ASP / Value Question

[Dvan]

Maybe there is an easy to do this. I am trying to send the results of a
form to our support mailbox. This works, but I have to provide it with a
static MailFrom.

I would like the From to be from the person who submitted the form.

Any insight? Our exchange server accepts a users Windows Logon, so I can
provide that and it should work.

I have a VBscript command that pulls that info plus the Doman into a string,
I can grab a substring of this to grab the UserID.

response.write "<input type=hidden name=User value='" & right(LogonUser,7) &
"'>"

Can I send this variable to this command somehow?
<input type=hidden name=mailfrom value=??????>

TIA

Try:

<%
sLogonuser = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
sUsername = Split(sLogonuser & "\")(0)
sFrom = sUsername & "@yourdomainname.com"
%>

You don't have to put this value in a hidden input. If you do that, clever
people can spoof the from address. Instead, use the code above to generate
the From address for your mail object.

Thanks "Ray at home", but the username plus "@yourdomainname.com"
will not work with my Exchange Server, it has to be either the Network ID
by itself or the format needs to be in fi****************@yourdomain.com

You need to take the username, and from that, extract the person's e-mail
address from your Active Directory. Is that what you're saying?

Look at this sample code:
