Don't know about other sites. All we did was set up an email account that is used by the server. So you can give this account any name that will work with your email server. When the server sends an automated email, this is the address that is in the "FROM" attribute. except for certain ones were my address or one of the other SAs address is coded in. When an email gets sent to this account it is automatically forwarded to me and the other SAs.
To get the customers email address, we just added it to the body of the emails sent to us. Hope this helps some Other than getting the Administrator of the email server to change the settings on the server. -----Original Message----- From: Koo Pai Lao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 12:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Email Question HELP!
