I used the mail function in php to send mails to my 25000 members in a loop..
After using it my server has gone very slow.. Load has increased a lot from 2 to around 20.. Major load is taken by sql and then httpd (both have increased)..
I had restarted mysql and httpd.. even reinstalled apache but no help..
how to set up the mail () function in my PHP.ini on a Linux server.
Is there a generic path that I need to use in order to allow the mail function to work in the scripts?
We do have a mail server set up, the address of which being "mail.companyname.com" ... do I need to insert that into the ini file somwhere instead?
I have problem:
1. Function mail(); not working
2. osCommerce e-mail error:
Code:
Gid 32157 is not permitted to relay mail, or has directly called /usr/sbin/exim instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.
3. Fowarders working only on internal accounts e-mail
fowarder@mydomain.com --> email@mydomain.com - working
fowarder@mydomain.com --> my-emiail123@mail.pl - not working
This is VPS cPanel (OpenVZ) on my dedicated server.
I am starting to webhosting company in it I have included a package will be free and add supported and also I want to disable some functions like mail() ..........I mean I want to disable SMTP services anyone have idea how can I do that.

when I run this function not show any error too.
for example I run this code:
<?php
echo "ok";
$to = 'myemail@mydomain.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: test@domainname.com' . "
" .
'Reply-To:test@test@domainname.com' . "
" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "sent";
}else{
echo "notsent";
}
?>
I have just changed servers and uploaded a mail() script which was working on my previous config but does not work on the new server config. What is stopping the emails from being delivered, is there something new in WHM that I need to do?
Here are my WHM and cPanel details:
WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.15.0-R18264
REDHAT 4 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0
I just re-installed PHP4, Apache, and MySQL and now the "mail" function in PHP will not work. Is there a way to correct this? Is there some configuration value in Apache or PHP I must change?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have mixed feelings on the mail() function in php. I've seen it send out amazing numbers of emails and yet I keep reading that it is prone to problems. I'm wondering if someone can put an approximation on what you could/would send out in say 60 seconds. I know that there are tonnes of variables, so i'll try and remove a few:
- server hardware is typical of a cpanel/WHM shared hosting environment
- running apache/linux
- email is say 20kb HTML format
- mail is sent in a php script loop, one by one; alternatively, mail() could be called in clusters of x emails - like send 5 emails at once
- there are 400 recipients
how to know if mail() function is enabled or disabled on my server? how to enable/disable it?
can it be done via server control panel or is there a shell command for it?
one more thing, where to get/edit the SMTP data for my server?
I have a dedicated that suddenly stop php mail() function to work.
Very strange because if I run php script with mail() function as root on command line all working fine.
But If I run php script with mail() function in my browser so not work. Seems that only ROOT can run mail() function.
I recently started using lighttpd + with PHP using Fast-CGI on a server hosting 14 blogs powered by WordPress, the server works great and this change reduced server load in about 50% which is nice for us, considering some of our blogs have a very high visitor traffic.
Our only problem so far is that since we switched to lighttpd the PHP's mail() function is just not working. I have compiled and re-compiled PHP and Lighttpd without any effects. I have a test site still working with Apache and PHP scripts can send mail without problems.
I've searched forums and Google for some kind of answer but none whatsoever maybe someone can give me pointers on how to solve this. Thanks a lot!!

I just purchased a vps from rapidswitch, installed lamp, webmin, etc. All is working fine, with one exception. I can't send mail via mail() function.
I have set the MX so that my email addresses are handled by google for domains so i can send and receive mails without problems.
What i cant do, is for example to install a cms and make it send emails for the new registered users, etc.
I have installed postfix via yum, and i've tried to configure it.. but i kind of give up after a few hours of trying.
Someone could point me to the right direction on how to configure postfix for just this ? to be able to send mails via php.
I don't care if it's postfix, qmail, etc.
PHP Mail Function not work and i cant fix it :/
i dont know whats the problem, but php.ini is right.
i also test email-function here: [URL]
I'm trying to send email from a domain using code like this:
$email = "me@domain.com";
$from = "From: $email
";
mail($receiver, $subject, $message, $from);
But i see in the mail logs that from address is being overwritten using the default user for the domain. Is there anyway to configure plesk or postfix to respect those headers?
I'm experiencing some issue with the php function mail(). No mails can get out and no errors from php. Is there any menu where we can parameter this php function ? Do I need to check up some services ?

Outgoing mail control functions properly for domains, but it does not count or limit subdomains.
For example, if you have a subdomain like:
sub.domain.tld
And an email account on that subdomain, like:
info@sub.domain.tld
Then outgoing mail limits are not applied to that subscription/domain/mail account. You are able to send more emails than the limit.
Also, if you go to:
-> Tools and Settings
-> Outgoing mail control
And try to see statistics for that subscription/domain/mail account, it shows that there are not sent emails, even if you have sent emails. Of course I checked it many hours after sending, or even the next days.
We have a MS Window server 2003 with SP2, currently there is a website running, the webiste is desgined by using asp.net 2.0 c#.
We reinstalled the window server 2003 last week, and we found the email functions not working any more(users in the website can't receive email each other).
I have spent days and trying to figure out, but no luck, I have tried to reset the IIS settings, SMTP Virtual settings, and add/remove windows componets settings...
I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?
this is my server and i host only one site as upload image but it is too slow and usully apache down
how i can optimize this server please

My server is so slow I don’t know where the problem is
Server Load from 2 to 8 Monthly bandwidth 1300 GB Unique visitor 4000 - 5000 daily Page loads 13.000 – 20.000
This is current server features
Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz 1024MB RAM Bandwidth: 1500GB
I dont know much about what could be cuasing this so i come to you for advice, i am currently at wired tree on their VPS384 package with 348MB of ram and my site is really slow to load [url]sometimes it is so embaressing to show people i just dont bother, i am sure this is deferring visitors from my content how can i speed this up?
I can add more ram but it will push the price and if the price goes too high i might aswell move to a Hybrid with wiredtree.
problem with my server running CentOS 5.3.
I noticed that there are huge pings to my server from time to time, example:
------------------
64 bytes from HOSTNAME (server-IP): icmp_seq=0 ttl=60 time=2.93 ms
64 bytes from HOSTNAME (server-IP): icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=2.70 ms

64 bytes from HOSTNAME (server-IP): icmp_seq=12 ttl=60 time=2.74 ms
64 bytes from HOSTNAME (server-IP): icmp_seq=11 ttl=60 time=1205 ms
------------------
First I thought that it is network related, but most strange for me was that I did not have any packets lose.
Then I tried to ping from my server to other hosts - situation was the same - some ping were good and some were huge (700ms, 800ms, even 2000ms)
I checked:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max
and it was 65536
Then I checked:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_count
and it was ~1600 so normal.
dmesg was showing such errors:
conntrack_ftp: partial 227 3331059707+13
Then I checked ifconfig, here is the output:
------------------

------------------
Strange for me was:
RX packets [...] dropped:2421127049
TX packets [...] dropped:46
I did not have such dropped information on all my other servers. Dropped counter for RX was constatnly increasing.
So I decided to restart all services on the server. After restarting network and ipaliases - problem disappeared. RX dropped counter is still rising, but I do not have any slowdowns on the server and pings are normal.
My question is - does anyone could have any idea what can casue my problem and how can I prevent this in the future?
