    help question Mail failure

    I have recently moved to a new hosting company, and I have noticed since the move the main email featured on our "contact us" page receives an error message when someone tries to contact us. I called into support a few times and they can't seem to find the issue and I'm hoping someone here can help. I am providing the error message below:
    Code:
    From: Mail Delivery System <[email protected]>
    Date: June 21, 2011 5:12:58 PM EDT
    To: [email protected]
    Subject: Mail failure - malformed recipient address A message that you sent contained one or more recipient addresses that were incorrectly constructed:
    
     "[email protected]" <>: missing or malformed local part
    
    This address has been ignored. There were no other addresses in your message, and so no attempt at delivery was possible.

    This might be the issue???

    Sending to and from are the same

    Code:
    Return-Path: [email protected]
    To: "[email protected]" <>
    From: Customer <[email protected]>
    Use another address as the customer NOT the one that it is being sent to

    Hey Kobra,

    I could see how that might present a problem but I have not configured any email settings in zen cart that I can remember. I am experiencing the issue when someone fills out the "contact us" form located at https://boatersplanet.com/index.php?...age=contact_us . I then tried with my email address which I can disclose in it's entirety below:
    Code:
    From: Mail Delivery System <[email protected]>
    Date: June 27, 2011 5:31:36 PM EDT
    To: [email protected]
    Subject: Mail failure - malformed recipient address
    A message that you sent contained one or more recipient addresses that were
    incorrectly constructed:
    
     "[email protected]" <>: missing or malformed local part
    
    This address has been ignored. There were no other addresses in your
    message, and so no attempt at delivery was possible.

    Hmm... I seem to be having the same issue.. As I said before I never had a problem until we switched o the new hosting company. I am posting a snapshot of the email config in ZC admin. and I'll repost the error message.
