Subject: Changing who the email is From |

| I'm having a problem with the "From" value. If I send an email to ykchee@yahoo.com, the "From" says "sales@yahoo.com", instead of "sales@wheatgrassjuicer.com.au". I've done the changes suggested in sendmail.cgi in one of the postings - ie for $SENDTOTHIS. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks very much! | |

| Are you talking about the autoresponse email that goes out or the email that get the results of the form back.

| Ok, there is no setting for this. It is set to default as the email address entered on the form as <input name="email">
Remember the from email USHUALY has to be different from the to email, or NO EMAIL WILL BE SENT. This is all dependent on your server configuration. With that in mind.
If using SMTP,
You could change this by editing smtp.cgi.
Line 87
$smtp->mail($formdata{'email'});
Line 92
$smtp->datasend("From: $formdata{'email'}\n");
JUST REPLACE: $formdata{'email'}
WITH THE EMAIL YOU WANT FORM POST TO BE FROM. REMEBER, DON'T FORGET THE \ BEFORE THE @ SIGN IN THE EMAIL.
EXAMPLE: email\@domain.com

| One other thing it would be easiest to open smtp.cgi in notepad and then just click on:
->EDIT
-> GO TO...
AND THEN ENTER THE LINE NUMBER

| I'm using sendmail.cgi, actually so I changed line 68: {From => $mail_sendto,} to {From => "sales\@wheatgrassjuicer.com.au",}
That works beautifully!! Thanks very much! | |
