getmxrr

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

getmxrr指定したインターネットホスト名に対応する MX レコードを取得する

説明

getmxrr(string $hostname, array &$hosts, array &$weights = null): bool

hostname に対応する MX レコードを DNS から探します。

パラメータ

hostname

インターネットホスト名。

hosts

見つかった MX レコードのリストが、配列 hosts に格納されます。

weights

配列 weights を指定すると、 そこに重み情報が格納されます。

戻り値

何かレコードが見つかった場合に true、 何も見つからないかエラーが発生した場合に false を返します。

注意

注意:

この関数をメールアドレスの確認の目的で使用すべきではありません。 DNS が検出したメールエクスチェンジャーを返すだけです。 しかし、» RFC 2821 によれば、 メールエクスチェンジャーがひとつも見つからなければ、 hostname 自体が唯一のメールエクスチェンジャー であるとみなされ、その優先度は 0(最高)となります。

注意:

この関数が実装される前の Windows での互換性を保つには、 » PEAR» Net_DNS クラスを試してみてください。

I tried using getmxrr() to validate the domain portion of email addresses in enquiry submission forms, and there is a curious effect with some top-level domains when checking non-existant domains.

With sdlkfjsdl.com, since the domain does not exist, getmxrr() returns false, as expected, and the returned mxhosts array is empty.

But with sdlkfjsdl.gov, getmxrr() returns true, and the returned mxhosts array contains one element: NULL

With sdlkfjsdl.org, getmxrr() returns true, and the returned mxhosts array contains one element: '0.0.0.0'

With sdlkfjsdl.co.uk, getmxrr() returns true and supplies one MX record: uk-net-wildcard-null-mx.centralnic.net

So to validate the email domain, it would seem one has to check the returned mxhosts array to exclude the possibility of mxhosts being returned as NULL, 0.0.0.0 and wildcard ...

As stated, some of the code listed below will have trouble with multiple equal weights, such as if you query gmail.com. The following code will prevent that by switching the key/values.

<?php

// Get the records
getmxrr("gmail.com", $mx_records, $mx_weight);

// Put the records together in a array we can sort
for($i=0;$i<count($mx_records);$i++){
$mxs[$mx_records[$i]] = $mx_weight[$i];
}

// Sort them
asort ($mxs);

// Since the keys actually hold the data we want, just put those in an array, called records
$records = array_keys($mxs);

// Simply echoes all the stuff in the records array
for($i = 0; $i < count($records); $i++){
echo
$records[$i];
echo
'<br>';
}

?>

If you wanted to get the weight, you would use "array_values($mxs);" instead of "array_keys($mxs);".

Hope this helps some people.

An other way to do mx-lookup on a windows platform.
Rewrote this from an other class i wrote for DNS lookup - so it might be a bit messy - but hope you get the idea.

Big thanks to the rfc community.

<?php

For some reason this and the other DNS lookup functions seem to be really slow on my Linux box. I've checked several things and have no explanation.

As a work-around, I gave in and just used a system call to dig:

<?php
CheckMX
("fakedomain.org");
CheckMX("hotmail.com");

function
CheckMX($domain) {
exec("dig +short MX " . escapeshellarg($domain),$ips);
if(
$ips[0] == "") {
print
"MX record found for $domain not found!\n";
return
FALSE;
}
print
"MX Record for $domain found\n";
return
TRUE;
}
?>

Output:

MX record found for fakedomain.org not found!
MX Record for hotmail.com found

As someone else pointed out, it is prudent to check to see if the TLD has an IP address if the MX record is not found.

I decided to have a bash at this after doing a bit of research...

@
exec($exec, $output);
if (empty(

$i=-1;
foreach (
$output as $line) {
$i++;
if (
preg_match("/^$hostname\tMX preference = ([0-9]+), mail exchanger = (.+)$/i", $line, $parts)) {
$mxweight[$i] = trim($parts[1]);

}
if (
preg_match('/responsible mail addr = (.+)$/i', $line, $parts)) {
$mxweight[$i] = $i;
$mxhosts[$i] = trim($parts[1]);
}
}
return (
$i!=-1);

// Define
if (!function_exists('getmxrr')) {
function
getmxrr($hostname, &$mxhosts, &$mxweight=false) {
return
win_getmxrr($hostname, $mxhosts, $mxweight);
}
}

/* example */

$domain='php.net';
echo

getmxrr($domain,$mxhosts,$mxweight);
print_r($mxhosts);
print_r($mxweight);

