some registration emails fail in 2.3.1 b/c of "callout verification"

Reported by: camner Assigned to: westi
Priority: normal Milestone: 2.3.3
Component: General Version: 2.3.1
Severity: normal Keywords: registration emails

Description

Registration emails sent to certain addresses where "callout verification" is enabled will fail. The following delivery failure notice will be generated:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

t231@recipient_domain.com

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<t231@recipient_domain.com>: host recipient_domain.com [xxx.22.96.xxx]: 550-Verification failed for <wordpress@blogdomain.com> 550-Previous (cached) callout verification failure 550 Sender verify failed

This was not an issue with WP 2.2, but occurs on an upgrade to 2.3.1, or a fresh 2.3.1 install with no plugins enabled and the default theme.

This is a problem for me, as well. I have a multi-author blog I'm also running that takes new contributors as they come, and neither of the last two that have signed up (both since I upgraded to 2.3.1) have received their verification emails and get email server connection errors when they try to request a new email with a password.

It appears that removing the following line from wp-includes/pluggable.php solves this problem along with the one I reported in #5294: 

228  $phpmailer->Sender = apply_filters( 'wp_mail_from', $from_email );

Could you try the attached plugin to see if this also fixes the issue for you.

This should ensure you don't have to change core files

westi, in #5007 it seems everyone is in agreement that the "fix" their should be reverted. Can you check this in for trunk and and then set the milestone to 2.3.3 (in the event such a release is necessary)

I came to this bug report from this one: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5294

My brother and I host a few blogs at the same host. He installed a new one and noticed that emails were not being sent form it. I had recently done an upgrade, but never bothered to check to see if the emails had worked. He stared at 2.3.1, and I upgraded to 2.3.2. My emails were previously working with an early 2.1.x release.

None of the workarounds in #5294 worked for me. The no_sender.php plugin DOES appear to fix the problem, however.

I think I have the line also deleted from my pluggable.php file removed as well, currently. My brother claims that his 'request password' emails still aren't working. Do you have to have both the line removed, and the plugin?

Does Wordpress need to change something for this to work correctly out of the box, or my hosting provider? I'm fairly technically adept, and good friends with the one of the owners/ admin. there... So can get whatever other info you may need.

That does not programmatically make sense. no_sender.php is equivalent to removing that line of code.

  • status changed from assigned to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

(In [6599]) Revert #5007 as it causes more trouble than it solves. Fixes #5273 for trunk.

  • status changed from closed to reopened.
  • resolution deleted.
  • milestone changed from 2.5 to 2.3.3.

Reopening for 2.3.3 if it happens.

I've confirmed this behavior. I removed the line, disabled the plugin, and still no notification emails.

Put the line back in, enabled the plugin, and I get emails. Removed the line, and left the plugin enabled, and I get emails.

Do I have some other problem, maybe?

My hosting provider seems to have found something in my case. See #5647

This 'defect' has appeared in my 2.3.3 install. Now I didn't experience it prior to 2.3.3 so it's unlikely the revert caused my problem so I don't think reopening the ticket is appropriate. Link to the support forums follows:
