Form won't submit to new email address - 9/25/2009 9:50:08   
I tried to change the email address to which a form gets submitted, but I get this message when I change it:

'The address you are trying to send to (newemailaddress@xyz.com,) is not authorized to receive mail via this gateway.
Please contact the webmaster of the page that referred you to this link and inform them they will no longer be able to use this function to send mail to newemailaddress@xyz.com,.
If you feel this error is incorrect and that you should be able to send mail via this gateway, please contact the ISP that referred you to the mailgate service.'

My form itself has this code in it:

<form method = "post" action ="http://mailgate.server-mail.com/cgi-bin/mailgate" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" id="FrontPage_Form1">

I presume that for some reason the new email address is not authorised to submit via this 'gateway', but I don't understand the meaning of that form code, or the meaning of the 'gateway' and how I can authorise the new email address.

The form itself has no problem submitting to 2 different email addresses at our own company, but doesn't work if I try to submit it to other email addresses that I've tried. I am positive that these new email addresses are valid email addresses.

Any help on this problem, very much appreciated!!

The script that processes your email appears to be a file named "mailgate" in your email server's (mailgate.server-mail.com) cgi-bin folder. The cgi-bin is a folder that allows .exe or executable programs like the mailgate program to run. Without knowing what the mailgate program code is, there isn't much of a way to help you. I suggest you contact your email server support folks. The "onsubmit" bit in the form code is a simple javascript field validation program. You may want to take that out of the process while you test. <form method = "post" action ="http://mailgate.server-mail.com/cgi-bin/mailgate" id="FrontPage_Form1">

Hi again TexasWD,

When you say to contact our email server support folks, if I'm correct, emails coming IN to us are looked after by the company that hosts our website, and emails going OUT are looked after by our ISP.

When a form is submitted its results are then emailed out, so would I be correct that the ISP would have the email server to which you refer (rather than the web hosting company)?

Regards, spinningjennie

Usually the hosting company sets up the email server. Your ISP connects you to the internet. So you are correct--you have you connect to the internet (ISP) to send an email. In the U.S. your ISP may ALSO offer email service (sbc.global, att.net, etc.) Your email is hosted here: http://mailgate.server-mail.com/ so those are the folks to start with in your search for an answer.

Many thanks again Texas WD for your advice which allowed me to focus my efforts on our hosting company. My company however has now decided to use a form processor offered by Xigler software. It is working well, so I'm afraid I never found out if the hosting company could resolve this issue or not.