One small polyfill for the getmxrr function(even when it's missing from linux system)

function getmxrr($hostname, &$mxhosts, array &$mxweight=null)
{
$mxhosts = array();
exec('nslookup -type=mx '.$hostname, $result_arr);
foreach($result_arr as $line)
{
if (preg_match("/.*mail exchanger = (.*)/", $line, $matches))
{
$s_xo=explode(' ', $matches[1]);
$mxhosts[] = $s_xo[1];
$mxweight[] = $s_xo[0];
}
}
return( count($mxhosts) > 0 );

I was pretty disappointed that the Win32 build of PHP doesn't incorporate getmxrr so, since I'm a naive newbie, I decided to hack together my own (and I stress hack). This has been tested on Win 2000 and Win XP. There's no reason this shouldn't work on Win NT but it will not work on Win 9x (you need the nslookup command). It will finish with the array $mx that will be a multidimensional array with the MX preference, host name and ip address. You can do a print_r ( $mx ) to see what it looks like.

-----------------------------------------------

<?php
$command
= "nslookup -type=mx yahoo.com";
exec ( $command, $result );

$i = 0;
while ( list (
$key, $value ) = each ( $result ) ) {
if (
strstr ( $value, "mail exchanger" ) ) { $nslookup[$i] = $value; $i++; }
}

while ( list (
$key, $value ) = each ( $nslookup ) ) {
$temp = explode ( " ", $value );
$mx[$key][0] = $temp[3];
$mx[$key][1] = $temp[7];
$mx[$key][2] = gethostbyname ( $temp[7] );
}

array_multisort ( $mx );
?>

Leonardt's code fails with multiple mx records with the same wight. You can easily change this by switching keys and values in the mxs array:

for($i=0;$i<count($mx_records);$i++){
$mxs[$mx_records[$i]] = $mx_weight[$i];
}

arsort ($mxs );
reset ($mxs);

while (list ($mx_host, $mx_weight) = each ($mxs) ) {

This function has some strange side effects when dealing with aliases...

My function:

if (getmxrr($fqdn, $mx_records, $mx_weight)) {
// copy mx records and weight into array $mxs
// ignore multiple mx's at the same weight
for ($i = 0; $i < count($mx_records); $i++) {
$mxs[$mx_weight[$i]] = $mx_records[$i];
}
// sort array mxs to get servers with highest priority
ksort ($mxs, SORT_NUMERIC);
reset ($mxs);
} else {
// No MX so use A
$mxs[0]= $fqdn;
}

fails because a $fqdn containing an alias returns a true yet on return both $mx_records and $mx_weight contain nothing!

The solution until this gets fixed is to replace if (getmxrr($fqdn, $mx_records, $mx_weight)) with

// Handle aliases etc.
if ($result = getmxrr($fqdn, $mx_records, $mx_weight)) {
if(!isset($mx_records) || (count($mx_records) == 0)) $result = false;
}
// Process MXs
if ($result) {

Hope this helps others.... Tom

If you want to use getmxrr on windows, be careful as choward AT fast DOT net DOT NO SPAM PLZ's function has a security flaw.

It passes its argument to an external command without escaping it. If you don't validate the input, someone may manage to run nasty things on your system.

Here's a fixed version (just added escapeshellarg())

<?php
function getmxrr($hostname, &$mxhosts)
{
$mxhosts = array();
exec('%SYSTEMDIRECTORY%\\nslookup.exe -q=mx '.escapeshellarg($hostname), $result_arr);
foreach(
$result_arr as $line)
{
if (
preg_match("/.*mail exchanger = (.*)/", $line, $matches))
$mxhosts[] = $matches[1];
}
return(
count($mxhosts) > 0 );
}
//--End of workaround

//test..
getmxrr('yahoo.com', $mxhosts);
print_r($mxhosts);
?>

This way you'll avoid a lot of nasty things ;)

Concerning the message by 'rolf at rowi dot net' (do a check on a address containing a subdomain) we could use:

$email = 'abc@etpc01.trier.fh-rpl.de';

$strDot = '.';
$strAfterAt = substr(strstr($email, '@'), 1);
$chunks = explode($strDot, $strAfterAt);
$cntChunks = count($chunks) - 1;

$strDomain = $chunks[($cntChunks-1)] . $strDot . $chunks[$cntChunks];

if (!getmxrr( $strDomain, $mxhosts )) {
echo 'Mailserver not found';
}

// $strDomain is set to 'fh-rpl.de';

Windows alternative for getmxrr without the need for PEAR.

