E-mail issue: -auth_sender [email protected]

[brihan]

Hi, I have been blacklisted by yahoo and while trying to get this sorted out I have noticed that the headers of the e-mails sent by VB use:
[email protected]

In the ACP I do have my Webmaster's Email set properly to the e-mail I want and that is used as the reply to e-mail (that's OK) but in the header I get
[email protected]

Here is an example of mail that has bounced back:

nobody 99 99
<[email protected]>
1216702989 0
-ident nobody
-received_protocol local
-body_linecount 54
-auth_id nobody
-auth_sender [email protected]
-allow_unqualified_recipient
-allow_unqualified_sender

Is "nobody" wrong? Should I be able to change this to a real e-mail address? If so, how?

I suspect that "nobody" is a trigger to get blacklisted. Is that true?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Follow up -

I looked in the ACP under Maintenance -> view PHP info and found

apache

APACHE_INCLUDE no value

APACHE_TARGET no value

Is this normal? If the User/Group should be changed how do I do it?

Thank You!!

This is a server issues. You will need to contact your host about this.

Hi Kerry-Anne,

Thank you for your reply.

That is what I thought and that was the first place I turned and of course they said it was VB.

If anyone can give me a clue as to how to correct this on an apache server please let me know.

Thanks again!

Brian
