I read how the original poster solved their problem with Yahoo Small Business, and I understand the solution is to change the emailer.php file to reflect an email with own domain. However, I am at a loss how to do this. I know absolutely nothing about php, and when I do try something, I end up making a bigger mess than with what I started.

I'm not totally clear on what Tammy meant either. I think she is meaning to stick the $to_email variable somewhere else. But the person with the problem solved it somehow else. It *sounds* like she might have replaced $from_email by hard coding in the email address. But I don't see how that makes a difference.

Unfortunately I don't know all that much about sendmail. :

Well, I solved the problem by switching webhost providers. After contacting Yahoo, which in itself was an experience, they informed me they could not help me, so I switched back to phpwebhosting, and now everything is working perfectly.  Two days later, Yahoo sends me a feedback email asking me to rate my experience with them.

Needless to say, stay away from Yahoo webhosting.  Lesson learned!
