This is a bit tricky, because FrontPage always sends
mail "From:" a system-configured address.

If you right-click your form, choose From Properties,
click Options, and select the E-Mail Results tab, then
under Reply-To Line you can:

o Select the Form Field Name check box.
o Enter the name of the form field that contains the
visitor's E-mail address.

The problem is, I don't know whether majordomo would sign
up the reply-to address (which is what you want) or
whether it would sign up the FrontPage system-configured
address (which is probably what it does). This would take
some work to investigate or configure.

Otherwise, you would have to write the page in ASP,
ASP.NET, or whatever your host supports.

Could the form go to an asp page utilizing CDO and have the mailer.from
field set as a result from the form?

Yes, that should work fine, and would the same technique using any
other ActiveX mailer your host provides, or using the System.Web.Mail
namespace in ASP.NET.

Unless, of course, your SMTP server bounces the mail with From:
addresses that specify unknown domain names. You'll need to work with
your host's technical support if that seems to be happining.
