We regularly send out massive mail blasts to our customers. Recently
several mail blasts failed to transmit. After a serious amount of
research we found the snippet of code below to be the place where it was
breaking down. The issue it seems is that the Environment Variables HOST
and SERVER_NAME are sometimes not returning true when executed from the
Linux AT scheduler. (using atq commands). doing a php -i from the
command line returns the correct values, as does putting in a php info
command at the top of the script and opening it from a browser.
Does anyone have any clues about why a script called from the AT
scheduler would be unable to detect what server it is on and behave
appropriately?
function send_mail($subject, $subject_name, $from, $email,
$customer_name, $html_message, $text_message, $customer_id=0) {
if($_SERVER['HOST'] == 'domain.com' ||
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']=='customer.domain.com') {
global $mail;
if(!is_object($mail)) {
$mail = create_mail();
}
} else {
// If on staging server don't send emails to any address
outside company
if(!stristr($email, '@domain.com')) return true;
$mail = Mail::factory('mail');
Thanks,
Joel
