Reply To email address

crlanier 30 Jun, 2009
Seems relatively easy, but can't quite get it. My client want to be able to hit "reply to" on the emailed form she receives, and have the 'reply to' be the address of the person who filled out the form. In the email details can I simply put the name of the field filled out by the user into the 'from' box or do I have to do something else?

Thanks!

Hi crlanier,

try to add the field name of the field which will hold the email address in a "Dynamic Reply to email" field, if it didn't work use it in a "Dynamic From email" field but the 2nd one may get your email blocked by ISP

Cheers,
Max

Same thing occurred to me. When I recieve email created by my contactform I would like to be able to use 'reply to'.

I read "blocked by ISP" and get 'scared'.

Most important is:
[list]the mail reaches me (does not get lost)[/list]
[list]my reply reaches to sender (does not get lost)[/list]
[list]I don't want spammers to be able to abuse my contactform[/list]
[list]I don't want mail, sent by my contactform to be regarded as junkmail or spamm[/list]
[list]last, butt not unimportant: When I recieve email I would like to be able to use 'reply to'.[/list]

How can I achieve all this?

<input title="Please enter a correct emailaddress!" style="width: 96%; " class="veld" name="Email" type="text" value="" />
If I use dynamic fromemail, should I use 'Email' or '{Email}'.

Thanks very much!

Hi lennart,

Make sure that you set From & From Email with valid addresses from your domain. Test that they work OK.

Then, when you are sure that basic email is working: add Dynamic ReplyTo Name & Dynamic ReplyTo Email.

Use just Email - no quotes and no brackets.
