Hello All,
I emailed earlier regarding a problem with Non-standard remote sendmail ports. It turns out that my problem was due to improper server_name detection in program/include/rcube_smtp.inc line 76. I don't know if your CVS file is different than mine. The line is: $helo_host = !empty($_SERVER['server_name']) ? $_SERVER['server_name'] : 'localhost';
My sendmail server disallows localhost for the EHLO command which is
what it would have defaulted to. I guess my provider thought it was a
good security measure, I'm no expert so I can't argue either way.
Anyway, I fixed this by adding:
// use this name instead of the local servername for EHLO command
$rcmail_config['smtp_server_name'] = 'loeppky.ca';
to the main.inc.php file and by replacing line 76 with: $helo_host = !empty($_SERVER['server_name']) ? $_SERVER['server_name'] : $CONFIG['smtp_server_name'];
This of course means that rcmail_config['smtp_server_name'] needs to be defaulted to 'localhost' for normal/default conditions.
I'm sure there is probably a better name than 'smtp_server_name' but I figured you would know better what to name it than I. I'm not even sure if this is the right way to fix the problem, but I figured I would pass it on to you and let you decide what you want to do to handle this in your production code.
Kind Regards, George
I posted this bug a week or so ago.
localhost (for whatever reason) is hardcoded in and should use "EHLO the_computers_hostname_you_are_running_the_webmail_on" EHLO (or HELO) introduces itself's name to the remote SMTP Server.
not EHLO thesmtpserveryourtalkingto or EHLO losthost (unless you are talking to the localhost)
Thanks Craig

Sorry, missed it. Does that mean there is a patch already for it in the CVS ??
