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.
Can't you use an mail-from in setting.php like this : ini_set("sendmail_from","webmaster@domain.com");
I tried this and still did not receive any email (did use a valid email domain).
My hosting service has suggested recompiling Apache with phpSuexec, which he says would solve the email problem but also changes the allowable level of file permissions, which sounds like it could affect Drupal's ability to write to sub-directories like /files.
Has anyone else done this? What problems have you encountered?
Thanks, Andrew
