how do you change the "From:" email address to an email address found in form (to make replying easy) instead of having admin email displayed?

Re: [ajmd] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Sorry about the delay in replying. You could simply change;

Code

                      from      => $CFG->{db_admin_email},

...to;

Code

                      from      => $from,

... and then just below;

Code

my $send_addy = $to_email || $opts->{EmailAddress};

...add;

Code

my $from = $IN->param('Contact_Email');

...so it looks something like;

Code

my $send_addy = $to_email || $opts->{EmailAddress}; 
my $from = $IN->param('Contact_Email')

Hope that helps.

Re: [Andy] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Thank you very much for your answer. I applied the changes.

Unfortunately, I get this error message when I go to the script afer:

Quote

Software error:syntax error at contact.cgi line 117, near ") # now do the email sending... require GT::Mail"Execution of contact.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

Any clue why ?

Sorry, please add a ; after $IN->param('Contact_Email')

i.e;

$IN->param('Contact_Email');

Hope that helps.

Hi Andy,
I did this two changes, and it works fine, but I want the username as well in the email, not only the emailadress. What do I have to add?

Thanks

Hi,

Do you mean something like this? Not 100% sure it will work - but is worth a try =)

Code

my $from = $USER->{Username} . '<' . $IN->param('Contact_Email') . '>';

Hope that works :)

Re: [Andy] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Andy,
I think $USER->{Username}
is the right variable when the user is logged in.
But when the user is not logged in there should be inserted something like Contact_Name?

Thanks

Hi Andy
this line works fine, when logged in users use the contact form

Code

      my $from = $USER->{Name} . '<' . $IN->param('Contact_Email') . '>';

But unlogged users names are not combined with the emailadress

This code below ends in a weird combination of name/email/mydomain ?!?!

Code

my $from = $USER->{Name} ||  $IN->param('Contact_Name') . '<' . $IN->param('Contact_Email') . '>';

Hi Andy,
that's it, thanks. Now I have Name and Email combined in the from: field

My fight against spam filters needs one more modification :-)
When users contact a link owner with the contact form (ID included) there is at the moment only the email in the to: field
Is there a combintion with Name and Email possible, too?

Thanks

Re: [Andy] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Andy,
OK, let's try it with other words.
That's the mail header, when a logged in user sends another user an email

Code

From: "Sigrid Vogel" <test@test.de> 
To: <otheruser@gmx.de>

You see, the From: field works fine, there is the email AND the Name.
In the To: field there is only the email.
I think the spam filter doesn't stop the email, when there is a Name AND the email in the To: field, too.

Thanks
Matthias

Hi Andy,
I still need help with this problem
When a user contacts another user with the contact form (user ID included) the email header looks like this

Code

----- Original Message ----- 
From: "Lisa Neu" <lineu@arcor.de> 
To: <h.lutz@gmx.com> 
Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 10:21 AM 
Subject: Something

But I need the following email header

Code

----- Original Message ----- 
From: "Lisa Neu" <lisa.neu@gmx.com> 
To: "Hans Lutz" <hans.lutz@gmx.com> 
Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 10:21 AM 
Subject: Something

The missing name "Hans Lutz" in the email header causes problems with some spam filters...

Re: [Matthias70] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Andy,
as I said above the header looks perfect now, but the some emails are still defined as spam.

I think I know now why.

When a user is writing another user on my site an email with this link

Code

 <a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/contact.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">Email to <%LinkOwner%></a>

There is an email sent from user A to user B BUT from my domain.

Some Email accounts have spamfilters that filter all emails coming from free emailproviders when they are sent from another domain?!?! :-(

The only solution I see, is that the sender user A email is my admin email, but that's bad for the community and esspecially for me, because every answer of user B is coming back to me. :-(

I hope you understand
Do you have another solution than using the admin email?

Thanks
Matthias

Re: [Matthias70] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Andy,
maybe I have a solution for this but I don't know if this can be done with your contact page.
In my email programm (outlook express) I can define a sender email and a different response email.

So when user A clicks the following link

Code

<a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/contact.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">Email to <%LinkOwner%></a

he should be able to email the form to user B with the admin email.
When user B wants to answer user A he clicks on response in his email programm and sends back a email to the user A email adress (defined in the glinks user account).
I hope you understand what I mean ;-)

EDIT: After another google search:
Must be something with: reply-to: user A email

Matthias

Re: [Andy] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Andy,
I give my best to explain it in other words ;-)

On the detailpage on my site gpaed.de the user A wants to send an Email to User B with the link

Code

<a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/contact.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">Email to <%LinkOwner%></a>

At the moment the header looks like this

Code

From: "User A" <user_A@hotmail.com> 
To: "User B" <user_B@yahoo.com> 
Subject: test

Here is a perfect email header. Email accounts would not put this email in the spam folder, because the sender is a emailadress of the domain gpaed.de (in this case the admin email).

Code

Reply-To: "User A" <user_A@hotmail.com> 
From: "USER A" <admin@gpaed.de> 
To: "User B" <user_B@yahoo.com> 
Subject: test

Hope that helps ;-)
Thanks
Matthias

Hi Andy,
it's half the way.
The message of an user A now is sent by the admin email to User B. So far so good.
But there is no Reply-To field defined in the email header.
So when user B tries to answer user A. His answer is going back to the admin email and not to the User A email.

Thanks

Re: [Matthias70] contact page [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Andy,
I looked on the code of your contact_3.cgi
It sents emails with the following header:

Code

From: Tine Meier<admin@test.de>  
Subject: test  
To: Matthias Franz <m.franz@gmx.de>  
Content-Type: text/html  
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable  
Message-Id: <1192442885.193454160.29972563596@www.test.de>  
Mime-Version: 1.0  
Reply: Tine Meier<tinemeier@gmx.de>

I tried to change the reply to reply-to. But I get an error message. I think its not allowed to use - in the code.
Also I tried to put the reply: emailadress on top of the from: emailadress, but I did'nt find a way :-(

When my emailprogramm sents an Email with different reply emailadress the header looks like this

Code

Reply-To: "Tine Meier" <tinemeier@gmx.de>  
From: "Tine Meier" <admin@test.de>  
To: <m.franz@gmx.de>  
Subject: test

Thanks
Matthias
