PHP: imap_mail

Description

bool imap_mail ( string to, string subject, string message [, string additional_headers [, string cc [, string bcc [, string rpath]]]] )

This function allows sending of emails with correct handling of Cc and Bcc receivers. Возвращает TRUE в случае успешного завершения или FALSE в случае возникновения ошибки..

The parameters to, cc and bcc are all strings and are all parsed as rfc822 address lists.

The receivers specified in bcc will get the mail, but are excluded from the headers.

Use the rpath parameter to specify return path. This is useful when using PHP as a mail client for multiple users.

make sure you've correctly setup the SMTP parameters in php.ini

and aslo make sure that the SMTP server accepts relay



for some mail servers, you have to open up an imap stream, log in, and then you can send mail through imap_mail

FYI, to finish your message post over telnet, enter a period (".") by itself as the last line of the post. Took me a while to google this so I thought I'd share. Then you can disconnect with 'quit'.

Extending the above note.


When the socket connection is stablished, it works exactly as if you had openned a telnet connection to the news server. If you don't know what kind of headers you have to send to the news server, then I'll suggest that you better give it a try and play with a telnet connection like this:





telenet news.servername.com 119





eaxmple:





telnet news.euroconnect.dk 119


Trying 195.184.44.30...


Connected to news.euroconnect.net (195.184.44.30).


Escape character is '^]'.


200 news.euroconnect.net (Typhoon v1.2.1)





then you'll receive confirmation from the server that you are connected. Now type "help" and enter, and you'll see what commands are supported.





eaxmle:





help

If you want to post a message, you can start by entring the "post" command.





example:





post


340 Send Article to be Posted





From here you can start to enter the header information.


The most important headers are:


From:


Subject:


Newsgroup:





after the ":" a "white space" must follow.





If you are posting the multipart message then remember 



MIME-Version: 1.0





This one is also one of the important headers when you are posting a multipart message. The boundary must follow the content type in the same line.





Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------4A11A9ABCFCA70DD4E0C3605"





Take a look at the article below to find out more about headers and packing of the message.

If you need to send messages to a NNTP server, and you don't find the function, which is sufficient for this job, then use this.





$stream = fsockopen($server,$port, &$errno, &$errstr);


fwrite($stream, "POST\r\n");


fwrite($stream, "Newsgoups "$newsgroup."\n");


$fwrite ($stream, " What ever you need to write\n");


.........


fwrite($stream, "The rest of what you like to write\n");


fclose($stream);





There are ofcourse not so straight, but if you know which parameters your message needs, you can do it like this.





You can build up a message with imap_mail_compose ();





When you a complete message then U can write it to the server, and the server will take care of the time,  date, Massage-ID and so on, but you have to know the sturcture of the header which you make, and if you like to write a multipart message, then you better get to know it in details.





In case that you know a better way, please inform me.


Good luck.

You can change the From field in your message by specifying "From: blabla@yadayada.net" in the additional_headers field.
