I'm getting X-warnings from my isp when sending mails from a form with mail(). I also got the same warnings from the email sent by this very forum when I registered!
example:
----------

I am assuming it has something to do with the following line in the headers:
--------
Received: from nobody by server1.totalchoicehosting.com with local (Exim 4.24)
id 1BMCV6-0006Me-KT
for myemail_at_dnai.com; Fri, 07 May 2004 17:03:20 -0400

Where the mail is being sent from an un-authenticated "nobody" without a resolved ip address.
Any idea how to fix this?
I also tried phpmailer, using SMTP, it fixed the "nobody" problem, but I still get warnings as in:
(note that @'s have been replaced for this example. Also, slothsound.com is my domain at TCH)
