[cobalt-users] RAQ4 form-tomail scripts problem



My ISP installed a new spam filtering mail server and ever since then the 
output from the form-to-mail scripts on our RAQ4's has been filtered out. 
The scripts are still working when directed to a different ISP or a 
mailbox on the RAQ. We use several different scripts and the problem is 
the same for all.

ISP tech suport came up with this:
----------------------------------------------
Whatever is generating these is incorrectly adding an AUTH statement to
the "MAIL FROM:" command: MAIL FROM: <httpd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
AUTH=httpd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This is an incorrect format, and I am not
aware of any mail client or server software that would make such an
error. Whatever is generating these messages is not programmed
correctly.

This suggests that the problem lies not with the script but with the
hosting server that the script is running on. I suggest a good starting
point would be to verify your smtp settings on that server.
----------------------------------------------

For comparison - here's the headers from a message sent to a RAQ mailbox:

----------------------------------------------
Return-Path: <httpd>
Received: (from httpd@localhost)

------------------------------------------------------

Nothing has been changed on the RAQ during this period. 

Is their response sensible? If so, what can I change to resolve the issue?

Cheers,
