At this point i found what the problem was, but now I have encountered
another one. In this new case, seems to me that the problem is due to my
exim being configured as smarthost; I have to figure out how to
rewrite the headers of the message so that when the form sends the
variables to the script, it is accepted by the smtp server. In this
case, it is answering that
"host smtp-server.cfl.rr.com [65.32.5.130]: 553 5.1.8 <www-data@hpd>...
+Domain of sender address www-data@hpd does not exist"
I think that I read in the info exim files that if the form initiates
from a virtual host then exim rewrites automatically, not sure, the
info files are long, and I am falling sleep here. If anybody knows how
to fix it and can save me hours of browsing the documentation will be
great.
