FP 2002 Form Email From Network User Address

[Pedro]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to use windows authentication to
display the senders email address in the from line of a
user submitted email FP form?

The FP forms work fine and send the email form results,
but as you know the server is sending the email and I must
specify a "from" email address in the results wizzard.

The reason I think this may be possible as I am behind a
firewall at my job on a network of 600 users that all have
to login using windows authentication to the network.

Currently, as I need to see whom sent the email in the
from line for a quick reply, I use a simple mailto:
powered by outlook. <form method="post"
action="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=my
subject"enctype="text/plain">

I would rather use the FP forms as the format and look is
much better.

Thanks for any help or ideas in advance.

Hi,

If you remove anonymous access to a FrontPage Web site,
an ASP page can get the current username via the
expression:

Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")

This may contain a "bare" username, domain\username, or
(e-mail address removed). But if, after cleanup, this equals
the e-mail address, there you are.

If the e-mail address is something else, you'll have to
call some service that translates username to e-mail
address. For example, you could look up the information
in Active Directory.

Once you have the e-mail address, you would format the
body of the message, then use the CDONTS.NewMail or
CDO.Message object to send it.
