Contact form emails not arriving

[dbltoe]

If your host is hijacking the contact form to prevent spamming, there's no need. Zen Cart 1.3.9 will prevent someone from throttling the contact form. Renegotiate their policy with them.

If they are doing it for any other reason -- leave. It really concerns me when a host says you've got to use a file. If they are trying to use a band-aid here, what else could be sloppily run?

I can understand why a host would want to lock down a server this way. Hosts spend a LOT of money securing their servers. And many people use old mail scripts with many vulnerabilities, and they are just sitting ducks for hackers. I don't blame this host at all.

As it turns out, the problem was that my client was also using mailman in a cpanel mailing list script. As a result, the email addy he used in mailman prevented the addy from being used in other scripts. So I just deleted the mailing script (which the client is no longer using) and all mail works fine now. :)
