Massive email problem and hoster change

Since about 10 days I discovered email problems with the webserver. I did not really thought about it due to the christmas holidays, but with the start of MamboShop.com suddenly many customers complained about not getting their products send. I therefore talked with my webhoster 1&1 yesterday and today. They checked it and could not find any problems, although in fact all of my websites (which use Mambo, vBulletin, X-Cart, phpMyFAQ, ...) are unable to send out emails through the php mail() function. 1&1 says, it must have something to do with the script settings and declines any connection with the update to php 4.3.10 two weeks ago.

As it seems that 1&1 is not interested to solve the problem I have no other chance as to change the hoster this month. I hereby apologize for the troubles you might had with my websites and also apologize for the problems which will come due to the sudden hoster change. I will try to find a new hoster this week and start the move of the first domains next week. Let me clearly state that I from now on can not recommend 1&1 or any other companies of United-Internet.com anymore!
