Hey,
I had a hard disc problem last week on my server. I replaced the disc and
copied al the files to the new hard disc, everything works fine again except
some php scripts that are using the mail() function. When executing these
scripts I get this error:
"500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguratio n and was unable
to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, we*******@mydom ain.com and inform
them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that
may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log."
In my logs I find this:malformed header from script. Bad
header=/home/mydomain/dead.letter...: php-script
Does somebody know what the problem could be?

The program invoked by the mail() function (often sendmail) is generating
an error message, which is messing up your output since the web server
thinks it is supposed to be a CGI header, but it isn't.
Temporary workaround: output some text
(e.g. <html><head><ti tle>This is a title</title></head><body>\n")
*before* calling the mail function. You will see the error message
text in the output from your page. Then figure out what it means.
*SOMETHING* is wrong with the mail and it's saving it in a dead.letter
file because it can't deliver it.

I have tried this, but I'm still receiving this error. The online line I
have in my php file is the line with the mail function.

When you see the error message, then click "view source" in your

before it into a post.

Lieven,
Looks like your mail() function is aborting for some reason. I suspect it may
be taking one of the Apache processes with it.
Anything in your Apache log?
What MTA are you using, and is it running OK? I suspect this may be an in-house
system (since you talked about disk failure). Can you send mail from your email
program using the MTA on this system (not your ISP's)?

I'm using sendmail. This is a server that is running a hostingsapplica tion
(ensim). It uses sendmail to send emails. My emailclient uses this server as
outgoing server and this is working fine, I downloaded a php class that
makes it possible to send mail by specifying a smtp sever and when I use
'localhost' as smtp server this is working fine. If I lower the security
level of a domain (this is a setting in my hostingsapplica tion), the mail
functions works again, but it is really unsecure to do this for all my
customers.
The only error that I find was the one I mentioned earlier, the 'malformed
header from script...'. Thnaks for your help!!

Lieven,
Did you try asking the authors of the PHP class? Not knowing what it does (or
even which class it is) makes it impossible to tell what's going on.
Does a simple mail() command work? That would be the place to start if you're
asking in this group.

Lieven,

This script is just the normal phpmailer
(http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/), there you can specify that you want to
use smtp like this:
$mailman = new PHPMailer();
$mailman->IsSMTP();
Using this tool, sending mails from our php scripts works, but it is
impossible to ask all our customers to change their php scripts.

you're asking in this group.
No, that is the whole problem. The mail function doesn't work anymore. After
a hard disk crash I copied the whole corrupt hard disk to a new disk,
everything else is working perfectly afterworths except php scripts that are
using the mail() function are getting the internal server error. I didn't
change anything to my configuration files or didn't update any application
on the server. Only raisonable explenation I have is that their must be some
kind of file corrupt after copying it to the new disk.

I'd say, allthough a terrible job, back up settings and files, and install
everything as new. Who knows what else has become corrupt, that you just
haven't found out? It could be a simple function that doesn't work, it could
you're having a major security risk somewhere.

Hi,
I have this website that contains an internal message system that allows

the system so that when a user receives an internal message, the system
will send an actual email to the user's email address.
here's the sample code:

Hi,
Have hunted around on the groups and can't find anything, hence.
I've tried this against 2 mail servers (mailtraq and hmailserver) and
it occus with both.
The problems seems to be that when the SMTPClient attaches to the
server and the server sends it greeting message, if anything other than
+OK is received by the client it throws an exception and falls over.
