Hello,
I'm having a problem using SmartList with FormMail. I have a web form that prompts for an email address, then generates a message to the newsletter subscribe address, with subject "subscribe", from the address that the user entered. The problem is that it doesn't work. No user visible error is generated, but in the message mailed to the list admin there are header lines
X-Diagnostic: Already on the subscriber list X-Diagnostic: 752 listadmin@ourdomain.com 32744 listadmin@ourdomain.com
In the SmartList log I see
From listadmin@ourdomain.com Tue Aug 31 19:29:47 2004 Subject: subscribe Folder: formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRe 1190
It looks like SmartList thinks that the message is sent from the admin's address, and discards it since that address is already on the list, even though the "from" header is set to the new address. Sending a subscribe message from a mail client works, so the list software seems to be set up correctly. The web form is configured correctly as far as I can tell, and does put the email into the "from" header.
I'm at a loss to understand why SmartList thinks these message are coming from the admin address. Any ideas? Thanks
