I strongly recommend you to use Mandrill (http://mandrill.com) for your website.

Hi paulrrog,
I took a look at the mail logs for your account, and saw this:
Our mail server requires that all emails that are sent come from an email address that already exists on the system, meaning that the From header cannot be spoofed. Please could you try create a new email address named "contact-form" in your cPanel, and try again?
Thank you,

Free hosting users will not be able to use Mandrill, as that is an external SMTP service.

Mandrill can also be used as a web-callable API. It would need to be specifically excluded (from curl, etc.) if that's the intent, but it's strictly transactional (spammage opportunities are low to non-existent) and has some pretty stringent filtering itself.

OK, now I've got the form going to an address on X10hosting. However, I have my primary DNS service configured to use a 3rd party e-mail service with a non-local MX record. Should I change X10's MX record to match my 3rd-party service? If so will this allow e-mail to go out from my other provider?
Changing the MX record has worked for the contact form. Thanks for all your help folks.
