XF 1.4 Email trouble with new registrations

[Laurentius]

Hi,

I am having some problems with a server error occurring every time someone register at the forum.

Error info:

Zend_Mail_Transport_Exception: Email to emailadress@gmail.com failed: Unable to send mail. mail(): Policy restriction in effect. The fifth parameter is disabled on this system - library/Zend/Mail/Transport/Sendmail.php:137

Stack Trace:

Does it have something to do with my host or xenforo?

This is mostly your host, but you can go into the mail options in XF and disable the -f parameter usage. Note that this will prevent bounce messages from being returned to you properly. (No way around that.)

Ok thanks for the answer. If I would contact the host, what is the issue with their servers making this option unavailable to me? What should I ask them?

Sorry for posting on an old post but I need help with this also. Like What @Laurentius said what should I ask them?

If you want to use the -f parameter and you are receiving the same error message, contact your host and ask them to enable it.
