ASP Email "Reply To" Issue

Just request the email address from the form as done further down your code:
objMail.To = Request.Form("Email")

You really should done evaluation before, though.

Hi:

Thanks for the input.

I think I solved it.

I added:

objMail.ReplyTo = Request.Form("Email")

and it's doing just what I want.

When you say "You really should done evaluation before, though.", what do you mean? Is there better way to go about this?

I pretty new to asp, so any input is appreciated.

Thanks again for the reply and help,

SP

You're welcome ;-)

I mean, it's good practice to evaluate if the user has entered a valid address.
In this case it is probably not too important, but in some cases you would want to check the address entered by the user. That is, if the address entered has the form of xxxx@xxxx.xxx
Some asp mail components fail if the address doesn't have this form, so sometimes it's necessary....

A general rule of thumb: you can neven do too much evaluation :cheesy:

Thanks.

I see what you mean. I sometimes validate it with javascript.

I know it's possible to do it with asp, and it can check if it's valid, etc.

But I'm not there yet..lol..

Something I will have to learn as I go.

But thanks again for the input,

SP
