Not mailing in Windows Server

[Claor]

There is a bug in the class-phpmailer.php that make impossible to send mails from Windows IIS Servers.

This bug can be solved by changing same part of the code of that file.

=========Bugged part of code=========

/

• Formats an address correctly.
• @access private
• @return string */ function AddrFormat($addr) { if(empty($addr[1])) $formatted = $addr[0]; else { $formatted = $this->EncodeHeader($addr[1], ‘phrase’) . ” <” . $addr[0] . “>”; }

return $formatted;
}

=========Corrected=========

/

• Formats an address correctly.
• @access private
• @return string */ function AddrFormat($addr) {

$formatted = $addr[0];

return $formatted;
}

I attached a corrected file.

With corrected bug

This has been mentioned elsewhere, Causing a problem with another mail server software.

Specifically, in that case, Quotations were being added AROUND the output from a function like the above.. (so it was "wordpress <wordpress@wordpress.com>"). The way that function acts, is perfectly to spec. (Its how you see that a email is from "Joe Blogs" and not from "joe@…")

(Actually, this is surely a dupe of one of those)

You are right, this is a dupe... And so, this is a mail server problem and not a windows problem?

Its a combination between the MTA being used and the PHP code. The code you've proposed 'fixes' the problem, but only in a workaround way, by removing some functionality.

I dont have any method of testing anything myself though.. As mail simply doesnt work on my host at all(not a wordpress problem)

You are right again, my solution deletes sender's name bet that was the solution i found to get it working by now.
