Does anyone have or know where to find an ASP code for a simple mailform, which has the feature to autoreply the sender ?
Thanks a lot. |

Yeah, I need both:
1. Set the reply to sender adresse.
2. Automatically send a thank you mail to the sender.
I need the entire code please, I can hardly write response.write correctly. |

Ahhhh - in that case what you're trying to do is something pretty different - you need to watch a mailbox (pop3, probably, for INCOMING emails) and send a response on arrival of an email. ASP is a technology to run scripts when a WEB PAGE is requested, and sends an email with SMTP (outgoing emails)
You need a service running to poll the mailbox and send the thankyou emails when it finds incoming email. |

Ay, I've done something similar on ocassion, it shouldn't be too difficult to add it to the PD9 script.

I was looking at the code for PD9 script, and it seems very extensive compared to the simple script I use now, would it be possible to add the 2 features to this? Most important would be "1. Set the reply to sender adress."
<%
smtp_server_address = "websmtp.XXX"
on error resume next
Response.Buffer = True
Set Jmail = Server.CreateOBject( "JMail.Message" )
Jmail.Logging = true
Jmail.Silent = true
JMail.From = "from@mail.dk"
Jmail.AddRecipient "to@mail.dk"
JMail.Subject = "Message from this site"
FOR EACH el IN Request.Form
body = body & el & ": " & Request.form(el) & vbcrlf
NEXT
JMail.Body = Body
JMail.Priority = 1
if not Jmail.Send(smtp_server_address) then
' There was an error - print the error log
Response.write ("Error:<br>" & Jmail.log)
else
' The message has been sent - redirect to confirmation page
Set JMail = Nothing
response.redirect "redirect.asp"
end if
Set JMail = Nothing
%> |

For the ReplyTo part, you can just add a line: JMail.ReplyTo = "replyto@address"
More tips for JMail: http://www.webmage.com/support/jmail.asp#ReplyTo
If you want to automatically sent the 'thank you' mail, I'd put it in there right after sending the first mail, e.g. something like this:
<%
' Sending the email
JMail.Sender = "wii@mail.dk"
JMail.Subject = "Thank you!"
' Get the recipients mailbox from a form (note the lack of a equal sign).
JMail.AddRecipient Request.Form("from")
JMail.Body = "Thank you for sending your e-mail"
' Send it...
JMail.Execute
%>
If I'm not mistaking this should work quite allright. I haven't got the JMail component available here, so I cannot try it. |

JMail.ReplyTo = "replyto@address"
But it needs to take the email adress from the form ?
I´ve tried the thank you mail code, but it didn´t work.
Help is appreciated, I wouldn´t even pay someone to do this for me, as a client of mine needs this.
Thanks a lot. |

Nope sorry, check the mailform itself here (very simple, as I like it)
<FORM action=SendMail.asp method=post>
<P><STRONG><LABEL for=name>Name<BR></LABEL></STRONG><INPUT id=name maxLength=200 size=35 name=name> </P>
<P><LABEL for=email><STRONG>Email</STRONG><BR></LABEL><INPUT id=email maxLength=100 size=35 name=email></P>
<P><STRONG>Message<BR></STRONG><TEXTAREA id=msg name=msg rows=10 cols=35></TEXTAREA> </P>
<P><INPUT type=submit value="Send"></P></FORM> |

This part of aspformmail.asp takes the form field and sets it to a variable and checks the validity of the email address.
CheckEmail(Request("FromEmail"))
strFromEmail = Request("FromEmail")
If you use Request("FromEmail") as the reply to address and bypass the validity check the mail may not get sent or you may not be able to reply to it as it may be invalid.
You obviously need a form field called FromEmail in the form for this to work. |
