PHP Mail problems

Hi all,

I've got a problem with sending mail from my local box! Anytime I try to
send mail through a script I get the following error:

Warning: mail() [
function.mail]:
SMTP server response: 501 Bad address syntax in ***

I know it's not the script as it works fine on my hosts web server...
PHP ini snip is as follows

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.metronet.c om
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = My****@tesco.ne t
My config is:
PHP 5.05
Apache 2

Any help/pointers much appreciated!

This is not a PHP problem -- you need to fix your SMTP server
(sendmail, postfix, or whatever)
Start by making sure your config file is accurate, you may want to use
WebMin for this since MTA config files are famous for being hairy. If
that doesn't help, try downloading the the most recent version, and
compile from source if possible.

Hi I'm trying to create e-mail content using the email.MIMEText module. It basically works, until I tried to send mail in non-ascii format. What I did, to test both iso-8859-15 and UTF-8 encodings, was this: ---- from email.MIMEText import MIMEText m=MIMEText(u"body text including an Euro char \u20ac\n", _charset="iso-8859-15") m = "from@mail.invalid"

Hi All, I'm experiencing problems with sending mail using mail() to forwarded email accounts. The problem seems to revolve around the optional 4th argument of mail(), namely 'additional headers'. It seems that when I populate this 4th argument of mail(), any emails sent to an email forwarding service email address (ukreg/fasthosts actually) fail to reach their destination. Direct email addresses seem to work fine.
