It sounds like HE's real problem is their TOS. I've hosted with a lot of companies who will drop accounts where they find porn, spam and warez; it's part of their TOS. The other problem I can see is that they are apparently unwilling to even mediate a problem between two of their accounts. "We just host 'em. Other than that, we don't care." Typical. I expect the porn company paid them a *lot* more money than you did, so they simply looked the other way. A shame. The lesson, I suppose, is to look at the terms of service before you sign up with a hosting company. You may still end up being a victim, but at least you know what you're getting yourself into. If they don't specifically disavow porn, spam and warez, then they allow (and in effect, condone) it. Paul Paul: Good advice, but you assumed that I was one of their clients -- I wasn't. I was just an innocent bystander who found his email address being used as a return address for porn spam. It wasn't until after I started receiving hate email that I discovered who/what Hurricane Electric was. Imagine that suddenly out of the blue you started receiving hate mail from hundreds of AOL users telling you what a low-life you are because you sent porn to their children -- what would you do? I imagine you would: a) find out who was behind it; b) contact them and ask for an explanation; c) and try to restore your good name. One might think that suing them would be a good idea, but the last suit I was in cost me over $20k and I won! I didn't have that spare change laying around at the time to go after a company in another state. I just wanted an explanation, but Hurricane Electric wouldn't do anything. In my opinion, they are an example of what a hosting company should not be.

Those additions will hint you where the problem is. Just check your PHP error
log, provided that you have it enabled in the ini.

Nothing, not even an empty variable. Which is why I think something
is completely screwed up here.
BTW, squares at the end of lines are your platform not interpreting
EOL characters correctly from another platform. Generally, its the
sending client thats not being friendly, not the receiving client.
