Hi

I have made 2 forms.
http://www.ukopforms.co.uk/test.htm
http://www.ukopforms.co.uk/test.asp

The return address for the email ( (e-mail address removed) ) is clearly
shown on the htm (view source) but I can't find it on the asp form.

Is this a good method to stop people getting your e mail address and putting
us on spam lists.

Our company is going to change our e mail address due to some of the older
staff actually refusing to open the e mail inbox due to the content of some
of the mails (includeing the subject line - which always shows up on our spam
blocker). But before we do this we wanted to know if there is a way to hide
the e mail address in forms (which we need), so we don't have the same
problem in a short time.

I ran the e mails that we had blocked in the last 2 years though an access
query last week and there over 18,000 seperate email address listed. Of
which around 500 had sent us over 100 mails, 30 had sent us over 250 - so we
are obviously on some lists somewhere that are being sold around.

Many thanks
 
You can not hide the email address when you use the FP Form Handler.

If you use server-side scripting (ASP/VBscript) you would post the form to another page that has ASP
code to send the email to a hidden email address.

Hi Thomas

Thanks for getting back to me. I have change the address on the form
http://www.ukopforms.co.uk/test.asp
Can anyone find this (and post it here ?)

I assume they can.

If so can I use
<%
DIM strSomeThis
strSomeThing = Request.Form("Something")
%
Click to expand...


On the second form
<input type="hidden" name="SomeThing" value="<% Response.Write SomeThing %>">


To send the info from a form to another page and then have that page send
the mail to us. If so how would I hide the mail address in the 2nd page. I
am not back to the same problem.

Wayne,

See:
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp

Your form would post to a page that has content from one of the example shown at the above link. You
would need to match the field name to those on your form, etc.

You only need to have 1 form for input and 1 page to process the form data and send the email.

Don't do that.

In the form handler use an email handler to send the email without using
the FrontPage extensions.
Since you are on a Windows server you can use CDOSYS or CDONTS to send
the email - check with your host for server details.
