ok let me explain the problem. When I build a normal form through HTML and then upload it to the internet I get people finding problems posting there information with it. I think it is not friendly with some web email services such as Hotmail & Yahoo ect.

How can I make these forms email friendly and that people can post information hassle free ?

Also I run a website that adverts for people, How can I set these up so that my customer know that I refered them a buyer ??

Any help welcomed

Thanks

Are you just using a mailto: on the form?

Most often the free email services block email because of keywords (spam words), although can block IP ranges (aol bad for that). Have a look at your output, if there are words lke free, win, won, sex, drugs, books .... then you need to change them.

Also using PHP allows you a bit more freedom with forms, where as you can modify the headers etc which can also be blocked from
