I responded to my my original post, but don't think anyone
reads back that far, so I am reposting a new one.

Using a Front Page form, I wasn't getting form results
delivered to my email account hosted with my host. But
when I changed the recipient in Front Page do a different
email address (like yahoo.com or hotmail.com), it WOULD
get delievered. My host told me that I can't use Front
Page for my form because: the form mail in frontpage
doesn't include the "From:" variable and it's being
rejected by our their Mailhub server.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I can't use formmail.pl
because I don't know cgi. Should my host accomadate my
Front Page form?

No,
The From address will always be a server address associated with
your web site.

Thanks for the reply. That helps because I wasn't aware
that I could create a Reply-To address.

But I was hoping there was a way to specify a From Address
or a From Name when I get the email. What's happening is,
I am getting the form results emailed to me. But there is
a subject and no email address... like the email is coming
from no one. (I launch Outlook, I see the email, I see the
subject, but From is empty.) I'm not real worried about
replying to the person who filled out the form. I just
want the form to come from somewhere...and not be blank.
(Spam filters usually remove emails with no From name or
address.)

Thanks again.

The From address IS configurable within the FrontPage
server extensions.

As to whether your host should configure this, I would
say, "Yes," but the hosting company can do what it wants.

You, of course, are free to take your business wherever
you want.
