SMTP authentication? |
 |
|
So I've got this mail script:
| Code: | <?php
$send=mail($to, $subj, $message, $header_from, $addl_params);
if ($send) {
echo 'success!';
} else {
echo 'failure!';
}
?> |
leaving out the impertinent parts, $to is my admin-of-site address (this is generic, not actual): me@mysite.net
$header_from: "FROM: server@mysite.net"
nothing in $addl_params, but that's partially what this thread is asking about.
And everything else has been tested and works with a server NOT requiring authentication (which I have ceased to use because it had other bugs that basically nullified its ability to be an internet-range server).
So, as stated above, I've securely got everything working for this, except for the fact that the [current] mailserver (hosted on the same computer as the webserver) that it sends to rejects the email because it needs authentication.
So I wonder.
Is there a way to give the mailserver authentication by using the additional parameters section, or some other way?
If it helps at all, I use hmailserver (http://www.hmailserver.com/)

I also use hMailServer, you need to go into the settings and allow no authentication for localhost. I didnt have to do this when I set it up but it may be set to authenticate for every host on new versions.

Ah, yet another annoyingly simple solution...
Thanks AbyssUnderground.
