Using built-in form emailing functionality, we've changed hosting plans and testing this feature it no longer functions. Our host vendor has indicated the new plan/server requires smtp authenticated and PHP mailer or Pear mail and their systems do not support mail through localhost since that was a security vulnerability. Any way to resolve this and use built-in forms/email option again?

Hello Dave,
unfortunately the built-in form uses the php mail() function to send emails. Most Hosting supports it since it's not a security vulnerability but every provider sets their own rules.
The only option would be to change the script code manually according to the settings of the hosting provider. You can send the imemail.inc.php file which is in the RES folder of the project to the hosting provider to ask them how to change the script to make it work according to their settings.
Please feel free to write back if you need more information.
