Until the hosting ISPs decide their legacy customers are important enough to make that work again there is not much I can do. I can't rewrite the forum software to avoid mail(). I can't rewrite all of our legacy PHP software to avoid mail(). I can't even get my own scripts to work without using mailx
So eDOC, et. al., we are at an impasse. Either the PHP/forum developers will provide a fix at some point, given the new rules, or, if we can find another server where forum email works, we may make a move there.
