Thanks Chuck that is what I left out. Hard coding since it is only
going to one person or email address. Set the form e-mail to only be
to one user in the domain to deal with it.
Example
<.form blah blah>
From:
Input field
User name <.check for too many letters like more than 30>
next field
Domain.xxx set to the max length a url domain can be then dot xxx.
Code into Formmail a concatenating variable. (input of user name)
nom&"@"&dom(domain.xxx) = nom(at)domain.xxx
Now before someone goes that is not perl, I know it is just that easy.
P.S. Don't learn COBOL.
