I have an ASP script for users to replying by email to job postings. I set
up the message using CDO as usual:

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Example CDO Message"
objMessage.From = "blah"
objMessage.To = "myemail@comcast.net"
objMessage.TextBody = "blah"
objMessage.Send

I did not realize that objMessage.From needs to be filled in, and that
there is no vlaidation. Suppose that's how spammers work their magic.

Is there a way to determine the user's email account so I can fill in
objMessage.From ? I am thinking No, that a server app can not strip
something off a user's PC memory. Otherwise I will have to set
objMessage.From to a generic term.


Thanks!
Pete

Correct.

You could ask them for their mail address.
