Re: Mail/Confirmation Script delivery problems

Hi Richard, Thank you for continuing to research this problem. Just before the weekend, I talked to my IP about the problem I was having. He thought it was strange: suggested I look at my browser settings to see what was being passed. To make a long story short, he mentioned that with 'mailto:' I shouldn't be having these problems. I told him that I was using 'mail()' -- [add a deep, low, groan from my IP] Seems like 'mail()' has been banned for security reasons by my IP (glad I found out now before I go 'live'!). He supplied a workaround IP-made function called 'smtpmail()' to be used in its place. Glad I checked. Thanks again for your help!
