User From Address

[mdegan]

Hi all,

I'm having problems setting the from address in the email that the user (person that filled in the form) gets.

This is what they currently get.

Date: 1 Mar 2005 22:16:51 -0000
From: root@sid6030.sslaccess.com <-- I would like this to be Arlberg Hotham
To: USER@DOMAIN.com.au
Subject: Arlberg Hotham Contact
X-Trash-Finder: Message trashed, bare CR or LF found in message

Contact Details ------------------------------
Name: Michael Egan
Email: USER@DOMAIN.com.au

This is the code

<form method="post" action="http://www.arlberghotham.com.au/php/formmail.php" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" language="JavaScript" name="FrontPage_Form1">

<input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT,AUTH_TYPE,REMOTE_USER">

<input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="recipient@arlberghotham.com.au" />
<input type="hidden" name="bcc" value="myaddress@aucomp.com.au,myotheraddress@aucomp.com.au" />

<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Contact Request" />
<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="FromAddr=Arlberg@hotham.com.au" />

<input type="hidden" name="required" value="" />

<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.arlberghotham.com.au/thankyoucontact.htm" />

<input type="hidden" name="bad_url" value="http://www.arlberghotham.com.au/bad.htm" />

<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="PlainTemplate=contact_user.txt,TemplateMissing=N/A" />

<input type="hidden" name="autorespond" value="PlainTemplate=contact_user.txt,
Subject=Arlberg Hotham Contact,TemplateMissing=" />

<input type="hidden" name="derive_fields" value="email = Email, realname = Name" />


I did also have this instead of the FromAddr
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="Arlberg Hotham Booking" />

But it still was not working???

Help I'm Stuck

Hi,

You have "mail_options" twice - the latter one overwrites the former:

<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="FromAddr=Arlberg@hotham.com.au" />
<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="PlainTemplate=contact_user.txt,TemplateMissing=N/A" />

Try this instead:

<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="FromAddr=Arlberg@hotham.com.au,
PlainTemplate=contact_user.txt,TemplateMissing=N/A" />

Thanks for your very fast reply

<input type="hidden" name="autorespond" value="PlainTemplate=contact_user.txt,
Subject=Arlberg Hotham Contact,TemplateMissing=" />

How do i set the from address in the above code so that the email that the person gets (autorespond) has the from address set to ArlbergHotham.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

The sender for auto responding is set to the $FROM_USER configuration in FormMail.

So, just set that the way you want.
