Sendmail not working from local PHP when headers not specified
- by Dan
Hi. I'm having trouble getting my local XAMPP server to send emails via my remote SMTP server.
In PHP, if I put:
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n";
mail('[email protected]', 'test', '', $headers);
Then this works. However, if I don't specify the header, ie.:
mail('[email protected]', 'test', '');
Then this fails. The sendmail.log file says:
smtpstatus=554 smtpmsg='554 Message refused.' errormsg='the server did not accept the mail' exitcode=EX_UNAVAILABLE
I've tried changing my sendmail command in my php.ini to:
sendmail_path = "C:/xampp/sendmail/sendmail.exe -t -f [email protected]"
but this doesn't work either.
Thanks for any help with this,
Dan.
ps. this is on windows.
