mail() and reply-to:

[boog]

My host has just changed some servers around and it has changed the way that my reply-to: and return-path: fields are working in a script.

previously the return-path and reply-to fields were sent with the details i entered in the script.

now the email is sent with a long winded address that includes the servers address.

what do i or my host need t do to get this fixed?

thansk in advance...

Sounds like a possible switch of MTA at your host.

Seems unlikely that you'll be able to convince them to go back🙁

Time for debug?:eek:

actually I have a very good relationship with them so i think they'll listen if i tell them what i'm doing.

can you tell me what MTA is and i'll ask them if they can do the necessary.

thanks in advance,

boog.

MTA is "mail transfer agent", the universal standard at one time was Sendmail (on 'Nix), but many others are now as or even perhaps more popular.

If your site is being hosted on Windoze, I have no idea which MTA they might be using. Exchange Server is one.

My ISP uses SMTPD on Win2K, which was for a long time a notorious spam magnet, and some spam catchers will still reject mail off of it, particularly if it has lots of punctuation in the subject line, for example.

I'm not at all SURE that this is the problem, but it very easily could be. I'd ask cautiously whether or not they changed their server's mail programs on/about the date you first noticed the activity.

Ok Thanks for that - they have changed it - i'm almost certain,

i think they went to horde it's running apache on a linus box so shouldn't be too much of an issue -

as i said there a small host and i get along really well with them - so i just need to get them to understand what i'd doin.

thanks again fort the input.
