Pretty close Danny,
I've been looking at other sites that have anonymous sendmails and it looks
like they are using a key field of the database record and when you click on
the link it sends the parameter to a servlet (or cgi) which looks up the
email address that corelates with the key field and brings up a servlet
(cgi) generated html page for some one to type there email into. The link
below is an example of what I am trying to do (The part that says "reply to
ad") when I mean anonymous email.

&query=retrieval&category=Auto+Parts

Subject: Re: Sending anonymous email
Hey!
One way this can be done, if I interpret your question correctly, you can
set up
servlet
properties, either by fussing with the servlets.properties file or use you
servlet
engine's administration applet and add email addresses aliases like this:
Johnny [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Janie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then you can send Johnny or Janie as parameters and no one will know the
E-address.
Am I on track with your question?
Sans adieu,
Danny Rubis
