Bare LFs in SMTP

1 Sep 09, 2007 19:54    

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

I just installed 1.10.2 on my Windows-based hosting server. When a new user creates an account it shows this error:

Sorry, the email with the link to validate and activate your password could not be sent.
Possible reason: the PHP mail() function may have been disabled on the server.

I turned on debug and it turns out I get a warning:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html. in C:\hshome\jlwatt\samanthawatt.com\inc\_misc\_misc.funcs.php on line 2352

The link it references says there are Bare LFs in SMTP message. When I research that here I find nothing. When I research it other places it says put \r\n in the emails for line feeds instead of \n.

I did this but cannot get it to work still.

Email seems to work for the rest of my PHP applications on that same server.

Anyone have any ideas?

Did you try in ../blogs/inc/_misc/_misc.funcs.php on line 2280:

$NL = "\n";


Change it to:

$NL = "\r\n";

Good luck

Thanks for the response!

I tried that before my post and changed the replace command so it searched for \n and \r and replaced with $NL.

No luck!

It dawned on me after the last post that if I am searching for \n and replacing it with \r\n I could end up with \r\r\n.

So I changed the search at about 2343 to:

$message = str_replace( array( "\n", "\r" ), $NL, $message );
$message = str_replace( "\r\r\n", $NL, $message );
$message = str_replace( "\r\n\n", $NL, $message );

and that seems to have done it!

I hope this will help someone else.
