No validation email to Hotmail addresses

Hi olaf, I mentioned in another thread about not being able to receive validation emails if I enter an Hotmail address into the register form.

I have checked all folders on my Hotmail account and it simply doesn't get there (not even in the Junk Folder).

I know you said that you'd be looking into it but you also asked me to make a new thread for this...

I'm using these scripts...

Hi,
The problem is not the class, its a header thing with you server...

try to change the mail function like described in the php manual:

Code:

<?php
mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message,
    "From: webmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}", "-fwebmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}");
?>

I know you said that you'd be looking into it but you also asked me to make a new thread for this...

this is what you have posted in the other thread:

Login and/or password did not match to the database. The auto login doesn't work

what is this about?

It was about the automatic account activation - someone told me to set the activation thing to "true", but the account did not automatically activate.

I'm an idiot newbie so can I clarify something? I replace this:

Code:

function send_mail($mail_address, $msg = 29, $subj = 28, $send_admin = false) {
$header = "From: \"".$this->webmaster_name."\" <".$this->webmaster_mail.">\n";
if ($send_admin) $header .= "Bcc: ".ADMIN_MAIL."\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Mailer: Olaf's mail script version 1.11\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
$subject = $this->messages($subj);
$body = $this->messages($msg);
if (mail($mail_address, $subject, $body, $header)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

with this?

Code:

mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message,
    "From: webmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}", "-fwebmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}");

[, "-fwebmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}"]

add this value:


if (mail($mail_address, $subject, $body, $header, "-fwebmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}")) {

(the bold part)

By the way this class is not written for newbies

Hi, I made the change and when I press Submit on the register page, it gives me this error:

Warning: mail(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The fifth parameter is disabled in SAFE MODE. in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/adkm.34sp.com/httpdocs/classes/access_user/access_user_class.php on line 470

Warning: mail(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The fifth parameter is disabled in SAFE MODE. in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/adkm.34sp.com/httpdocs/classes/access_user/access_user_class.php on line 470

from the manual:
This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. Since PHP 4.2.3 this parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will expose a warning message and return FALSE if you're trying to use it.

then you have a problem (or you have to wait until the version using external mail programs is ready)

thanks mate, i'll keep an eye out. you're great!

Hi Dude, gmail.com doesn't receive mails send by the Access User Class. Other addresses work fine. This is the code:
function send_mail($mail_address, $msg = 29, $subj = 28, $send_admin = false) {
   $header = "From: \"".$this->webmaster_name."\" <".$this->webmaster_mail.">\r\n";
      if ($send_admin) $header .= "Bcc: ".ADMIN_MAIL."\r\n";
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
   $header .= "Mailer: Olaf's mail script version 1.11\r\n";
   $header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
   $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";
   $subject = $this->messages($subj);
   $body = $this->messages($msg);
   if (mail($mail_address, $subject, $body, $header)) {
      return true;
   } else {
      return false;
   }
}


How can I test this? Do you have any experience with it? If I send a mail from Outlook with the same sender address gmail receives it fine. (?)

I think its time to publish the connector to use AU with my email class...I need the weekend I think...

Olaf, just want to let you know that I solved the problem by taking out this line:
$header .= "Mailer: Olaf's mail script version 1.11\r\n";

And replaced it with my own line. I made something up. Not used my own or anyone else's name of course.

I gather that some mail servers (gmail.com in my case) saw that line as an sign of abuse. Maybe somebody used your AU class in a bad way? In any case my problem is solved now. Later dude.

strange this mail snippet is based on an older mailscript from my website, but thank you for sharing that.

btw. my newer mail scripts doesn't have this link (and they are working good)

using classes in PHP needs some fundamental knowledge of PHP, sorry this class is not really a beginners script...

I have been learning php and I have very well learned the python programing language from only using examples and using premade scripts I learn very fast if I use examples like your class.
