I am going to provide members of my personal community with a webmail interface, and of course I've selected Lite version of AfterLogic WebMail (PHP). Aside from the fact it's free, I don't really need things like multiple identities or calendar, and the only API-related thing I require is present in Lite.

The biggest problem I have at my host is that I am not allowed to use SMTP, I have to stick to standard mail() function of PHP. It was surprisingly simple to modify WebMail Lite so that it uses that function instead of SMTP access. It's necessary to edit only one function found in common\class_smtp.php file:

Code:

function SendMail(&$settings, &$account, &$message, $from, $to)

I didn't even remove its original content, just inserted a block of code at its start:

Code:

             $msg = $message->TryToGetOriginalMailMessage();

              $eml_file = explode("\r\n",$msg);

              $carry = 'yes';

              $headers = array();

              $body = '';

              $ii = -1;

              // For every line, carry out this loop

              foreach($eml_file as $key => $value)

              {

                  if ((trim($value)=="")||($carry=='no'))

                  {

                      // Stop putting data into the $headers array

                      $carry = 'no';

                      $i++;

                      $body .= rtrim($value)."\r\n";

                  }

                  else

                  {   

                      // Separate each one with a colon

                      if(($eml_file_expl = explode(':', $value))&&($carry == 'yes'))

                      {

                          // The row has been split in half at least...

                            if(isset($eml_file_expl[1]))

                          {

                                // Put it into the preliminary headers

                                $headers[$eml_file_expl[0]] = $eml_file_expl[1];

                                // There might be more semicolons in it...

                                for($i=2;$i<=$count;$i++)

                                {

                                    // Add the other values to the header

                                    $headers[$eml_file_expl[0]] .= ':'.$eml_file_expl[$i];

                                }

                            }   

                      }       

                  }

              }

              $eml_values = array();

              $eml_values['to'] = $headers['To'];

              $eml_values['from'] = $headers['From'];

              $eml_values['subject'] = $headers['Subject'];

              $eml_values['reply-to'] = $headers['Reply-To'];

              $eml_values['content-type'] =  $message->Headers->GetHeaderValueByName('Content-Type' );

              $eml_values['content-transfer-encoding'] =  $message->Headers->GetHeaderValueByName('Content-Trans fer-Encoding');

              $eml_values['body'] = $body;

              $hdrs='From: '.$headers['From']."\r\n".'Content-Type: '.$eml_values['content-type'];

              if ($eml_values['content-transfer-encoding']!="")

                $hdrs.="\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: ".$eml_values['content-transfer-encoding'];

              return (mail($eml_values['to'], $eml_values['subject'], $eml_values['body'], $hdrs));

I have used this tip as a ground of the modification. It's not really optimized yet but it does what it's supposed to do.

I've also added few other modifications to WebMail. In particular, I need Direct Mode to be used with IMAP, and I'm not going to let users change that. So the Manage Folders screen is removed.

1. File js\screen.user-settings.js, line 457:

Code:

        if (mode == 4) {

              div.className = 'wm_settings_switcher_select_item';

              div.innerHTML = Lang.ManageFolders;

        } else {

              div.className = 'wm_settings_switcher_item';

Both classnames are replaced with wm_hide.

2. File js\screen.messages-list.js, line 831:

Code:

    this._manageFolders.className = 'wm_manage_folders';

3. Same file js\screen.messages-list.js, line 1750

Code:

    mf.className = 'wm_manage_folders';

Again, all the classnames are replaced with wm_hide.

Yet another thing removed is the nasty "D" next to folder name in Direct Mode. Commented out a few lines in js\class.screens-parts.js file (line 1354):

Code:

        if (this._syncType == SYNC_TYPE_DIRECT_MODE) {

              innerHtml += ' <span class="wm_folder_direct_mode" title="' + Lang.DirectAccessTitle + '"> ' + Lang.DirectAccess + ' </span>';

        }

I really hope it will help someone else like it helped me!

Cheers,
Corwin.

Well, I have rewritten the mail() related part completely, and it is much simpler now. Most headers are kept intact, just From and Subject header values retrieved (even multiline ones are fetched fine). Plus, Bcc header should be handled separately. Here's the brand new block of code for SendMail function:

Code:

$msg = $message->TryToGetOriginalMailMessage();

$eml_file = explode("\r\n",$msg);

$is_main = false;

$hdrs=''; $body = ''; $hdr_to=''; $hdr_subj=''; $head_key='';

foreach($eml_file as $key => $value)

{

  if ((!$is_main)&&(trim($value)==""))

    $is_main = true;

  if ($is_main)

    $body .= $value."\r\n";

  else

  {

    $head_val=$value;

    if (($epos=strpos($value,':'))!==false)

    {

      $head_key = substr($value,0,$epos);

      $head_val = substr($value,2+$epos);

    }

    if (($head_key)=='To') $hdr_to.=$head_val."\r\n";

    elseif (($head_key)=='Subject') $hdr_subj.=$head_val."\r\n";

    else $hdrs.=$value."\r\n";

  }

}

if ( ( $hdr_bcc=( $message->Headers->GetHeaderValueByName("BCC") ) ) != "" )

  $hdrs.="Bcc: $hdr_bcc\r\n";

return (mail($hdr_to, $hdr_subj, $body, $hdrs));

Cheers,
Corwin.

We have modified your code and have optimized it a bit, it is added into our Knowledge Base now if you don't mind. We're frequently asked of what can user do with SMTP access disabled, and this one should be helpful in such cases.
