Sending Newsletter ErrorNovember 3, 2009 @ 11:30am
Newsletters are not sending and I'm getting this error:

Warning: mail(): Bad parameters to mail() function, mail not sent. in /home/content/t/h/e/thecyberhost/html/rotary/inc-nl-admin-newsletter_sendfinal.php on line 105

Hi Andrew,

That's usually due to how you or your host has the server set up. Some like to prevent PHP from setting the return address.

If you can't get it changed to allow that to be used, look at the file and line indicated in the error and you'll see this:
Code

if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, "", $MessageHeaders, '-f'.$Settings['ContactEmail'])) {
Remove the last parameter and end up with this:
Code

if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, "", $MessageHeaders)) {
Give that a try and see if that solves it for you. There are other areas of FlexCMS that send mail out which may also need to be updated depending on the site features you're using.

Andrew,

Lets see what's going on with those variables. Right above that line add this:
Code

print '<br><br>Address:'.$row4['Email'].'<br>Title:'.$StrippedTitle.'<br>Message:'.$MessageHeaders.'<br><br>';


You may get a bunch of them depending on how many subscribers are in the list. Paste back the output of that and we'll go from there.

Andrew,

Do you have an email address entered in Modify Site Preferences > Site Email Address ? If you do please post that output again but using the Code function of the forum, otherwise parts of it get removed.

Can you give some more information about where the site is hosted (your own computer, dedicated server, shared hosting, etc)?

Everything looks okay there, I just wasn't seeing the other parts with the forum removing what it thought were HTML tags.

What does your contact form do when you submit it?

You can also try adding this before the mail line:
Code

ini_set('sendmail_from', $Settings['ContactEmail']);

David,
Found part of the error:
if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, "", $MessageHeaders, '-f'.$Settings['ContactEmail'])) {

Remove the "", and the emails will send:

if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, $MessageHeaders, '-f'.$Settings['ContactEmail'])) {

only thing now is when i receive the email it is telling me I can't receive html emails

Ya that makes sense since the parameters aren't in the right places anymore. What used to be the message is now being filled with the headers that are usually hidden.

Instead of removing the "" try replacing it with $PlainTextMessage

How about this:


Code

ini_set('sendmail_from', $Settings['ContactEmail']);
if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, "", $MessageHeaders)) {

or

Code

ini_set('sendmail_from', $Settings['ContactEmail']);
if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, $PlainTextMessage, $MessageHeaders)) {


The contact form is much more basic, it doesn't use the HTML format and headers, so it's only a small comparison.

it has something to do with the message headers. if i remove all the headers:
$MessageHeaders .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\r\n boundary=\"".$BoundaryID."\"\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= $PlainTextMessage;
$MessageHeaders .= "--".$BoundaryID."\r\n".
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n".
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= chunk_split(base64_encode($PlainTextMessage));
$MessageHeaders .= "--".$BoundaryID."\r\n".
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n".
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= chunk_split(base64_encode($HTMLMessage));

and replace with:

$MessageHeaders .= $HTMLMessage

it sends the email with correct Title and From fields but doesn't format the HTML correctly in the email so you just see the HTML code. Does this help?

We've never had this problem before, and that code has been the same in there for a couple years now, so at the risk of blaming the hosting company it seems as if maybe GoDaddy is blocking sending mail with certain content in it (HTML perhaps?). They are notorious for restricting their systems in very strange ways.

Try this and see what happens:

Code

$MessageHeaders .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

ini_set('sendmail_from', $Settings['ContactEmail']);
if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, $HTMLMessage, $MessageHeaders)) {


or


Code

$MessageHeaders .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, $HTMLMessage, $MessageHeaders, '-f'.$Settings['ContactEmail'])) {



The headers definitely need to be there, that's what tells it to display the message as HTML instead of plain text.

The first one did it. I agree it is most likely GoDaddy restriction on headers. Thank you for your help. FlexCMS is probably one of the simplest full featured CMS products I have used. Thank you again for your help and I will definately be upgrading as we add more features to the site.

Not a problem, glad you finally got it going. I'll add this to the list for future investigation and see if we figure out a modification that works with GoDaddy but still offers all the features it previously had (your current configuration there is going to only display properly for people who have HTML mail clients, which I guess presently will be most of them). Also keep in mind that you've made that modification for any future upgrades you do.

The other areas that might bite you are the forum/message board (sends out optional notification emails when new messages are posted), the store (order and shipping confirmations), and general site functions like registration confirmation, lost password, email this page/article, etc. I'd have to go through them all to make sure but I think you might be okay, the newsletter may be the only one that's tied to the editor and offers HTML formatted emails in this version. The others should be the simple version without headers just like the contact form.

When you get a moment could you please post or email to the IP of the server you're currently hosted on (should be listed in the FlexCMS control panel under View Server and Version Information), and what exactly GoDaddy calls the hosting package you have. That will help us with further testing on that issue in the future. I'd love to test out some other options on your exact account if you'd like to give us your FTP information, but if not that's definitely understandable.

Thanks for using FlexCMS, we're glad you like it!

David

File NameMay 11, 2011 @ 3:16pm
For anyone with a godaddy host and getting this error, the file that needs modified is inc-nl-admin-newsletter_sendfinal.php

around line 82 replace this:

Code


$MessageHeaders = 'From: "'.$Settings['SiteName'].'" <'.$Settings['ContactEmail'].'>'."\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\r\n boundary=\"".$BoundaryID."\"\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= $PlainTextMessage;
$MessageHeaders .= "--".$BoundaryID."\r\n".
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n".
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= chunk_split(base64_encode($PlainTextMessage));
$MessageHeaders .= "--".$BoundaryID."\r\n".
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n".
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= chunk_split(base64_encode($HTMLMessage));

}
else {
$Message = "\n".$StrippedMessage."\n\n\n\n".$Settings['SiteName']."\n".$BaseURL."\n\n\n".$MsgText[5][28].":\n".$MainURL."/newsletter/unsubscribe_confirm/".$row4['Email']."/".$row4['ConfirmationCode'];

$MessageHeaders = 'From: "'.$Settings['SiteName'].'" <'.$Settings['ContactEmail'].'>'."\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n".'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"'."\r\n".'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit'."\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= $Message;
}


if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, "", $MessageHeaders, '-f'.$Settings['ContactEmail'])) {


with this:

Code



$MessageHeaders = 'From: "'.$Settings['SiteName'].'" <'.$Settings['ContactEmail'].'>'."\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";





}
else {
$Message = "\n".$StrippedMessage."\n\n\n\n".$Settings['SiteName']."\n".$BaseURL."\n\n\n".$MsgText[5][28].":\n".$MainURL."/newsletter/unsubscribe_confirm/".$row4['Email']."/".$row4['ConfirmationCode'];

$MessageHeaders = 'From: "'.$Settings['SiteName'].'" <'.$Settings['ContactEmail'].'>'."\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n".'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"'."\r\n".'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit'."\r\n\r\n";
$MessageHeaders .= $Message;
}

ini_set('sendmail_from', $Settings['ContactEmail']);
if (mail($row4['Email'], $StrippedTitle, $HTMLMessage, $MessageHeaders)) {


Again this is flexcms 3.1, I am going to upgrade to 3.2.1 and will post if the same changes need made after the upgrade

Results after upgrade to 3.2.1May 11, 2011 @ 4:49pm
After upgrading, there was no error message and it went through the process of sending, but then I never received the newsletter email. So back to the original fix editing inc-nl-admin-newsletter_sendfinal.php and everything works again.
