3.3.8 board mail accepted by hotmail, rejected by gmail

Post by ezlynx »

Recently updated to:
  • Version 3.3.8
  • MySQL 8.0.31
  • PHP Version 8.0.25.

Moved to a new vps in order to upgrade the operating system.
  • from Centos 7
  • to Almalinux 8
The phpbb had successfully been sending mail previously (I believe) via nobody and I haven't changed the phpbb's mail settings. WHM claims via "Email Deliverability" that I have things properly configured to send mail.

On this new vps, I'm getting mixed results sending mail using phpbb.

Hotmail works. Gmail fails.

Apparently, the gmail failure is:

"Messages with multiple addresses in From: header are not accepted"

Sample error message:

Code: Select all

TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=yes: SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 550-5.7.1 [216.xx.x.xx] Messages with multiple addresses in From: header are not\n550 5.7.1 accepted. u10-20020ad45aaa000000b004a95cdf750bsi9023660qvg.355 - gsmtp
Perhaps hotmail is not so picky? Don't know.

It would seem the mailing function would be what is adding the additional headers. Do I need to edit the mailing template? All mailing files are defaults. Any suggestions?

Ha! And I thought I could get by without updating for a while (this was an update from 3.2 to 3.3.8)! Just as well. I'll go sort it out.

Thanks.

There are also some PHP 8.0 and 8.1 related fixes in phpBB 3.3.9 so it is probably worth the update.
