Error message when using mail()

[eluser]Robb__[/eluser]
I got a strange message after moving my site to a different server, it sounds bad. Did I choose the wrong host?

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: mail() [function.mail]: mail() - double newline in headers, possible injection, mail dropped

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 1232

if you are working on localhost than you would have to configure your smtp in php.ini file and restart the server.
if you are working on domain provided by other servers, case is different,

in both the cases the mail script you are using must have the mail address same for senders mail address.

eg.
var $useragent = "CodeIgniter";
var $mailpath = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; // Sendmail path
var $protocol = "mail"; // mail/sendmail/smtp
var $smtp_host = "mail.server.in"; // SMTP Server. Example: mail.earthlink.net
var $smtp_user = ""; // SMTP Username
var $smtp_pass = ""; // SMTP Password

is the Email.php file, you need to configure it to send mail, i suppose.

i think this might help you out.

This info is correct according to my server-provider

var $useragent = "Code Igniter";
var $smtp_host = "xyz"; // SMTP Server. Example: mail.earthlink.net
var $smtp_user = "myuser"; // SMTP Username
var $smtp_pass = "mypassw"; // SMTP Password
var $smtp_port = "25"; // SMTP Port
var $smtp_timeout = 5; // SMTP Timeout in seconds

This I'm not sure about:

var $mailpath = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; // Sendmail path
var $protocol = "mail"; // mail/sendmail/smtp

How do I check this?

Below this i am getting my email template. in plain/text and plain/html format

I am loading my email library using this code

$config['protocol'] = 'mail';
$config['wordwrap'] = FALSE;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$this->load->library('email',$config)

[eluser]MCrittenden[/eluser]
Any updates here? I'm getting the same errors as #3.

[eluser]smilie[/eluser]
@MCrittenden:
If you receive same message as #3, then this is the clue:

Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to http://mail7.space2u.com/:25 (Unable to find the socket transport “http” - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?)

If you are trying this on your webhost server, there is a good chance that they have secured fsockopen function within PHP and do not allow it to connect remotely. Which would explain the problem :-)

Smilie

@smilie: Thanks! Figured it out, I was telling CI to use the wrong port. Changed smtp_port to 25 and all works as expected.
