TYPO3 Core

assigning to Erik, our t3lib_htmlmail maintainer.

See the attached file for a replacement of t3lib_htmlmail->sendTheMail
Works for me (TYPO3 3.6.1 & Postfix), would be nice to have this integrated in the next release!

The bug is now fiex in the 3.6.0 branch (for the upcoming relase of 3.6.3) and also in the head for the 3.7.0 release.

Thanks to Ihmig for an idea for the soultion, and sorry for the long wait.

There is two different solutions, one for windows which utilize the php.ini parameter sendmail_from (which is now set by ini_set). This solution works even if running in safe_mode.

for the linux/unix solution I used the idea from Ihmig, passing f$this>returnPath as a parameter to the MTA. This however is not allowed in safe_mode, som a check has been introduced to prevent error when running in safe_mode. The bug is still unsolved for systems running in safe mode. Ideas anyone? The fix should work for most MTA. At least sendmail, postfix and qmail.

This patch doesn't work with Postfix prior to version 2.1.

The PHP mail() function seems to be buggy and causes problems with a fifth parameter "additional_parameters" set to "". Postfix reports
postfix/sendmail¹²³⁴⁵: fatal: cannot handle command-line recipients with -t

Sending a test mail from the install tool did work, also setting the returnPath hard coded in t3lib_htmlmail (there's yet no possbility to set the returnPath for a form mail!). The fixes made for this consecutive bug in revision 1.11 (2005-01-21) seem to cause much overhead.

I suggest to simply test if the returnPath is set like:
if(!ini_get('safe_mode') && $returnPath) {
instead of:
if(!ini_get('safe_mode') && !$this->postfix_version1) {

This works fine with Postfix version 1.1.12 on Linux.

Has been solved in CVS for 3.7.1 and all later versions by Jan-Erik.

Will be solved in TYPO3 3.7.1.
