Foward email with PHP

[beforedawn]

Hi all,

I am trying to write a script that will download all my pop3 email from various accounts and then forward it all on to one of 2 addresses, depending on its size.

Downloading the pop3 has been fine using the pear package.

The problem is that I can't find an efficient way of simply downloading the mail and sending it on.

Initially i spent a while finding all the possible combinations of multipart mail and using pear's mimedecode; the script is working but less than perfect.

I figure there must be an easy of forwarding mail on?

Thanks in advance.

Downloading the pop3 has been fine using the pear package.

Which package? Mail_IMAP?

Initially i spent a while finding all the possible combinations of multipart mail and using pear's mimedecode; the script is working but less than perfect.

So you're parsing the message, then trying to create a new message pretty much exactly the same? I would get the message as is using getRawHeaders and getRawMessage (or equivalent), then just use the standard mail command to send it.

Hi,

I am using net_pop3.

Here is my code, but it won't work. The email do not come appear as they should.

Assume connected using pop3 class and mailId is the message id:

$body = $pop3->getBody($mailId);
$raw = htmlspecialchars($pop3->getRawHeaders($mailId));

mail($address, '', $body, $raw);

There is no get raw mesage function in net_pop3

thanks

It's not well documented, but looking at the source for the latest version getBody() should be returning the raw message body.

Why are you putting the headers through htmlspecialchars?

I saw this done by someone else who was using that but the problem is with the message body not the headers as I do get the email.

The body is always just one solid bit of text with no spacers.

While it's entirely possible there's a problem in the body, it would be nice to eliminate the simple first. Did you try it without the htmlspecialchars? If you really insist you want it there you can always put it back afterwards.

Sorry took so long, I have been playign about with this but still no luck.

I have removed the htlspecialchars function and nothing changes the problem is with the body.

thanks

Can you please run the program on a very small email (say with a 1x1 gif attached), and write the headers (without htmlspecialchars) and body out to a file, then attach it to your next reply.

It all seems to be working now but how do I change the envelope-to value so I can forward the mail on rather than send it back to the address that just received it.

Is there a way of getting the parsed headers changing some values and then converting that back into the raw format?

Would I just need to loop through the array and concatenate to make a string?

thanks

[beforedawn]

can someone help me with this, please. It's driving me crazy.

I tried impoding the array with \r\n but it didn't work. Does anybody else have any ideas?

thanks
