php and cgi scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using phpsuexec and suexec respectively, sounds like your host probably appends the sendmail email to say it's coming from them, and so when it's coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] their MX records show that address doesn't exist. Check the raw headers of these emails to confirm or you can check your php code to see if it checks the MX records with this string: getmxrr.
Hi Mark,
I think your remark is right on the fire. I looked on the header of "Mail delivery failed" emails and found all are like:
Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received: from nobody by hulk.peoplehost.com with local (Exim 4.24)
id 1AX80Y-0005MT-0i
for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 18 Dec 2003 17:56:42 -0600
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Your Message Submission
from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...........I saw that "from nobody" right there, but don't quite understand how it happened and how to fix it on my end (I guess the error was caused from peoplehost's end). Your mention of using "phpsuexec" must be applied to them, right? And where can I "check your php code to see if it checks the MX records with this string: getmxrr"? I don't remember I have any "MX records" in my php code - for my web page. Could you help clarify these? Thanks
I am still awaiting peoplehost to fix the problem; they seemed taking action to install some patch. Don't know it'll fix temporarily or permanently. Will see.
