My mail server is making this noise: AAArrruuuuggggha.

Seriously. Is this something I'm doing wrong, or is my SMTP server just being a jackass?



Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.5.0 <name <name@domain.com>> '@' or '.' expected after 'name' in /htdocs-ke/bin/lib/mail.class.php on line 23

Works fine when I use nothing but an email as the From: or To: header, but I can't use "Name <email@address.com>" for whatever reason.

PHP Code:


			
$szTo = $szUsername . " <" . $szEmail . ">";

return mail($szTo, $szSubject, $szBody, $szFrom);

No go. Looks fine to me and according to the PHP manual for the mail function, it uses that convention too. *looks at Salathe*

I think you're best off using a normal email address in the first argument. And then for the headers using an array which you can implode by new line, as the header argument accepts a string, I believe.

php Code:

$aHeader = array
{
    'to:' => 'Adam <adam@example.org>',
    'from:' => 'Bob <bob@example.org'
}
