A email can be sent through the following script, sure, the mail address has been replaced by an existing one: <?php // The message $message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";

// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap() $message = wordwrap($message, 70);

// Send mail('caffinated@example.com', 'My Subject', $message); ?>

I wonder is the problem related to the UTF-8 email address?

If the 5.5.4 error is comming for your email server, it may be that you are trying to send it an email that it does not have a registered user for. If you are goign to use your mail server as a relay agent, you may need to enable relaying from your wiki server.

...

I am running a mediawiki 1.7.1 on a PC of my company, and the email

server

...

is another pc on the intranet. I setted the mailserver address in

php.ini,

...

and enabled the mail function in mediawiki. Once I test the mail

function

...

in mediawiki I got the message like this:

"Error sending mail: mail() [function.mailhttp://192.168.21.25/ewiki/function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address"

However, the following script in a soly php file has been tested working well.

<?php // The message $message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"; // In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap() $message = wordwrap($message, 70); // Send mail('caffinated@example.com', 'My Subject', $message); ?>

I wonder is it a bug of mediawiki? BTW, I am running mediawiki on windows xp sp2 professional chinese edition, apache 2.0.58, php 5.1.4 and mysql 5.0.22 . _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Well, can I conclude that the problem is that the Mediawiki submit a UTF-8 mail address. I refered the database of my mediawiki, and the mail address is stored in UTF-8.

Mail addresses shouldn't be utf-8. As SMTP protocol is 7-bit ascii (unless the server has 8bitmime extension, which i think only applies for the content), a utf-8 email with non us-ascii chars (those which fall outside the 7-bit) could be rejected by the server, and probably should, as it has no mean of knowing if the next server is going to accept this protocol violation, and as the smtp specification says the user part of email shouldn't be touched, i wouldn't accept it.

Windows SMTP servers violate RFC2822, huh?

What a surprise.
