Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jon,

Dan and others have spoken correctly here. Let me give the example from the fmail.pl script I use.

Wherever an e-mail input box is defined in a form on a page, that input box has to be called: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="username" VALUE="" SIZE=N MAXLENGTH=N> (N=whatever size you wish)

The important thing here is the NAME="username". In this fmail script, username is a trigger that places the fillerouterperson's (tm)...:) e-mail in the reply to box when you get the form's output in your e-mail. If I just name the e-mail form field "e-mail", then the message comes to me from "nobody". Remember this doesn't help you in your quest to reply to someone if they've input their own e-mail incorrectly...*grin...happens all the time.

so this is script driven, not server stuff. Look in your script for some such "requirements"

HTH,
Diana
