texte = Doug,I've faced this problem of bad from email address. I do it this way, [sendmail mailto:to=tome@myself.com&from=([email_from])response@page.com......]this will send the email even if the [email_from] variable does not have a valid email address, it considers the mailto:response@page.com as the from address. If you don't want to process the form with out a valid from address, you can do a check for that. In the email received by the site manager the from address will be shown within the brackets. In some cases I write the inofirmation to a data base. Hope this will answer your question. regardsanup----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Hardman
