PHP error/cannot send mail via RoundCube

[jeffshead]

Windows 2003, Apache 2.2.x, PHP 5.2.x

Just did full install of 0.2.1.

I previously had 0.2a working. After creating a new database and full install of 0.2.1, I get the following error when attempting to send a new message via RoundCube:

[13-Mar-2009 10:36:41] PHP Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: SMTP server response: 501 Syntax error in parameters in C:\folder\program\steps\mail\func.inc on line 1315

My 'main.inc.php' files (old & new) have the same settings.

Maybe it's a Windows mail() implementation problem? From PHP manual "As such, the to parameter should not be an address in the form of "Something <someone@…>". The mail command may not parse this properly while talking with the MTA."

Something changed with 0.2.1. I switched back to 0.2a and it works fine. I never changed anything else in PHP or Apache.

In version 0.2.1, I noticed the name of the sender is also displayed with the sender's e-mail address in the drop down box when sending a new message. Could this be the cause? Maybe the name is being added to the sender's e-mail when sending.

Here is a snippet from my e-mail server log:

2009-03-28 03:14:44 <TRACE-2>: SmtpReceiver?: 0002: RCPT TO: <¨-´> 2009-03-28 03:14:44 <TRACE-2>: SmtpReceiver?: 0002: Problem extracting an address from the string '<<jeffshead@…>>':

I see there is an extra set of <> around the 'to' address.

If this is what I'm talking about, try this patch.

Thank you Alec. Did a quick test after adding your code... Seems to have solved the problem.

Is your patch a neccessary addition to RoundCube so it is compatable with Windows installations or is there a configuration problem with my paticular mail system?

As stated in PHP manual it's problem with Windows mail() implementation. Patch applied in r2370.
