Strange emailaddress

(1/2) > >>

Hans:
Hello,
when I send a form from one of the WBmade sites I get an email from Kamperen@dime95.dizinc.com, while my host is Powweb.
Is this something to worry about?
Hans

Stefan:
Yes, I think you have a problem there...
Is it version 2.6.1?

Search your database (if you have a web frontend, use it, otherwise export and search the file) for an occurrence of this address.

Hans:
Hi Stefan

no it's still 2.5.2 (haven't had the courage to switch until now  :| It's a very complicated site) but there are no instances of any part of the emailaddress in the database, so I will ask my provider first (which isn't Powweb by the way, nor dizinc). I hope that it has nothing to do with WB now the database appears to be "clean".

Thanks so far
Hans

Stefan:
Have you applied the login security patch?

Check your config file. Maybe that's where the strange e-mail address resides.

Hans:
Have you applied the login security patch?

No I haven't but I will surely search for it and apply it.
dime95.dizinc.com appears to be the mailserver of my provider (having a totally other name), so this is solved at some point.

I wonder however if it is possible to have this the site's own websiteaddress.
I ask this because the dizinc.com domain apparently is misused for spamming (see http://www.waisman.wisc.edu/COMPUTING/topspamdomains.html ) and therefor filtered by some providers.
If the part after the @ could be different than dizinc this issue could be resolved.

Thanks Stefan for your quick reply (as always)  :-D
