A slight issue that i have is a security function on the web server, in which contact forms and "system" sent messages, such as the forgot password, new member emails, etc will not work.

This is what the my technical support team has come back with:

"
Hello Michael ,

Thank you for contacting our Technical Support Department.
The reason for the problem is that the recipient is set to "[email protected]"

To be able to send a script generated mail through the server you have
to set either the recipient's e-mail address (the "To:" header) or the
sender's e-mail address (the "From:" header) to be an e-mail address
from your hosted domain on the server.

In Contact From cases, since the From would be the client address, the recipient must be set to a mailbox hosted in this account. Once you correct that the form should be operational.

Best Regards,
Pete
"

I know what i need to do... I need to make sure that my Jcow network is configured to have a SENT FROM as: [email protected] .. Which is the email that i have setup for the above task.

I have changed my Webmaster email to that, but still no luck.

Where else can i change the settings in regards to email.

Regards,
Michael Swan

Hi michael,
By default, Jcow use your site domain as the sender (noreply@YOUR_DOMAIN). If you want to customize it, open /includes/common.inc.php with a text editor, find the function "jcow_mail", and change it what you want.
But I have to remind you that whenever you upgrade Jcow, you should do the editing again.
