Recently have seen some emails vanish without being delivered from various forms on a particular site. Been working great past four years with no trouble, so was a head scratcher...
After going back and forth with HostMySite a number of times, the only thing we could could come up with was that the "from" field was using the senders address entered into the form, and since that was usually a different domain than the mail server, was possibly getting filtered out along the path to be delivered because it looked like a spoof. In other words - the server the site was using "mail.mysite.com" and the sender email from the form would be "[email protected]". They suggested switching all cfmail "from" parameters to a trusted address like "[email protected]", and simply having the address of the sender in the body somewhere. Sound about right to you folks? This sorta thing wasn't an issue four years ago when this particular site was put together. My client is hesitant to switch the sending address, because they just want to be able to hit 'reply' and not have to do anything else. Having Bob's email address as the "replyto" would solve that. So, what about the "replyto" attribute? Does that one matter as far as spam/spoof filters go, in any body's opinion? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:318504 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
