Hi Dan, no this is not just from FrontPage.  Any web page form sent from the
server comes from "nobody".  I opened /etc/mail/virtusertable and it lists
for every website I am hosting the following:

sys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx           sys
root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx          root
postamaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx   postmaster
nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx        nobody

So anytime a webpage form is submitted and sent via email it comes from
"nobody"  I would like to find where i can edit the script/program that
makes the virtusertable so "nobody" becomes "web_user" or something similar.
This is not a FrontPage issue.  It does the same with non-FrontPage forms.
Or maybe there is something I can add to the form, a hidden value maybe that
will overide this?  I know on my last server, an NT server the emailed forms
came from IUSR_NTxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and those were easy to identify by
customers as returned forms.
