Forms e-mailed from Website (Frontpage)

[MattStan]

Hi guys

I have set up a form on my website and in the settings have asked for the results to be e-mailed using the From Properties box, "Send To" field and "e-mail" address.

The form works fine and sends the e-mail to the requested address, however, when the e-mail arrives, it shows that it has been sent from something like:
domainxxxxx@fhlinuxxxx.fasthosts.co.uk rather than from something like webmaster@domain.co.uk

I have had a look at the html code to see if I can alter this in any way, but it simply has the Frontpage Webbot details which I cannot change.

Does anyone know how to get this sorted?

Cheers

Since you didnt supply a link to your sample page I'll take a stab at it in the dark...

This gennerally happens when you have an email form box and it's set to something like "textbox" vs. email like the example below.

<input type="text" name="email" />

Sorry Pete

The link would be:

http://www.yourtravelcompany.co.uk/propertysales/index.htm

The form is on the left...

Since it's calling an exe file, I can't tell what the code inside this file is doing. However you do have this:

<input type="text" name="emailaddress" id="emailaddress" size="25" />

Make sure the script which processes this code is matching up to emailaddress. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I detest Front Page and write my own mail scripts.

Hi:
you can delete the we bot thingy. Try this forum- frontpagetalk.com and search under ademitutu. You will find info on how to delete web bot in fp.
I tried it and it worked.

Good luck...

ps: if I come across it again, I will post it for you.

in that line that has name="emailaddress" id="emailaddress" just make it email in both of those and see if it works.
