Honestly, I don't understand exactly what you want...
Am I correct when I say that you want to have posts checked for certain words when they're posted, and if one or more of those words are found, a moderator will receive an email to alert him/her of that post?
Better get things 100% straight before any suggestions are made  |

| yes thats exactly right Roland. On my post.asp i have various drop down menus the contents of these drop menus are populated to the finished message i want to be able to alert moderators of a certain message content. |

Your best bet uraken is in post_info.asp. Find the piece of code that posts the message (I'm assuming this would be a new "topic". Here you would have make a check for the severity level and perhaps call another function to send an email.
For example:
if Request.Form("severity_level") >= 3 then
Call emailModerators(severitylevel, topicid, membername)
end if
The emailModerators sub would have the necessary code to email a list of people the relevant information. You could olace the code inline as well if you chose:
if Request.Form("severity_level") >= 3 then
// email code
end if

What is sub short for? The sub is a function that will run when called. in this case the sub was named emailModerators(). All the stuff within the parathesis are variavle that can be used within the sub. In other words:
sub emailModerators(severitylevel, topicid, membername)
//email code
email.body = "Hello moderators, there is a severity level "& severitylevel &" ticket pending.
Theticket was created by "& membername &". You can view the topic here: http://forum/topic.asp?topicid="&topicid&"
email.send
end sub
The code above is fictional, and will not work, but hopefully you get the gist of what the sub will do. Yo can then call it from anywhere in the page/site depending on your setup.

ok now i understand the concept but where does the script pull its email addresses from? or can that be aded to the code. Also i want the code to call itself on the event of the severity being a certain level and email the moderators in stealth mode without the poster of the message seeing it.Like i said i know very little ASP
thanks again for your time (patience) |

In fact, sub is shorthand for SubProcedure, meaning a subprogram that won't return a value. A function is a subprogram that does return a value, after execution is completed  . |

| Take a look at how pop_mail.asp works, that should get you started. |
