How can I go about setting up an SMTP server to send email as *@mydomain.com?
How can I then use this SMTP server with a PHP script that grabs data posted from my website's contact form and send it to me as an email?
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and webmin, but I can do the changes locally on the server.
here is my PHP script..
#!/var/www/php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
$email_to = "havok@havoksecurity.com";
$email_subject = "havok security contact form";
function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo "We are very sorry, but there was an error found with the form you submitted. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}
// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['name']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['phone']) ||
!isset($_POST['message'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$first_name = $_POST['name']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
$telephone = $_POST['phone']; // not required
$comments = $_POST['message']; // required
$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$name)) {
$error_message .= 'The Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($message) < 2) {
$error_message .= 'The Message you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Phone: ".clean_string($phone)."\n";
$email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($message)."\n";
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>
