Hi,
I am using a modified version of birdcast.cgi found at bignosebird.com - the modification that I made is instead of using it as a recommendation script, I use it as a formmail script wherein a visitor to our site can fill in the form and the information is forwarded to another person.
This works great except for AOL user accounts. The problem is that it seems AOL emails received should come from a specific email address (it seems that when this script sends emails it sends them as coming from sitename@localhost but it needs to be something like webmaster@sitename.com). I was told by my webhost that I need to make sure the script sends the email as it is coming from webmaster@sitename.com instead of localhost.
So, the question is - if it is possible to make the script do this or is this a setting that is related to sendmail or SMTP but not the script as my host says it is. I currently use sendmail (but I will test soon with SMTP if it is still a problem with AOL).
If it is something in the script, then what changes do I need to make?
Thanks,
Mike
