    Great, thanks for looking into this for me and fixing it (to everyone in the thread).

    Tony,

    Glad you are up and running again. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
    I am going to keep this thread open temporarily until a permanent solution is in place or until a dev feels the need to close it.

    Hey Tony,

    I dug a bit further on this, and it looks like this is a server restriction that will be difficult for us to work around in the short term. Essentially your host is disallowing PHP scripts from setting the envelope sender address when sending via mail().

    Normally in this case I’d say to just switch to sendmail, but it appears that isn’t working either, probably due to another server restriction. I’d ask your host about removing one restriction or the other.

    If they can’t do either, well, I might look at moving to another host in the long term. Short term, though, you’ve got the fix I mentioned above so you should be OK either way. Leaving this thread open for you as well. Thanks!

    Hi Brandon, thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately I think the web hosts are here to stay, so we’ll have to keep that bit of code that you added. Thanks again.
