Send email with a form

Question

in an effort to reduce the amount of email addresses on my
website (because of spam), i'm making a contact form. i was hoping
someone could help me figure out what i think is a simple script.
there is a drop down box in the form with everyone's names in it.
whichever contact the user chooses, the message from the form will
be sent to them. hope this makes sense; thanks in advance for any
help.

Answer 1

Form Action Page
<cfmail to="#emailTo#" from="#form.emailFrom#"
subject="string or variable">
#form.content#
</cfmail>
Where the emailTo value comes from is up to you. You can have
the email
address in the value parameter of the option tags, but this
would still
expose them the spam harvesting. Or you can have the value be
the keys
to the database table where the send to names came from. Then
on the
action table requery this table using the key from the form
data and
then use that value in the <cfmail...> tag.
