Reply To

Just wanted to say i love Chronoforms v3. Some awesome improvements.

One thing i see as missing is "Custom ReplyTo"
I often build a contact form that emails the client the contents and the user a confirmation/thankyou email.
I like to have these ReplyTo each other however using the users email address in the From header will cause problems with SPAM filters.

So.. Is there any chance of acdding the ability to specify a ReplyTo header from the contents of a form field?

Hi wizdum,

no way to do this with V3.0 without a hack, the reply too was getting blocked by some ISPs too, I will try to find some appropriate way to add it to a new version, but did it work with you fine before ? at how many sites you tried this ?

Cheers,
Max

Not sure if i tried it on the previous version... was it possibly for the ReplyTo to be set to a form field?

I was of the understanding that the From address was checked by spam filters for legitimacy but the ReplyTo was ignored?
Its seems a lot worse to spoof the From address. Thats kinda what i thought the ReplyTo header was for... to specify an address you request replies be sent to while still emailing from your address.

Hi wizdum,

no, earlier version was allowing to set a fixed reply to address only, I will check the whole thing and add to new release if applicable!

Great thanks.

again, awesome work.

one small usability thing i noticed that i thought i would mention was creating a table for data to be stored might like to automatically turn on the data storage and select the created table... it didn't seem to do that for me. also.. maybe a button to create the table on the DB Connection tab?😛

Was the adding of a Dynamic "Reply To" field for forms ever added?

If it is possible to hack the code, what is needed where?

The spam filter on our site replies to the individual for confirmation and landed in the reciver's spam box along with 1000 spam messages .... so we set the sending email to be the receiving one (to get through the spam filter) ... but would like to reply to the one who sent it by simply clicking reply.

thanks.

Hi Dr.Tech,

There is no Dynamic Reply To yet, Max has said he may bring it back in a future release.

My experience so far is that Dynamic From and Dynamic Reply To both cause us more support issues with lost emails than they are worth :-(

. . . and don't start me on spam filters that ask for confirmation :-)
