I currently have to define the email it gets sent to on that page which I dont like because it makes it easy to harvest. I know nothing about perl but I think it would be pretty easy to modify the script to send it to a chosen email address. Could anyone help me out?

david68 Joined: May 16, 2005 # Posts: 144	Posted: 2007-Jul-01 23:30 Are you referring to the "[ inquiry e-mail ]" part of the page? It's javascript so bots probably won't see it. I don't even see it in the script so I assume it's not. If this isn't what you mean, then you don't have any worries as people can't get your email as the script won't tell them - that's the whole point of using a form script. (Copy Shortcut)

eskus_123 Joined: Jul 01, 2007 # Posts: 3	Posted: 2007-Jul-02 03:55 David, What I mean is I have to define where the form gets sent in the actual form, for example: <input name="recipient" type="hidden" value="fake-email@visionwebsites.com.au"> I would like to remove that from the form and define where it gets sent in the script. Sorry if I didn't explain it very well but scripts aren't my thing (Copy Shortcut)

Remove that "recipient" line from your form page and add towards the top (under the comments) of your SCRIPT: $Config{'recipient'} = "youremail@addy.tld"; This would hard-code the address. The author did a poor job of writing this script as it's a dumb way to do it. He obviously did it so you don't edit the script. Try this on a dummy page to test it. Good luck, let me know if it works (Copy Shortcut)
