Detecting the proper reply email address in a form

S

SoloSEO

I've have a bit of experience with forms, but now that I want to use an
autoresponder with my new form I'm having a bit of a problem.

The autoresponder is detecting the webhost server address instead of the
subscriber's email address in the form. What do I change where to correct
this?

Side note: when I save the form I get a message that says the form won't
email the results, but I know it will, so I click the ignore button and save
anyway. With all my other forms I've gotten the form result in an email,
though I wonder since I'm wanting the results to be read by an autoresponder
I'm doing something entirely wrong.

The web host must configure the autoresponder to work with the FP Form Handler, this is not
something you can do unless you have admin rights on the server.

The warning message is normal when you work locally on a disk-based web or a server-based web that
is not set up to process email via the FP extensions.

The autoresponder is supplied by my webhost, and I've created the
autoresponder using the control panel. Is there more that I need to actually
contact the webhost admin?

And thanks for the prompt reply.

You need to contact your web host, as they must configure it to process email generated by the FP
Form Handler.

If you web host is not willing to configure it, then you will not be able to use it with email sent
via the FP Form Handler

OK, I'll contact my webhost. Seems I've got several questions for him.

You've been a great help this morning Thomas, where would us hackers be
without helpful souls like yourself.
