PHP 4.0.5
Platform: Win32 only.
mail() -> SMTP bug.

Sending a mail on Win32 platform with php.ini having set smtp_server correctly works fine.
However, when setting an additional header like:
"Reply-To: foo@isp.com\r\n"
or
"Errors-To: foo@isp.com\r\n"
or even
"Foo-To: foo@isp.com\r\n"
will result in an e-mail not containing any To: field.

I looked at win32/sendmail.c and saw these lines
[...]
if(!xheaders || !strstr(xheaders, "To:")){
p += sprintf(p, "To: %s\r\n', mailTo);
[...]
I believe it incorrectly recognize any "xxxxx-To:" Field and then messes the mail headers.

This bug doesn't occur on Unix platforms using sendmail, postfix, etc.
The SMTP server used here works fine if I use my own SMTP class. However, I believe this is a bug so it can be fixed by someone more knowledgable than me.

I believe this behaviour isn't true anymore for To: , can you verify this with latest stable win32 release?

Now works fine using PHP 4.2.1 on Win2k.

This was fixed indeed with win32/sendmail.c v.1.23:
