Hi,

How do I use the FormMail script so the form is sent to my email address as well as sent to an autoresponder that sends a message right back to the sender.

I have specified multiple recipients with FormMail using the following tag:

as well as made sure that the text input field that captures the visitors' email addresses is named "Email" so that it appears in the "From" field when sent out as an email.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Theodore

But it doesn't seem to deal with this issue. I remember somewhere reading that you could have multiple values for recipient, but I can't remember if they were separated by a comma or a semi-colon.

You're on the right track, of course.

You could also have the auto-responder send you a copy.

I didn't see anything on auto responders right off, but you might be able to email them to get an answer!

Well... BigNoseBird has a good one with autoresponders...
basically it executes
[code]
open (MAIL, /path/to/mail-v);
print MAIL "To: $formdata('sender')";
print MAIL "From: $myemail";
print MAIL "Subject: Form";
print MAIL "You filled this out";
close(MAIL)

open (MAIL, /path/to/mail-v);
print MAIL "To: $myemail";
print MAIL "From: formdata('sender'";
print MAIL "Subject: Form";
print MAIL "They filled this out";
close(MAIL)
