formmail with Yahoo

[ds67]

Hi:

I've used formmail before with good_url, bad_url, etc. and the form works perfectly. I recently tried using it on a site hosted through Yahoo and it doesn't work. I keep getting error messages that says Tectite staff will be notified. I did the same thing I did on the forms that do work (on different hosting company). I set my variables (target url, def alert, hidden email using 'recipients' NOT 'recipient').

I also tried changing certain settings as suggested by this forum (from user, set sender from email, f option, and fixed sender) and none of this works.

Does anyone know why it seems forms do not work in Yahoo hosted sites and any remedy will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
DS

I've had to deal with Yahoo on a few occasions, and as a host they are terrible... but, I did get formmail working, and it is currently working. From what I remember, we had to set the sender to get it working.

I just checked it now and it is still working.

I have seen where hosts will have different configurations of various settings depending on what server you are on. I'd say you should try sending mail via basic scripting, and determine if sendmail works. If you can't get it working, call Yahoo and ask them to give you an example of a script that works, so that you can see what they require.
