FORM get submitted to multiple email addresses?

M

Mr B

In the form properties where I enter the email addresses, can I enter multiples if I separate tem by
semi-colons or something like that? I didn't see this specified in the help anywhere and don't want
to break anythig by just trying it.

Thanks.

There are some convoluted procedures for getting this to
work, but if your e-mail provider supports distribution
lists, that's usually the easiest solution.

Basically, you:

1. Go to the admin pages for your e-mail account.
2. Click a link to create a distribution list.
3. Give the distribution list a name.
4. Specify the e-mail addresses of the people you
want to receive the mail.
5. Save.
6. Configure your FrontPage form to send its mail
to the distribution list. The mail server will
forward a copy to each recipient.

This also has the advantage of not including your
e-mail address in the HTML.

in your advice below wouldn't the list address be picked up
by spam harvesting ? and spam (as well as form info) be
forwarded to those addresses on the list ?

Yes, but if the list address starts receiving too much spam,
you can pretty easily set up a new list address, configure
your page to use it, and then delete the old list address.

This is much less trouble than deleting your "real" e-mail
address and notifying all your correspondents of the new one.
