Re: [cobalt-users] RE: RE:How can I rename my Raq 4i from "nobody"? Help from anyone other than Dan?

Jon,
You are being moronic here. The from field can be changed in a script that parses your form. That's why Dan suggested fommail.cgi. At least look at the script so you can get a clue how that is done. There is a small perl library called mail-lib.pl that has a simple syntax for email handling. If you wish, I can send you that. You can use it in any perl script, works like a charm.

Of course the form has an email field Dan.  This is a question about Cobalt
Raq's and how to Identify the script/program that writes the virtusertable
which sends out all the forms from "nobody".  Thanks anyways for trying Dan.

I will ask the question again for anyone else who may understand about the
virtusertable and what script or program writes the virtusertable. Surely
there are others out there who do not wish to get email forms from "nobody"
Or the company that setup my Raq just didn't know how to do it and I'm the
only one?

**********

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/writes to 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 (which is the server name)and those
were easy to identify by customers as returned forms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jon
