HomeManaged ServicesServer AdministrationFrontPage Forms come from anonymous@hostname

1.5. FrontPage Forms come from anonymous@hostname

SYMPTOMS:
Even though the end user control panel has the FrontPage From / Reply to email address set, FrontPage based forms has a "from" email address of anonymous@hostname (where hosthame is the hostname of the server that the FrontPage HTML file is located on).

 

RESOLUTION:
1.  Log onto the server that has the form with the problem
2.  cd /usr/local/frontpage
3.  Edit the "domain:80.cnf" file
4.  Make sure you have the following lines (you will have to create the sendmailcommand line, but you may also have to create the other lines):

mailreplyto:[email address without brackets]
mailsender:[email address without brackets]
sendmailcommand:/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -f[email prefix without brackets]\@[domain name without brackets or www] %r
smtphost:[IP address of your mail server without brackets]

Example:

dynamicnet.net:80.cnf

mailreplyto:support@dynamicnet.net
mailsender:support@dynamicnet.net
sendmailcommand:/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -fsupport\@dynamicnet.net %r
smtphost:66.187.148.120

You do not have to restart any services after making changes to the .cnf file in /usr/local/frontpage
