In both the 'From; ' and the 'Message-ID: ' the recipient domain instead

What happens if you construct the message 'by hand'. E.g. you create
the message with phpmailer but specify the "From" and "To" headers in
the body of the message?

What happens if you try this on another ISP? Sometimes, ISPs do weird
stuff to prevent SPAMMING.

I don't run PHPMailer. I just wondered of this is a known bug.

I listed three. Do you think they all do exactly the same weird thing?

quite possibly.

you are sending to a domain with an envelope from address that it
considers should not be originating on a remote machine.

Without seeing the source code, it's impossible to determine just what's
going on. However, I would expect something wrong (i.e. missing
information) in the PHP source is causing the MTA's to think they have
to insert the information.

If this were a problem in PHPMailer, it would have been reported long
ago. Too many people are using it (unless you're using a very old
version, anyway - but even then I doubt it would be PHPMailer).

The version mentioned as X-Mailer is PHPMailer 5.1. This is a rather
old version, so well, there may have been a bug (and maybe still is).

However, it does not seem reasonable to conclude that the mails where
sent with PHPMailer at all; inserting a faked X-Mailer header shouldn't
be a problem. One never knows what spammers are doing...

You may have a closer look at the "P Received" fields. I'm not
accustomed to the innards of SMTP, but the change of "envelope-from"
particularly regarding the timestamps looks rather strange to me.

Unlikely. As the message is UCE (which by contrast to spam *is* an
abbreviation), and its content is probably even fraud, it is more likely
that this is an intentional misuse of PHPMailer, or a misconfiguration of
the MTA used by it, in a clumsy attempt to prevent the spam message from
being recognized as coming from a suspicious host. The underlying
assumption would be that you do not filter out your own e-mails.

I'm no guru but I'm pretty sure there's something else at work there
besides a bug in the mailer function.

Michael had a valid question which you've ignored. Since you're not
using it I fail to understand why you're asking this. What good is the
answer for something you're not using?
With all due respect, I'd suggest you do more technical research on
the issue.

Which would be on the basis of source IP address, not content from or
mesg-id. So there is no point in faking these.

I'm not sending anything. The log entries are about mail from a remote
system being rejected. So someone else is trying to send. Not me.

The timestamps suggest the mail being send from a system west of me.
However, both the domains and IP addresses are registered in Poland,
Spain and Germany, which are all the same timezone as me.

There could be a rule with your MTA not to reject messages with your From
header field value or FQDN as used by your MTA as those could be deemed
trustworthy.

Yes, there is.

FQDN yes, header from no. The latter is easily faked. It's just
something you fill out in your email client config.

> Yes, there is.

How do you fake a FQDN. It's based on IP address (reverse lookup).

Rob, everything below this is lied together. You cannot trust it. Most
likely there is no "sput.nl", no "apache", no "exim", and no "PHPMailer 5.1"
involved.

It does not prove anything, don't bother for looking for bugs in phpmailer,
exim, apache or your setup. It is just another attempt to circumvent spam
filters.

I am aware of that.

The “Message-Id” header field value can, in practice, be anything, and can
be as easily faked as the “From” header field value. Sometimes it does not
even contain a FQDN, just some domain-part.

If you wish to further discuss the Internet Message Format, SMTP, and
UCE/UBE, I suggest you do that in the appropriate newsgroup. This newsgroup
is about PHP.
