The general opinion when it comes to
sending email messages in PHP is to stay clear of PHP's built-in
mail()
function and to use a library
instead.
What I want to know are the actual
reasons and flaws in using mail()
over a library or extension.
For example, the commonly specified headers that aren't included in a standard
mail()
call.

Disadvantages of the PHP mail()
function
In some cases, mails send
via
PHP mail()
did not receive the
recipients although it was send by WB
without any error message. The
most
common reasons for that issue are
listed
below.
- wrong format of
mail header or content
(e.g. differences in line break
between
Windows/Unix)
- sendmail not
installed or
configured on your server
(php.ini)
- the mail provider of the
recipeint does not allow mails send
by
PHP mail()
; common spam
protection
Errors in
the format of header or
content can cause that mails are
treated
as SPAM. In the best case,
such mails are transfered to the spam
folder of your recipient inbox or send
back to the sender. In the
worst case,
such mails are deleted without any
comment. If
sendmail is not installed
or not configured, no mails can be
send
at all.
It is common practice by free
mail
provider such as GMX, to reject mails
send via the PHP
function mail()
. Very
often such mails are deleted
without
any information of the
recipient.
