Mailform send to other domain

Post by Nicky » Fri Aug 16, 2013 7:02 am

If i set a gmail address in my mailform (via configuration) this does not arrive because (according to my hosting provider) it is not sent to 'own domain'.

They (host) tell me to put 'headers' in the form, specifying the gmailaddress as destination.

I suppose this has to be done in 'mailform.php', but I have no idea which code exactly to add (and where) in this file.

Maybe someone can help out?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nicky,

Probably they meant to put appropriate headers in the mail. However, I believe there's a misunderstanding, as the destination address shouldn't matter, but the mail server might indeed block undesired senders. As it's now, the configured address is added as receiver (To) and the email address given in the form as sender (From). This happens in the following line:

Code: Select all

else if(!(@mail($cf['mailform']['email'], 'Mailform from '.sv('SERVER_NAME'), $msg, "From: ".stsl($sender)."\r\n"."X-Remote: ".sv('REMOTE_ADDR')."\r\n")))
You may try to change it like that:

Code: Select all

else if(!(@mail($cf['mailform']['email'], 'Mailform from '.sv('SERVER_NAME'), $msg, "From: ".$cf['mailform']['email']."\r\n"."X-Remote: ".sv('REMOTE_ADDR')."\r\n")))
To be able to see the sender's email address you have to modify the following line:

Code: Select all

$msg = ($tx['mailform']['sendername'] .": " .  stsl($sendername) . "\n" .  $tx['mailform']['senderphone'] .": ".  stsl($senderphone) . "\n\n"  . stsl($mailform));
Change it to:

Code: Select all

$msg = 'From: ' . stsl($sender) . "\n" . '($tx['mailform']['sendername'] .": " .  stsl($sendername) . "\n" .  $tx['mailform']['senderphone'] .": ".  stsl($senderphone) . "\n\n"  . stsl($mailform));
BTW: you should really update to at least CMSimple_XH 1.1.7 as soon as possible (it will be published in the next days or weeks). The old mailform code has several issues, which might affect sending mails on your domain.
