Forms "from" address

I have two forms on my webpage that send the form to one of my e-mail
addresses. When a customer submits the form, I receive it with no problem.
The only catch is that the "from" address of the form is an email address
that is not mine and always the same. Is there somewhere in FrontPage 2003
that will allow me to change the "from" address of a form?
 
The "From" address is the server (your host where your web site is), this is
generated by the form handler/server extensions, not the person who
submitted the form. You'd need to put in a field called "From" or "email"
that the person fills in.

If you mean you get a strange email in the "from" field in your mail reader,
the above is the reason why.

The actual "From" address will be in the body of the mail, as a value that
the user filled in as one of the fields.

I think that's the issue you're referring to.

To have the specific user's email appear in the email when you open it, and
for the purpose of "Reply-To" then you'd need a custom form handler for your
server & operating system.

Check to see if your host offers a form handler like formmail.pl or similar,
something other than the FP server extensions.
