[Resolved] Send mail with sockets error 0

AusCat

I had a script that sent emails fine with sockets. Now it isn't working. Would the problem be with the ISP changing their mail server settings or what? If mail settings, what could they have changed to stop it suddenly working?

The error is an infinite loop of :

Notice: fputs(): send of 6 bytes failed with errno=0 Unknown Error in d:-----\library\functions_mail.php on line 251

Notice: fputs(): send of 7 bytes failed with errno=0 Unknown Error in d:------\library\functions_mail.php on line 251

..... and so forth- increasing by a byte each error

and the line error is inconsistent - i.e. changes between different fputs statements.

I open the socket connection and then send multiple e-mails and then close the connection.

If I replace the message with a short text message - it seems to work but the long html emails that it should be sending causes it to kick up the error.

Thanks for the help.

Well, after wasting a lot of time - it seems it was some problem with PHP stripping out the \r's - and the mail server refusing it. Or the other way round - didn't quite catch what the ISP guy said.

Anyway - if anyone else has the extremely frustrating and time wasting time I just did - it's to do with that.

I figure it must be a setting that's changed on the mail server that no longer ignores the error ( my script was running on a windows server to a linux mail server so that must be what's caused it).

Hope this eventually helps someone as I couldn't find any help on the Net for the error.

Happy coding.
