    My pgv 4.2.2 runs at http://subdom.mydomain/dir.

    I wanted to test the 'Contact Admin' facility which appears to work submitting any email address including anything@subdom.mydomain but prompts me to enter a valid email address if I try using anything@mydomain (less the subdom). I don't have problems otherwise sending/receiving anything@mydomain.

    Any suggestions what might be causing this?

    Thanks.

    Please provide some details about the platform (Windows, Unix, Linux, etc.) that your server is running on.

    The message can be generated in only three places, all within "message.php".

    Look for the string "invalid_email".

    It looks as if your server hasn't been configured to return valid DNS information for the "mydomain" query.  In particular, it's not telling the world that "mydomain" is a mail server.

    The PHP function involved in the creation of the message is checkdnsrr .

    You can find information on what checkdnsrr does by doing a Google search.
