I've been battling PHP's email reading functions for the better part of two days. I'm writing a script to read emails from a mailbox and save any attachments onto the server.

I am using PHP with Apache on Linux, with sendmail. I use the PHP mail() function. The email is sent, but the envelope has the Apache_user@localhostname in MAIL FROM (example [email protected]) and some remote mailservers reject this because the domain doesn't exist (obviously). Using PHP mail(), can I force change the envelope M...

Over the years I have slowly developed a regular expression that validates MOST email addresses correctly, assuming they don't use an IP address as the server part. Currently the expression is: ^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$ I use this in several PHP programs, and it works most of the time. How...

The end result is an email to the case owner that is notified that a new case comment has been added. However, I ...
I have a custom application that was built to send opt-in newsletters and marketing emails. It does a pretty good job sending mail, but it doesn't respond at all to bounces or unsubscribe requests. It seems to me that rather than building that functionality myself I should use a mailing list manager such as LISTSERV. However, I'm not su...
