Thom,
I think what you're after is effectively the same as a 'Contact Us'
form where the user supplies an email address which is used as the
from field in the email being sent to your private email
address. But have run across the same problem I did where your mail
client (webmail) thinks the email is spam because it came from your
server rather than the one that actually is meant to send it mail
for that address.
Right! I guess you picked up on it because you experienced the same problem.
I'm assuming that you wanted the same thing I did, to be able to use
'Reply' in the client and have the new message sent to the correct
email address. Depending on what you are using to send the actual
email - you could try setting a reply-to in the header (exactly like
this list uses) with the user supplied email address and use a
proper address (one that won't trip the openwebmail filter) as the
from address. That should allow you to use Reply and have the email
sent to the right location.
Gawd....I hate changing other people's code.....but I'll work on
it. I've modd'ed the script once....and that was to allow the
page that the viewer fills out to tell the script where they were
when they called the email form...that way, instead of some thankyou
page....the are returned back to the page that they were one
originally. By doing that, you can add 1 line of code to the pages
and be done with it. The message that gets sent out tells me exactly
what page they were one when they sent the email.
I went that route so that I didn't mails like:
I read your page and it's wrong
Thom
