Hi all

I have installed Mahara 1.4 but I seem to be having issues with the headers already being sent.

Every time I try to send a message to another user I receive the following error:

'Invalid address: ERROR - something bad happened after headers have been sent. Check the error log for more information.' 

Here are the lines from my error log:

Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi Thomas,

If you take a look at the first file that is mentioned in the error message (W:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mahara\\lib\\phpmailer\\class.phpmailer.php on line 464):

  echo $this->Lang('invalid_address').': '.$address;

Then it looks like that user has an invalid email address and Mahara can't send the email.

Cheers,

Francois

Hi Francois,

Thanks for getting back to me. The thing is the message does send despite the error. Every user in our system is authenticated by ldap which reads in the e-mail address from Active Directory. Any ideas on why this would be invalid?

Thanks again

Thomas
