Email & Registration problems

I am running Geeklog on a Host server who insists on requiring inclusion of their servers email address for mail scripts to work - extract from their faq's

" Formmail script is not working - it does not deliver the email. What's the problem?
You can be having trouble sending e-mail using Formmail script, because of the following reasons:

1. You have entered an e-mail address which is not hosted on our servers. We require the one of either the 'FROM:' e-mail address or the 'TO:' e-mail address to be hosted on our servers. Only if one of them is hosted on our servers, you will be able to send e-mail successfully. "


Hence this problem effects all email elements including new registrations.

Is there a work around this??? can I host the relevant scripts on another server?? if so which scripts/ pages do I need to transfer. (I am quite new to php)

Thank you for any assistance Banging your head