<?php
define
('DEFAULT_GATEWAY', 'nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn');
if (!
function_exists('getmxrr'))
{
/*
This function is a replacement for the missing Windows function getmxrr.

The parameters are the same as those for the normal getmxrr function.

The steps this function takes are :

1 - Use NSLOOKUP.EXE to get the MX records for the supplied Host.
2 - Use regular expressions to extract the mail servers and the preference.
3 - Sort the results by preference.
4 - Set the return arrays.
5 - Return true or false.
*/
function getmxrr($s_HostName, array &$a_MXHosts = NULL, array &$a_Weights = NULL)
{
// Simulate all the required network activity by executing windows' NSLOOKUP.
$s_NSLookup = shell_exec("nslookup -q=mx {$s_HostName} 2>nul");
preg_match_all("'^.*MX preference = (\d{1,10}), mail exchanger = (.*)$'simU", $s_NSLookup, $a_MXMatches);

// If there is something to return ...
if (count($a_MXMatches[2]) > 0)
{
// Produce output arrays if they have been requested.
$i_ArgCount = func_num_args();
if (
$i_ArgCount > 1)
{
array_multisort($a_MXMatches[1], $a_MXMatches[2]);
switch (
$i_ArgCount)
{
case
3 :
$a_Weights = $a_MXMatches[1];
case
2 :
$a_MXHosts = $a_MXMatches[2];
}
}
return
True;
}
else
{
return
False;
}
}
}
?>

You will need to know your default gateway (either it's IP address or its name).

To do this, run the program IPCONFIG /ALL at a cmd prompt and look for the Default Gateway.

Then replace the 'nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn' with the address.

Here is a better workaround for Windows platform. Tested on Windows XP. Highly impressed by "geoffbrisbine A T y a h o o DOT c o m"'s idea of nslookup usage.

<?php
function getmxrr($hostname, &$mxhosts)
{
$mxhosts = array();
exec('nslookup -type=mx '.$hostname, $result_arr);
foreach(
$result_arr as $line)
{
if (
preg_match("/.*mail exchanger = (.*)/", $line, $matches))
$mxhosts[] = $matches[1];
}
return(
count($mxhosts) > 0 );
}
//--End of workaround

//test..
echo getmxrr('yahoo.com', $mxhosts);
print_r($mxhosts);

Prevent your dns server from 'creating' a valid host name by appending the local domain to incomplete emails by appending to the domain a trailing . both in the pattern match and mx checks:

<?php
if (eregi("^[0-9a-z_]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z][-.0-9a-z]*\\.[a-z]{2,3}[.]?$", $string, $check)) {
$host = substr(strstr($check[0], '@'), 1).".";
if (
getmxrr($host, $validate_email_temp) )
return
TRUE;
// THIS WILL CATCH DNSs THAT ARE NOT MX.
if(checkdnsrr($host,"ANY"))
return
TRUE;
}

This code replicates online tools that let you check if an email address is valid. First it checks if the email format is correct, then looks up and prints the mx records. All nicely formatted with fancy words that in the end prints whether the email address valid or invalid.

<?php
$email
= "email@domain.com";

print(
"Checking: $email<br>");

if (
eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)+$", $email)) {

print(
"Format Test: PASSED<br>");
print(
"Online host verification Test...<br><br>");
print(
"MX Records for: $email<br>");

list(
$alias, $domain) = split("@", $email);

if (
checkdnsrr($domain, "MX")) {

getmxrr($domain, $mxhosts);

foreach(
$mxhosts as $mxKey => $mxValue){
print(
"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$mxValue<br>");
}

print(
"Online host verification Test: PASSED<br><br>");
print(
"Email Status: VALID");

} else {

print(
"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No records found.<br>");
print(
"Online host verification Test: FAILED<br><br>");
print(
"Email Status: INVALID");

}

} else {

This script validates an e-mail adress using getmxrr and fsockopen

1. it validates the syntax of the address.
2. get MX records by hostname
3. connect mail server and verify mailbox(using smtp command RCTP TO:<email>)

When the function "validate_email([email])" fails connecting the mail server with the highest priority in the MX record it will continue with the second mail server and so on..

The function "validate_email([email])" returns 0 when it failes one the 3 steps above, it will return 1 otherwise

I should point out that the below example won't work with some domains (.co.uk, .org.uk, .net.uk for example) because it assumes (possibly incorrectly) that the format is [ DOMAIN ].[ EXT ].
