Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Uli, that worked. Thanks. So I now have ZCR working again but without ‘X-Originating-IP’ in the headers. I’ll chase that up with the host.

[stab in the dark] Maybe the originating IP is on your hosting provider’s blacklist? And removing it fools them!
Either way, I might look into changing ZCR at some point to make it possible to change the headers via a mini plugin. At least you won’t need to hack the code then. Being able to alter the headers easily could be useful in some circumstances, though I don’t know whether that raises any security concerns.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
The hosting company says it doesn’t use blacklists. Their latest response is: “If this is the only change that was made, [removing X-Originating-IP] this means that the email in question was rejected as it was using false headers, the originating IP header which was added is a false one according to the system as the IP of the mail server isn’t the same as the originating IP (the user’s IP).”
And also:
“It is most likely some other reconfiguration that is causing this matter.
I assume that in attempting to set some custom headers for the message, some confusion arises in the headers and this is causing errors or forged headers notification.”

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
The hosting company needs a clue :)
X-originating-IP is typically used when submitting mail via a website to indicate what the IPnr of the visitor was. The ipnr of the website is already visible in the Received headers, so there’s no need to add it in the X-originating-IP header.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Just in case nobody checked the particular thread, there is not so much of a bug but a typo in the help files of the plugin spotted by Uli here and posted by me a few posts earlier.

Thanks for the report. It’s already fixed in the next version.
EDIT: I do have a little more work to do on the help there yet though (some of the examples and links need altering, and some consistency to fix) so if you spot anything that needs changing in that file, please drop me a line.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Hi all!
I have Txp 4.5.4 and zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20 working just fine.
However I recently copied the whole TXP installation to another directory (along with the database) to make a separate version of the website and in this new directory the forms don’t work – I always get a “nice try” error. Tried re-istalling plugins with no luck. And it drives me mad!
Could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Ruud, dim user here, trying to get a little smarter: How did you get the idea to change the URL length value that was copied over from a working installation?

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Very often I’m not doing any different, myself. But here I’d have thought “Can’t be the prefs, copied values, was working with these before. Result: reason will be something from the new environment (read: server), at most new/forgotten htaccess”.
