OK gotcha on that.. I sent that info to the person who maintains her mail
server..
Reading your comments 3 times now.. can my Exim be configured to not send a
null to verify so this won;t happen?? I might think there are other mail
servers that also are refusing on the same basis??? But could this also
could be the way these 2 forms are handled on my server.. could these forms
be configured better to not be sending a null user?? Nothing has changed on
the forms - either her registration or the orders from her cgi based cart -
since the move.. here are the headers from one of her orders and a
registration on the new server (sorry I do not have access to one off the
VPS to compare)
