It will only work with the one email address the support person put on the

| ok, i tried some things... For the page that didnt work, i changed the
email
| address back to the original one that the support person used to test it
| which was a hostbreak.com address, and it worked! BUT, i changed it to
| another hostbreak.com email address and i got the error again, as well as
any
| yahoo, msn, aol, etc... address. For some reason, it seems like it will
only
| work with that one email address that the support person put on the page.
| Does that help answer anything?
