formail code/help

[Teacher]

Hello,
I am new to Future Quest. I have a problem. I am being spammed by someone who is being very persistent.... subscribing me to many lists each day.
On my webpage, I use the Future Quest formail form and when someone sends me email, my email address is revealed to them. If I changed my address to one unknown to this spammer, he could then know the new one and begin all over.
I have written the directions as follows. I thought that hidden name meant that it didn't show.
<INPUT TYPE=hidden name="recipient" value="lsdaniel@eudoramail.com">
But it shows: Below is what you submitted to lsdaniel@eudoramail.com on Friday, August 24, 2001 at 19:39:42
Can someone help me with a code that will send me the mail but not show the address to the sender?
Many Thanks,

[sheila]

If you know who this person is, you should report him to his ISP for harrassment.

Hidden fields on forms are not secure in any way. Anyone can simply choose to "view source" of your webpage and read everything that you've put in the hidden fields.

You would need some other form processing script, that did not have the information in hidden fields.

Hello Teacher,

I believe this area of the Advanced formmail tutorial would help in this area: http://www.aota.net/Email/formmail.php3


redirect
Description: If you wish to redirect the user to a different URL, rather than having them see the default response to the fill-out form, you can use this hidden variable to send them to a pre-made HTML page.


Then using the code base below, changing the variables for your needs:

Syntax:
To choose the URL they will end up at:

<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.YourDomain.xxx/file.html">

To allow them to specify a URL they wish to travel to once the form is filled out:

<input type=text name="redirect">


As this will no longer display the default page someone see's when they submit the form.

I hope this helps,
Bob

Hi. Bob,
Thanks very much! I had read the directions, but didn't quite understand 'how' they worked.
I did change one of my mail forms and it worked.
and thanks Sheila, for your information too.
BTW- I called the provider and they said that they couldn't do anything...
Leif.
