I have configured FormMail with $POSTMASTER='valid.name@sub.domain.com' but when I receive emails it has generated, the from/replyto are 'nobody@wrongsub.domain.com'. I'm using SendMail, perhaps there is some config on that end overriding what I pass? Any idea as to why my postmaster address is not 'working?'

Thanks!

Oh silly, the only thing you suck at is sucking at things. Much like Jesus, omnipotent to the point of being able to microwave a burrito so hot that he himself couldn't eat it. Everybody's got a kryptonite, and yours is being bad at stuff.

Yeah, mail systems are teh stupid. So I guess I'll have to modify FormMail.pl since that's where the call to SendMail is made. Bah humbug, and thanks.

As is usually the case, the resolution of this issue involved me ceasing some small piece of my massive nubd0m. $POSTMASTER was getting all sorts of jiggy, as I found out when I attempted to send an undeliverable email. I simply misunderstood it's function - the verbage in the manual led me to believe that it would display as the FROM and/or REPLYTO address(es) but all it actually does is provide an address to send undeliverable notifications to, nothing more. I didn't have to modify the call to SENDMAIL at all, the answer was as simple as an input on the HTML form named EMAIL.

Thanks!
