sugest page cgi not working

Date: 2002/03/06 12:18

Q:
I was using the sugest.cgi from bignosebird.com (I called sugiera.cgi)in
my site for a couple of years without any problem, now Interland.com
purchased the host where I was, and it doesn't work anymore, it doesn't
send the email, it look as if it was sending it, but it doesn't, then I
received an error email sended to me telling me that the email can not be
send because the sender does not have a domain, (myusername@localhost )
before on the place of localhost was my domain wich is CHELOCO.COM , I
being dealing with the customerNOsupport for interland.com for 2 months
and they don't do anything.
Any idea on what could be the problem?.
thanks

I have installed diag.cgi to look at the path
A:
They have changed the setup of the mail server. To debug what is happening
actually is quite difficult. Most probably they configured the mail server
more strict. You can use sendmail or SMTP directly (sendmail also uses
SMTP by itself). You should check if the SMTP hots is changed. If it is
'localhost' then try to change to the name of the machine or the other way
around. It may also happen that yopu specify a From: field which i snot in
the realm of the SMTP server and thus it does not allow it being relayed.
For example I can not send a mail contaiing an sender eMail address not
ending @verhas.com using my SMTP server.
