CodeIgniter电子邮件不起作用

Question

I configured an SMTP server accessible via localhost.

PHP mail() command works fine, I use it in scheduled tasks to email backups as attachments.

If I use CodeIgniter v1.7.2 email library using the following code, and the CI debug output says the message is sent, but the SMTP server logs show Bad Sender.

        $this->CI->load->library('email');

        $config['protocol'] = 'mail';
        $config['smtp_host'] = 'localhost';
        $config['mailtype'] = 'html';
        $config['crlf']        = "\r\n";        // CHANGED FROM DEFAULTS
        $config['newline']     = "\r\n";        // CHANGED FROM DEFAULTS

        $this->CI->email->initialize($config);

        $this->CI->email->from('noreply@hiddendomain.com');
        $this->CI->email->to($_POST['email']); 

        $this->CI->email->subject('Password Reset');
        $this->CI->email->message('Testing the email class. <a href="http://www.google.co.uk">test</a>');   

        $this->CI->email->send();

This is the log from PHP mail for 2 messages (changed domains to hiddendomain1/2)

This is the log after sending via CodeIgniter, as you can see the CI email library is adding the < char to the From address, can any help tell me why? is this is bug with CI?

It looks the bug was reported here but shunned off as a problem with the SMTP server but it seems the problem is indeed a compatibility issues with the CI lib: http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/114030/

I am pretty damn sure that this is a problem with CI as PHP mail works fine. Can anyone confirm? because if not I need to change the script I use with CI. I can provide any logs / details

Answer 1

I used to have the same problem, I did this change in my code:

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['validate'] = 'FALSE';

I hope that works for you
