reply to - gdform asp

[jalbani]

I am using gdform as a form mailer and would like to click 'reply to' on incoming emails from the form mailer and have the email address of the respondent in the address part of the email as opposed to the formmailer@... be the reply to address.

Is there coding that accomplishes this? If yes, what is it?

Thanks!

I am having the same issue and it is new. the godaddy asp must have changed. I have not changed anything since joining gd several years ago. Looking back at all my old emails from my website from has always been the email address my customers entered in the email field not the formmailer...I am not a coder nor do I build websites. I use sitespinner and changed nothing. I went to godaddy for help and nothing. Following the link you provided says:

NOTE: If a visitor submits a form on your site using a gmail.com, aol.com, hotmail.com, msn.com, or yahoo.co.in email address, the From email address of the form will be replaced with "formmailer@secureserver.net." This means the recipient of the email will see formmailer@secureserver.net rather than the original From email address.

As mentioned it wasn't like this before. If I can, I will show you old emails from the very same asp form showing actual email addresses. Please help. I don't know how to fix this. Thanks in advance :)

There really isn't a good fix. The problem is that those sites aren't valid "from" addresses when the mail is sent by SecureServer.net, so the emails would be rejected.

I strongly recommend that, instead, you simply collect the user's email address as part of the body of the email and *always* use your OWN address as the FROM address.

I don't use gdform.asp (after looking at its limitations a couple of years ago figured I would write my own better one), but I *think* it's as simple as changing to:

<input type="hidden" name="from" value="YOURADDRESS@yoursite.com" />
...
<input type="text" name="userEmailAddress" />

Thanks for responding.. :) Not sure what valid "from" you are speaking of, but I never had any issues responding to emails sent from the form on my website. At least that I know of.. haha.. I am wanting the email "from" to be the email my clients enter into the "email address" field so I can have an auto response if need be.

After proving to Godaddy the way it used to be, they just emailed me and said it may have been the way it was scripted before but has since changed. Uh, yeeah, I realize that and thanks for the warning.. lol

Anywho, since I am not a coder or web designer (I use a "what you see is what you get" site builder) I don't know how to go about making my own. I don't even remember how I got the gdform.asp to work in the first place. :eek:

Show me your page, live. I'll see if I can duplicate the idea on my own GoDaddy account. But I think you really are running into a SecureServer.net limitation, if I recall correctly.
