Email Forms: Once again

Will · Post by **Will** » Tue 10. Aug 2004, 18:21

Hello,

First at all, I want to let you know that I've made an exhaustive search on this subject... It does help me a lot, however, I'm still getting a weird result.

The form fields are quite common ones:
IT|name|1|Nombre: |40,100||300
IT|email|1|Email: |40,100||300
TA|comments|1|Comentarios: |20,5||300
IH|send_copy|1||40,100|1|300
IH|redirect|0||10,100|http://www.publiman.com/index.php?gracias|0
IH|redirect_error|0||10,100|http://www.publiman.com/index.php?error|0

The recipient is will at mystamps.net (me).

Everything seems to be as they should be (hopefully) and all I got is an email sent to the user (the one who tried to send the email) telling him that there was a problem while trying to send the email.

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

will (at) mystamps.net
Unrouteable address
(plus a copy of the original email.. with:
?iso-8859-1?B?TnVldm8gQ29tZW50YXJpbyBlbiBNeVN0YW1wcy5ORVQ=?=
as Subject. My Subject is just: Nuevo Comentario de MyStamps.NET)

The email address is working fine... I've even changed the SMTP_MAILER variable from sendmail to mail, back and forth, with no success.

Any ideas? I think it's beyond phpWCMS and that I should contact my hosting provider.... but why I didnt get two emails with this error (recipient and user)?

TIA,

Funny...

I tried to send a comment given will at mystamps.net as the email... and now I got no emails... :/

Might this be a sort of trace error between Publiman's server and Mystamps'?? Unfortunelly, I don't have telnet access to make a ping from one server to the other...

ROFL!!

Of course it is a real @ sign!!! I just change it here to prevent spiders...

Sorry.. I am a bit paranoic about spamming...

hehe

sorry didn't understand that!
so please set it back to the normal mailer! in the conf.inc.php
and try it again!

this must work!*gg

conf.inc.php line 82

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['SMTP_MAILER']       = 'mail';

Are you SURE you're not using any "unusual" scheme for email address?

http://www.imc.org/ietf-822/old-archive1/msg03412.html

=?ISO-8859-1?B?-abc?= (illegal character in "encoded-text"
according to the indicated "encoding")

=?ISO-8859?Q?a?= (illegal "charset")

=?ISO-8859-1?A?a?= (illegal "encoding")

=?ISO-8859-1?Q? a?= (illegal character in "encoded-text")

=?ISO-8859-1?B?-abc?= (illegal character in "encoded-text"
according to the indicated "encoding")

J=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=E4?=rnefors ("encoded-word" not separated
by linear white-space from its
surroundings)

If NOT, Maybe you should try a different charset other than ISO-8859-1:

Thanks for your answer...

I change it to just:

Nuevo Comentario

I think this phrase does not contain any illegal chars to that char set...

same error...

Oops.. You just edited your message.. That's a problem with this CHAT programs...

))

Anyway... I saw I was setting the form to send it as HTML.. I change it to text as I dont really need it in HTML... so, if my memory serves, there should not be any encoded text...

I changed the subject to Nuevo...

Still not success.

I took a pic of the email form settings:

There's something that is biting my ears...

If I tried to send a message using castillow at tutopia.com, I got the email with the error... BUT, if I use the very same email address I use as recipint (will at blahblah), then I got nothing... Don't you think it is that both servers can't see each other???? Damn! I don't have telnet access...

it is still a big mystery to me...

I just made everything I could imagine...
