fEmail $headers bug?

posted by lutsen 7 years ago

When using the fEmail class to send e-mails, certain from and to e-mail address combinations produce an error. It seems to have something to do with the $headers variable in the mail() function. When I remove this variable in line 1467, the error is gone.

From the few different addresses I have tested, the error occurs with a combination of a to- and from e-mail address that both share our own domain (hoverkraft.nl), and a combination of hoverkraft.nl and gmail.com.

Any ideas on what causes this?

Oh, and by the way: I think Flourish is great!

@lutsen

What is the error it produces? Do you have an example of the code which you are using leading up to this?

Sorry for my slow repy.

This is the error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'fConnectivityException' with message 'An error occured while trying to send the email entitled TEST' in /test_bless/flourish/fEmail.php:1478 Stack trace:

0 /www/test_bless/test.php(16): fEmail->send()
1 {main} thrown in /test_bless/flourish/fEmail.php on line 1478

This is the code:

$email = new fEmail();
$email->addRecipient('xxx@hoverkraft.nl');
$email->setFromEmail('xxx@hoverkraft.nl');
$email->setSubject('TEST');
$email->setBody('TEST');
$email->send();

As I said: the error occurs with a combination of a to- and from e-mail address that both share our own domain (hoverkraft.nl), and a combination of hoverkraft.nl and gmail.com. Other addresses do work. It seems to have something to do with the $headers variable in the mail() function. When I remove this variable in line 1467 in fEmail.php, the error is gone.

@lutsen are there any strange characters in the from e-mails? I understand you don't want to show the e-mails here, but this is the only thing you're indicating is differing. Given that it's using the system's mail command my guess is it's not properly escaping one of the e-mails when it passes the arguments.

No, no strange characters, just replace the xxx with lutsen. But as I said, if I remove the $headers variable in the mail() in line 1467 of the fEmail class, it does work. So I guess it has something to do with the headers...

var_dump the $headers variable at that point and paste it here?

It seems sometimes the Message-ID is not set. At first I thought this caused the error, but it happens with working- and non-working e-mail addresses. And the non-working are never sent, and the working are allways sent, eventhough they also sometimes seem to have no Message-ID.

string(169) "From: xxx@hoverkraft.nl Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable"

string(169) "From: xxx@hoverkraft.nl Message-ID: <1e7f078b44.1341347820@> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable"
