Sorry I can't send to some1@gmail.com. Is some1@gmail.com on this server?

When you set up our formmail script, you might get an error message stating, "Sorry I can't send to name@domain.com. Is name@domain.com on this server?" Unfortunately, this is not clear on how to resolve the error.

The solution is for the owner to code the script to use a local email to receive all the posts. The error should say, "Please use an email address which is hosted on this server."

I would like to change the expressions FormMail uses to validate the recipient field. In Matt Wright's docs he explains how to do this, but I can't edit the .cgi file because I can't access my cgi-sys folder.
How do I access this folder/file, or is there a way I can get a copy of the FormMail.cgi to put it in cgi-bin so I can access it?

Thanks

I apologize, but you will not be able to change that script.

Even HostGator is unable to change the script. If we find a way to change the message, I will let you know.
