FormMail problem - I need help

I'm not sure if this is the correct Forum for this question, but here goes...

Any 'Techies' out there that can help me with this?

Using FormMail, I used to be able to add the following to a form -
----------------
name="recipient" value="WealthWords@getresponse.com,david@1-online-marketing.com
----------------
and get an email sent to me, plus another to my autoresponder to trigger a reply, simply by separating the email addresses with a comma.

But I've just recently installed a newer version of FormMail and it won't trigger the autoresponder. It just sends the email to me.

Any thoughts?

Hi David

I'm not very confident with forms, but in my experience I have to go into the /cgi/formmail.cgi file, and add the domain names to the @referrers section.

I.e., add in getresponse.com AND 1-online-marketing.com.

I think when you open formmail.cgi, it has instructions inside the file that tells you what to modify. Just open it in Notepad (or similar).

Good luck!

Thanks Jet...

I had already tried that without results.

Hi David

I had another thought... in your form, what have you called the "Email" field? I can't quite remember, but I think it has to be called "email" (all lower case). This is very important, otherwise the form will appear to be coming from your server (or elsewhere), instead of from the person who actually submitted it.

If that was the case, then your auto-responder would be sending the response to the server (or who knows where), instead of the correct email address.
