Setting The "from" Address

[wsuarez]

Good morning all.

 

The Support Desk suggested I try posting this question here to see if y'all might have any advice.

 

I have, via other hosting providers, been able to set the "from" address that is used to generate emailed forms results by modifying a setting in the FrontPage server extensions. I do not seem to have that ability in the cPanel on TCH.

 

The Support Desk indicates that all emailed form data comes from: nobody@<servername>.tchmachines.com and that there is no way to set the "from" on a per "domain" basis.

 

Any advice, confirmation?

 

Thanks,

Bill Suarez

Sorry, haven't used Frontpage in years. I use external form processing scripts that contain the from address when sending. I've written my own form processing scripts for each form in Perl so that won't help you.

 

Maybe one of our Frontpage users will be able to help you out.

There isn't a way to set the "from" address that I'm aware of.

 

What I do is on the form that the user fills in, I include an email field. Then, in the form options, the results of the form are emailed, and I set the "reply to" feature to look at the email field of the form.

 

Then, when I hit "reply" in outlook, it takes out ourtchname@serveryadayada.tchblahdeblah.com and puts in the address that the user submitted in the email field.

Thanks, this is what I've been doing as well but it's still clumsy.

 

I've been able to set this before when I had access to the Server Extensions themselves, I guess that's just not an option w/ the TCH setup.

 

Appreciate the response.
