I am hosting a website at my home on 10.3 client with a static IP that I got from my ISP. It has a 'submit' button on a form. I want it to send directly to my webmail address. The submit goes through to the 'thank you' page and it appears to be sent. But when I go to my webmail it is not there. I contacted my ISP and they told me that port 25 is blocked but I can use their SMTP server as long as I use authentification which I have set up in postfix enabler.
My HTML seems fine, and so does my FormMail? What could the problem be? Am I setting up postfix enabler wrong? Do I even need postfix enabler? Could my Mac Mail be set up wrong?
Someone please help, this has been killing me for a week!
Thank you!

It seems like it is trying to find user INFO on my local maichine instead of going out to the web to find that email address.
I see that you have "-i" and "-t" after the sendmail command. Are those necessary and by removing them does your problem go away? The "-t" sends a directive to "Extract recipients from message headers." This in particular seems like it could be related.
Second guess, even more beyond my realm of knowledge, do you have a local DNS server that may be "misdirecting" mail requests back to your local web server instead of to your real mail server? Have you tested the form using a recipient e-mail which is not on "example.com" to see if it can resolve that correctly?
If neither of these works, then we've exhausted my knowledge and the question probably ought to be posted to the folks at: [webmasterworld.com...]

Wish I had a solid answer for you! :(
