PHP mail() Funktion kann nicht über Exchange versenden.

Found this at PHP Everywhere:

It's easy to send email from PHP on Windows with PHP's built-in Mail function. All you need is an SMTP mail server to send to.

Installation
Modify the [mail function] section of the PHP.INI file which should now be residing in your C:WINDOWS directory. For example, assuming you had an e-mail address at me@myaddress.com and the SMTP server that you normally configure your e-mail clients to use to send e-mail is smtp.server.com, you would change that section of PHP.INI to read:

[mail function]
SMTP = smtp.server.com ; for win32 only
sendmail_from = me@myaddress.com ; for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well ; (default is sendmail -t)

The test string I used to make sure my example worked:
<?php
print mail ('johnlim@natsoft.com.my',
'No need for reply -- PHP test!', /* subject */
"hi JohnnLine 2n"); /* body */
?>

SMTP function for Exchange inside pnAPI.php done ! (Score: 1)

Hi,

Strange thing indeed, we have developped a transformed version of pnapi.php pnmail function to handle smtp on win32 platform...

The fact is that using php.ini to access smtp is sometimes not working on win32 smtp server.

We have validated the solution on Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13
(NT Domain behind MS proxy connected to an ADSL Route with NAT/PAT functions)...

And it works !

In fact we have taken a part of phpBB2 smtp function and integrated it inside PN.

This solution is actualy a hack with no form integration inside postnuke: i suggest to integrate it and be able to configure it from preferences admin panel... (but i don't know how to this : we need a check box e.g. : win32 smtp mailer yes/no and 3 areas : server ip account and optionally (no need on our configuration) password to have a full integration into the core.

What we have modified :
The pnmail now could handle standard postnuke mail function OR smtp win32 mode for the same function (especially working with MS Exchange server). The changes to %windir%php.ini are no more required : it's the reason why i post here : pn could integrate itself the good method to handle this type of operation !

The files (modified includes/pnapi.php and a new one includes/smtp.email.php) for pn phoenix (0.723) are available if you need it just ask for it here or here

You could also come to www.dunslab.net
and ask for it to the webmaster...
(this comment will be posted on main news page)

I think someone experienced with PNCore (MagicX ?) integration could probably take a look at it to integrate it on the CVS...

Regards to all Pnukers !
