Is it possible to make the Send Mail object dynamic? At the moment a form is filled in on the website including the visitors e-mail address but when the messages is sent to us if you try to reply to the message, your just replying to your self and not the visitors mail address. ObjSendMail.From = "tech@mydomain.com" Thanks. |

It can be set dynamically:- strUserEmail = Request.Form("Email") ObjSendMail.From = strUserEmail However, when you read the visitors email address from the form you should check that it is a valid email address format and that you remove < and > as well as ; so that a spammer can not trick the component in to relaying spam from your website. You should also add CAPTCHA to prevent remote form submission to prevent bots submitting 1,000's of emails per minute. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
