sending '1' e-mail w/ multiple rcpt's

[Anon]

Hi there...

I seem to be hitting a snag on this bit of code I pulled down from here...

I've got a function:

SendEMail($emailTo, $emailFrom, $emailSubject, $emailBody)

.. and I concat all these parameters into a string called: $emailStream

.. and I take that and use 'fsockopen()' to connect to a mail server...

and then I fputs($sock, $emailStream) my email message to the server...

like so:

$emailStream = "HELO ".$mailServer."\n";
$emailStream .= "MAIL FROM: ".$emailFrom."\n";
$emailStream .= "RCPT TO: ".$emailTo."\n";
$emailStream .= "DATA\n";
.. etc.

.. the issue I'm having is when I specify more than 1 email address in my $emailTo string.. i.e. $emailTo = "[e-mail]" works fine, but $emailTo = "[e-mail], [e-mail]"

no matter what seperator i use, comma, semicolon, etc.. it cheeses..

any ideas?

Hi,

Im pretty sure you cant just use your own mail headers, e.g. MAIL FROM: must be From:

Cant you just use the mail() function to send email? its certainly alot easier.

Hi Elfyn,

I'm restricted from using the mail() function because I don't have access to adjust the php.ini file.. so I need to send mail via an external mail server..

I guess my real question has to do with the SMTP protocall. and how to send the same e-mail to many people.. i.e. from looking at the RFC's, I should be able to do:

HELO mail.who.org
MAIL FROM: [e-mail]
RCPT TO: [e-mail]
RCPT TO: [e-mail]
.. etc..

but that doesn't seem to work either..

odd...

Hi,

Well if you cant use the mail function i suggest that you speak directly with sendmail ha ha...

What i mean is take the gutsy route like perl does to send your e-mail, that is of course excluded if on windows.

There are some good examples on phphelp.com, and as im in a good mood i got the url for ya,

http://www.phphelp.com/tutorial/talking-to-sendmail.html

This will show you how, just put the...

HELO mail.who.org
MAIL FROM: [e-mail]
RCPT TO: [e-mail]
RCPT TO: [e-mail]

where Testing\n is,

Hope this helps,

Elfyn
