Why does mail from my script show a different email address?

Our servers have re-write enabled. This is a valuable tool in the fight against fraudulant email and spam.

If you attempt to send an email out and use a domain which is not registered to us or listed as a remote domain, your email address that the message is sent from will be re-written in the format of "username@server.host.name".

So, if my username is "customer" and I am on the server "lh1.njh.ca", then the email address will be re-written as "customer@lh1.njh.ca".

To ensure you do not have issue, you could setup an email account on your hosting account for your script, which will allow you to control what email is displayed.

If you have a special requirement, please contact support@cloud.webpal.net and we will review your request.
