It's a seasonal thing with me. I show up and ask a ton of questions and go
away for six months. THIS time, I am trying to include a "contact us" form
AND a "Contest Form" on another web site.

There seems to be very detail in Help or online on the specifics.

I set it up and it works....sort of. In testing it the CONTACT US form on
the first web site, I do get the response back AT the e-mail address entered
BUT, it appears to be FROM a totally unrelated e-mail address. It is one of
my e-mail addresses from another domain. Thats weird.

On the second web, www.travelmedianet.com where I have a Contest Form, the
e-mail comes from (E-Mail Removed)
I have searched everywhere. Where do I change this? ...or does my server
change it?
I assume it has something to do with CGI scripting....of which I know
little.

Alex

You host controls the from address for all email generated via the FP extensions.

Correct, and it will apply to all emails sent from forms via the FP Form Handler. If you have
multiple domains on one hosting account, then it will in most cases apply to the primary domain (the
first one setup under the account).

If you are trying to capture the email address of the
person who submits the form, then add a form field for
them to enter their email address.
