How do you build a form with hidden email address in source?

I am new to forms. How do you build a form that does not have
the destination email address visible in the source? Don't want
spammers to get ahold of that email address. Simple tutorial
somewhere?
I just want just do a 5 field form to submit to an email
address.
Thanks,
Angie

There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2 is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing.

    how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

    You cannot change an iCloud email address unless you create a new iCloud account.  You can, however, create an email alias, which is an alternate email address that will receive incoming email in your existing iCloud email inbox.  To do this, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Just keep in mind that once you creat an alias, you can't later use this to create a new iCloud account or move it to another account, even if you delete the alias.

  • How do you host a domain and several email addresses from that domain with OS X Server?

    Right now I have a domain name through GoDaddy.com and one email address to that domain...we will have about 5-8 in total...How do I setup OS X Server to host our own domain (without using GoDaddy) and setup our own mail server?

    There are several steps that you would need to do.
    Set up OS X Server with mail services and users. Also, you may have to have your OS X mail server relay messages through your ISP so you can email people at other domains.
    Set up firewall/router to forward IMAP/POP and SMTP ports from your external IP address to your server (which is either in the DMZ of the firewall or on LAN).
    Set up DNS records so your domain name points to your server (and if you do not have a static IP address, you will need to set up dynamic DNS). At a minimum you will need 2 DNS records: an A (or AAAA for IPv6) record for the server (I think it can be the root of the zone) and a MX (mail exchange) record.
    If everything is set up correctly, you should have a mail server hosting on your domain with your server.
    Those would be the major steps you would need to complete. Details on the exact procedure for each of these steps can be found reading the OS X Server documentation, documentation for your router/firewall for port forwarding/NAT, and your specific DNS service.

  • Email Form With No Email Address

    Hello,
    I am trying to get more information on how I can help my
    clients reduce
    spam. I've normally built my forms by using:
    <form action=http://www.domain.com/cgi-sys/formmail.pl...
    <input type="hidden" name="recipient"
    value=[email protected]>
    but this obviously puts the email address right in the hands
    of the spam
    crawlers.
    Is there a way to eliminate having to show your recipient
    value in the HTML?
    Can someone tell me how this is done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Note this utility has just been updated today to 4.5 (was in
    beta) and
    includes a number of optional Form SPAM Control fields
    (hidden field, timer,
    CAPTCHA e.g.) if you find your form being used to send SPAM.

  • HT5622 how do you find out what your rescue email address is

    I have a new iphone.  It asks me security questions to verify my identity.  I forgot answers and therefore it sends information to my rescue email to change questions.  How do I find out what my rescue email is?

    You can't after losing the answers. If guessing doesn't work, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • How can you find out who an iCloud email address is registered to?

    I have been being harassed by someone with an iCloud email address and I was wondering if there is any way to find out who it could be registered to, or at least an IP address?
    Thank you in advance.

    Realize too that is it very easy to fake a sender email address.  Using the e-mail address to identify the harasser would be as reliable as reporting a harasser on the street to police and telling them the person had told you their address was 300 Smith Avenue.

  • Submit button with multiple email addresses doesn't work while the same form with one email address does.  The multi email version works on windows computer.

    The email comes up when I press the "Submit" button but the email to field is blank.

    Hi,
    What is the separator character between two email addresses?  Is it a comma (,) semicolon(;) or something else?
    According to the mailto URI scheme (RFC 6068), you need to use a comma (,) to separate multiple email addresses.
    You can see the third example in the following Wikipedia page.
    mailto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Would you double check the mailto value in your PDF form?

  • Newsletter Form with only Email address?

    Hi guys
    I would like to add a Newsletter Subscripiton form without the Name and Last name fields.
    http://kinship.businesscatalyst.com/About/about-us
    The subcsripiton field is at the bottom footer.
    When submitting the form I get an error:
    "ERROR: An error occurred. Your web form must capture customer name and email address. Please fix this issue and re-insert your web form on your web page."
    I don't want the name just email. Is it possible?
    When I try to create a new form those fields (Name, Last Name and Email) are automatically added and there is no way to delete them.
    Thanks
    Micha

    Thanks Mario,
    I wish we wouldn't have to add names. A better UX is to use email since Newsletters are usually generic and only require an email.
    In Any case BC must change there Dynmiac Forms. The use of Tables is insane and the fact that each update requires inserting the form again is very odd.
    Back to work now...-(

  • How do you send mail using a different email address

    I have a BT yahoo mail account, (eg [email protected]) to which I have associated a domain name for my business use, (eg [email protected]). When I send a mail from my PC I can choose which email address to show in the from address, either my personal Btinternet account or my Business Name. However I don't have this option on the iPad. Has anyone else experienced this problem? And if so what's the solution.
    Many thanks in advanced.
    Bluto

    Badunit,
    Thanks no I don't have both accounts set up as the Business domain name is received and issued through the btinternet mail account. I've tried to set up a second account however this will not validate because they are both through the same mail account. Or am I missing something?

  • How can I build multithread appliccations with forms?

    good afternoon.
    I wish to know how I can build multithread apps with forms. Is it possible? ...
    thanks forward...

    Hi Craig:
    thank you very much. To solve the mystery : ) :
    I want to drive a stepper motor with a specific frequency. To get the current degree value of the motor I would like to measure the current time (from the beginning of the move on). (With a formula I get the degree value out of the time)
    Concurrently I would like to get data from a torque sensor and from a pressure sensor. That's why I asked you about the time and the table. The measurement should start with the movement of the motor. How can I do that? Right now I have different block diagrams (different while loops) (see attachment) and I would like to put them in one.
    I haven't done the block diagram for the pressure sensor yet, so there is only the one for the torque sensor and the one for the motor.
    I also would like to set a mark in the table when the voltage value of an analog input gets under a specific threshold value. Is that possible?
    I'm sorry, I'm a novice in LabVIEW. But maybe you can help me.
    Thank you very much!

  • How to build a form with multiple tables in oracle application express

    Hi everyone,
    I have got problem in building a form with multiple tables.I have a main table with (20) columns and this main table is related to the other tables with the primary key-foreign key relation ship.My requirement is i have to build a form which has fields from many tables and all the fields are related to the main table using (ID) column.In that form if i enter ID field i have to get information from differnt tables.

    Sans,
    I am no Apex expert, but with a situation as "complex" as yours, have you thought about creating a VIEW that joins these 7/8 tables, placing an INSTEAD OF trigger on that view to do all the business logic in the database, and base your application on the view?
    This is the "thick-database" approach that has been gaining momentum of late. The idea is to put your business logic in the database wherever possible, and let the application (Form, Apex, J2EE, whatever) concentrate on UI issues,

    You can build a form to a procedure in oracle portal that explores the queue with the option browse and prints de type message with htp package. I made it in this way and my applicattion works right. The procedure must loop the select count(msgid) from aq$[queuetable_name] times.
