Why won my form send e-mail to my e-mail account although it will send e-mail to a non-GreekHunter e-mail address?
If your account is new, please keep in mind that DNS entries have to propagate for e-mail to work. Mail is sent through a domain, and if the domain is not functional, e-mail on that domain will not be functional either. DNS entries can take 5 to 7 days to fully propagate throughout the Internet. Our e-mail server has strict spam filters that reject mail which appears to be coming from an invalid e-mail address. Spammers’ e-mail programs are set to use a default address from which the mail appears to be sent. The GreekHunter server will often reject these addresses. When your form is submitted, all the data in the fields is sent to the CGI script and then sent to the mail program. The CGI script uses certain fields in the header so that the message is formatted before it reaches the mail program. Those fields are named within the HTML code in the form and match certain aspects of the CGI script. The formmail.pl file that we offer has an accompanying sampleform.htm file designed to work
