Strange emailaddress

Hi Hans,

I am not entirely shure, but if you look into the options, settings and the advanced settings, there you have a field calles "Server E-Mail".

I haven't used a mailing module yet so ... but to me it sounds at least like the option you are looking for.

cheers

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.

Today I had some e-mail/private message contact with pcwacht about the form module as I am having some problems with e-mail not ariving at some domains (e.g. tiscali.nl). After searching and digging the internet I found the following topic (and some more) as osCommerce Nederland:

There they mention that the tiscali provider checks e-mail if they have an existing MX Record. This check is been based upon the 'RFC821' protocol. When you use the custom field (like: name) for the 'email from' part of the form submission the result will be something like:


--- Quote ---From: filled_in_name@dime95.dizinc.com
Return-Path: filled_in_name@dime95.dizinc.com
--- End quote ---

As Tiscali and some other providers do a MX lookup for the part behind the @ and do a lookup on the blacklist the e-mail will not arrive. If you would like to fix this, you need to dive into the sourcecode of the 'view.php' file of the form module or maybe take a look at pcwacht his version of the form module....

Hans:
Thanks Woudloper,

I will search for pcwacht's formmodule and look if that might help.
Hans

pcwacht:
I'm sorry to say that it wouldn't

It uses the same mail routines as the core form module


I am helping Woudloper to get his mailtrouble fixed, then we will post it here

In the meantime, make sure you have a sender address set in your form module, without a sender the mail function will take your servers name wich might get bounced!!

It does, even when I set a sender address in the form module  :|
