Problem with <branckets> when sending mail...

[leh00]

Hi,

I have the following problem when sending emails...

When I'm in the "Control Panel" under "User verwalten/Email senden" an do a test - I receive the error message "501 - Syntax error, missing brackets."

Then I played arround with the setting added the brackets under "Allgemein/Einstellungen/Administrator Email" from admin@meineDom.com to <admin@meineDom.com> -> the sending of email works then...

But if I send an eCard the Error message is still the same - probably a different kind of code sending the mail...

Does somebody knows where exactly I will have to change the code in the script that I will be able to send mails from both sections without having the brackets in the admin email settings?

Any help is appreciated...

Regards

Strange error, never heard about it. Try this:

Open includes/email.php and replace all

Code: [Select]

From: %s
with

Code: [Select]

From: <%s>
Don't forget to remove brackets from the Administrator Email in your settings.

Hi Jan,

thanks for your replay. The problem is that my mail server just accepts proper request (according RFC 820 or so...) where the replay address has to be in brackets.

Well I changed on 3 positions the code like you told me, but the result is still the same...

In adition I added to line 153 this:    echo $header."<-myheader<br>";

to make sure that the brackets are set, but unfortunately the complete header is never displayed:

-------------------Error message-------------
Return-Path: myemail@domain.net From: <-myheader

Email Error: MAIL FROM invalid mail server response: 501 Syntax error, missing brackets

-------------------Error message-------------

That's all what I got...

Is there a place in the code where I could display the complete header/email just to make sure everything is send correctly?

Your help is appreciated

You use SMTP, right? Try this:

Search for

Code: [Select]

fputs($fp, "MAIL FROM: ".$this->from_email.$this->crlf);
and replace it with

Code: [Select]

fputs($fp, "MAIL FROM: <".$this->from_email.">".$this->crlf);

Jan,

thanks -> it works perfect...

Maybe put this in your future scripts -> so your scripts are not just only absolutely great they will be according the RF2821/3.3
