Hello!
I was just trying to send my mails with CI3 with default mail() function, but getting an error
(German) Die E-Mail konnte mit PHP mail() nicht gesendet werden. Ihr Server ist offenbar nicht konfiguriert, um mit dieser Methode E-Mails zu versenden.
(Translated) The email could not be sent with with PHP mail(). Your server is apparently not configured to send e-mails using this method.
Strange thing, that if i use pure mail() function without CI3, it works! I was following down the error and found in Email library.
The function
PHP Code:
protected function _send_with_mail()
{
if (is_array($this->_recipients))
{
$this->_recipients = implode(', ', $this->_recipients);
}
if ($this->_safe_mode === TRUE)
{
return mail($this->_recipients, $this->_subject, $this->_finalbody, $this->_header_str);
}
else
{
// most documentation of sendmail using the "-f" flag lacks a space after it, however
// we've encountered servers that seem to require it to be in place.
return mail($this->_recipients, $this->_subject, $this->_finalbody, $this->_header_str, '-f '.$this->clean_email($this->_headers['Return-Path']));
}
}
As you can see, there is a check if PHP is running in safe mode, if no, use this:
PHP Code:
return mail($this->_recipients, $this->_subject, $this->_finalbody, $this->_header_str, '-f '.$this->clean_email($this->_headers['Return-Path']));
And that doesn't work! The fifth parameter is one which breaks sending mails. If i remove it, it works.
My server is running with Debian 7.8 and latest php-fpm and sendmail. Is there some solution not to touch the core library?
