Order Form sent from nobody@node-4

[Tania]

When my client receives an Order Form the email states its
sent from nobody@node-4 or nobody@node-5 or nobody@node-6

Anyone got any ideas why?

That's is because the email is from the server and that is a server email address.

To get the senders real address, you need to add a field to the form for people to enter their email
address. Then in form properties set the "Reply to" address to the field for the email address.

Then even though the email will still be from the "server" when your client receives an email and
clicks reply, the senders address will display as the To: address.

You can't make the email address from the form show as the From: email address when the form is
sent. However, open Form properties and set the "Reply to: address as the form field for the email
address.

Hello again Steve,

Sorry to be a pest!

Ive check the Form Properties and the email address is
correct: (e-mail address removed).

I've looked at the html of the Form - this is what it says
below:

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" startspan
u-file="../_private/form_results.txt" s-
format="TEXT/CSV"
s-label-fields="TRUE" b-reverse-
chronology="FALSE"
s-email-format="TEXT/PRE"
s-email-address="sales@blueline-
trailers.co.uk"
b-email-label-fields="TRUE" b-email-subject-
from-field="FALSE"
s-email-subject="Enquiry" s-builtin-fields --

<strong>[FrontPage Save Results Component]</strong><!--

webbot
bot="SaveResults" endspan -->

What is the Webbot-self?

Regards,

Tania

Don't edit the webbot code unless you understand it in detail

Switch to Normal/Design View
Right click the form and select
Form Properties , then Options
On the Email Results Tab select the Form Field name option
and enter the name of the Email address field from your form (in your case: Email) in the Reply-to line

That will modify your webbot code to add:

B-Email-ReplyTo-From-Field="TRUE" S-Email-ReplyTo="Email"

This begs the questions: How do you verify that the Email address
entered is a valid one and how does one put this in the form?
Larry

Don't edit the webbot code unless you understand it in detail

Switch to Normal/Design View
Right click the form and select
Form Properties , then Options
On the Email Results Tab select the Form Field name option
and enter the name of the Email address field from your form (in your case: Email) in the Reply-to line

That will modify your webbot code to add:

B-Email-ReplyTo-From-Field="TRUE" S-Email-ReplyTo="Email"

You can't verify if a emails addresses that is entered is valid. Now depending on what the goal of
asking the user to complete the form is, say to get info, then you can consider a process where the
user completing the form get an email with the info needed to access to the info, so if the user
submit a bad email address, they will not get the email.

If you own the server your site is hosted on, then there are application that can be installed that
will test the email address with the mail server of the email address the user has entered.
