.Net Email Form Question

General Web Coding Microsoft Development

I have created a Form to allow people who visit our website to email their friend about the site. I modified a form that we used for contacting us.

Everything worked until I wanted to put the person who is sending the email in the From or CC field and then it gave me the error:

The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1)

If I remove the Form Field under objMM.Cc it works just fine.

Here is the form:

I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,

I would highly recommend NOT using a FROM field, as spammers find these scripts and expliot them. Use a from, that is from the website, and in the body of the mail use text like, your friend at email@address wanted to…

And putting from fields will increasingly not work, becasue receiving mail servers are checking for SPF records these days, and will reject the mail.

Stephen,

I use a FROM that is from my website, but I wanted to see if I could CC the person sending the email. Is that possible.

Also JodoHost Chat recommended that I add SMTP Authentication to this. I am not a coder so I have no clue how to add it, but I would love to so it doesn’t get throw into the Junk Mail Folders of the recipient. Any ideas?

Thank you so much for the help!

Ok, sure you should be able to add a CC, as for SMTP auth, this article is quite good:

Stephen,

Thank you for your help. I switched to “localhost” and it works, but that won’t solve my problem with it showing the correct SMTP server in their email address, correct?

Thanks again,

Adam

Hi Adam, not sure what you mean by “showing the correct SMTP server in their email address”, but what Stephen provided is correct. Can you explain the question a bit further?
