getmxrr

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

getmxrr获取互联网主机名对应的 MX 记录

说明

getmxrr ( string $hostname , array &$mxhosts , array &$weight = ? ) : bool

搜索 hostname对应的 MX DNS 记录。

参数

hostname

互联网主机名。

mxhosts

找到的 MX 记录列表存放于 mxhosts 数组。

weight

提供了 weight 数组后,它会用找到的权重信息填充数组。

返回值

找到记录返回 true,没找到或者出错时返回 false

更新日志

版本 说明
5.3.0 Windows 平台上也能用这个函数了。

注释

Note:

本函数不应使用于地址验证。 仅在 MX 记录在 DNS 中找到时才会返回,然而根据 » RFC 2821, 没有 MX 记录时, hostname 本身就是 MX 主机,优先级为 0

Note:

在兼容 Windows 实现之前的版本, 可以使用 » PEAR class 的 » Net_DNS

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 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 ...

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

    if (
strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) != 'WIN') return;
    if (!
is_array ($mxhosts) ) $mxhosts = array();
    if (empty(
$hostname)) return;
   
$exec='nslookup -type=MX '.escapeshellarg($hostname);
    @
exec($exec, $output);
    if (empty(
$output)) return;
   
$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]);
         
$mxhosts[$i] = trim($parts[2]);
        }
        if (
preg_match('/responsible mail addr = (.+)$/i', $line, $parts)) {
         
$mxweight[$i] = $i;
         
$mxhosts[$i] = trim($parts[1]);
        }
    }
    return (

If greylisting is installed on the mx host then he send a "451 4.7.1 Please try again later"

My code fragment:

<?php
//...
foreach ($mx_records as $mx_host) {
   
$code = CheckMX($mx_host, $eMail);
    if (
$code == 0)    continue; // host not found
   
if ($code == 451)    $code = CheckMX($mx_host, $eMail); // Greylisting
   
if ($code == 250)    {
       
$ok = true;
        break;
    }
}
//...

function CheckMX($mx_host, $eMail)
{
   
$code = 0;
   
$fp = @fsockopen($mx_host, 25, $errno, $errstr, 2);
    if (
$fp)    {
       
send_command($fp, 'HELO microsoft.com');
       
send_command($fp, 'MAIL FROM:<support@microsoft.com>');
       
$erg = send_command($fp, 'RCPT TO:<'.$eMail.'>');
       
fclose($fp);
       
$code = intval(substr($erg, 0, 3));
    }
    return
$code;
}
//...
?>

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.

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 ;)

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 ].
off at NOSPAM dot abwesend dot de 11-Feb-2006 07:18
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.

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.

Be aware that not just user@example.com ist a valid address, also user@subnet.example.com is valid (but maybe less common). Just got into trouble with this check...

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(
"Online host verification Test...<br><br>");
    print(
"MX Records for: $email<br>");
   
    list(
$alias, $domain) = split("@", $email);

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.

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);
?>

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 );
?>

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;
}
?>
