I want to use the pear mail extension to send SMTP authenticated emails. There are a lot of examples in the web... this is my code:
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$body = "Testtext";
$subject = "SMTP Testmail";
$mail_to = "valid.adress@test.com";
$mail_from = "valid.sender.adress@othertest.com";
//SMTP Verbindungsdaten
$host = "valid.smtp.com";
$username = "invalidusername@othertest.com";
$password = "validpasswordforotheruser";
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array (
'host' => $host,
//'auth' => true,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password
));
$headers = array (
'From' => $mail_from,
'To' => $mail_to,
'Subject' => $subject
);
$mail = $smtp->send($mail_to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo "Error during sending E-Mail : ". $mail->getMessage();
}
?>
The script worked well so I wanted to test the error case of this sample and changed the smtp user to something invalid and it sill worked... I have got my mail.
How can this be?
Greetings
edit: I have done an other test now and changed the smtp server to be something invalid... documentation say that there must be an "PEAR_MAIL_SMTP_ERROR_CONNECT" error... I'm getting the following output: "fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to xx.xx.xx.xxx:25 (Connection refused) in /usr/local/lib/php/Net/Socket.php on line 108"
"Catchable fatal error: Object of class PEAR_Error could not be converted to string in /usr/local/lib/php/Net/SMTP.php on line 222"
Where does this IP coming from when the smtp name is invalid??? Can it be the server is overrules by any config?
