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
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.
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
Have you applied the login security patch?
Check your config file. Maybe that's where the strange e-mail address resides.
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

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
Klaus

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:
link: http://forums.oscommerce.nl/index.php?s=24f628aa4d0f1336fdee5dacf9e72dc7&showtopic=6101&view=findpost&p=34972
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
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....
Thanks Woudloper,
I will search for pcwacht's formmodule and look if that might help.
Hans
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 :|
