Well, I havent used it yet and cant say it perfectly addresses your issue, but in XOOPS admin there is a Mail Preferences section. (under System Admin|Preferences|Mail Setup)
As far as I know, I think its possible to put in YOUR SMTP account so then your XOOPS site will actually send mail as YOU.
Here is a copy paste of the options list:
FROM address
FROM name
FROM user
When the system sends a private message, which user should appear to have sent it?
Mail delivery method
Method used to deliver mail. Default is "mail", use others only if that makes trouble.
Path to sendmail
Path to the sendmail program (or substitute) on the webserver.
SMTP host(s)
List of SMTP servers to try to connect to.
SMTPAuth username
Username to connect to an SMTP host with SMTPAuth.
SMTPAuth password
Password to connect to an SMTP host with SMTPAuth.
SO setting the mail delivery method to SMTP and then listing YOUR smtp server and theoretically, you can solve the problem your having on your current host. (btw not all hosts have this problem)
I dont know alot about SMTPAuth, so i would try SMTP.
I did try this b4, didnt get it to work, but only spent like 5 minutes trying.
I think this could be explored more and tested by you to solve your issue.
You might even just be able to supply a from name using PHPmail() and avoid the nobody problem. it would need to be tested by you on your host, since my host allows any mail sent by phpmail().
Hopefully, someone here can enlighten us on these options and how,why they work.
Regards,
