I don't want the FROM to be replaced with the machine's host name, but the FROM field of the customer who fills in his email address in the web form. In other words, the system isn't seeing that field and is replacing with the "www@myhost.com". That's the only way my "vacation" program can send an autoreply to the customer. What you suggest will just send the autoreply back to the machine it came from. Any other thoughts...?? Sorry if this is not clear. Best regards, Jack L.
