[support] Hosting services shuts off mail from user nobody

I am managing several Drupal sites, and the hosting service has shut  
off email from 'nobody' as a security risk.

This breaks registration, password resets, notify, contact, and any  
other feature that sends email.

There are a variety of confusing and possibly conflicting  
recommendations on the Drupal site about this problem.  Most involve  
multi-step patches to each site, which becomes very difficult if you  
are managing multiple sites.

Is the an "approved" way to deal with this problem?

Thanks,
Andrew
