CDONTS no longer working?

Musicboffin · 16-03-2006, 06:39 PM

I've noticed since 27th February that I've receieved no emails from my website using CDONTS. Has this been disabled or somthing?

Hi,

What is the from address on the emails being sent out?

Regards,

Jacob

Sorry... the from address is the user of the form, but the to address is mail ( a t ) musicboffin ( d o t ) net

Hi,

That is the problem. The from address must be a domain that exists on our mail server - this is a new measure to prevent spam.

Regards,

Jacob

Surely, if the address is hardcoded to me, the only person who can get the email is me, and the to address is the same as the domain so it would not be possible to spam anyone apart from me. Looks like its time to change the form. Thanks for your help.
