I assume it is a built in feature that prevents spam, but the feedback
page cannot be accessed directly, you need to reach it from a link on
your site. It checks the referrer header.
I disabled that check in my code by changing SendFeedbackaction.java

This occurs on two of our servers, one running 3.1, the other 1.8.
I know feedback used to work on our 3.1 server, as I've received
feedback mail in the past. But I can't figure out what's gone wrong.
From other people's posts on this topic, I thought the following
settings in dspace.cfg might be relevant:
mail.server.port = 25
mail.allowed.referrers = localhost
I've tried changing the referrers setting to the IP address of the
machine.
A fresh install of 3.2 shows the same problem, so it must be my
configuration that's wrong, but where should I look?
