yogaboy -> Hiding email add from nutters! (11/25/2004 20:58:21) Bonjourno, I want to create a form to email using CDONTS or CDOSYS that won't show the recipient's email address to the sender. A hidden field won't do, as the source code shows the email address. The recipient's email will come from the database. How is it done??? On submit would I send the user away from the page running the email script by using a redirect so they don't have time to look up the page source? This is really important to my clients as they sometimes deal with mentally not-so-safe people (webmasters and their sort)[:D]

Spooky -> RE: Hiding email add from nutters! (11/26/2004 1:32:10) Basically that - you link to an ID number, and you look up that ID in the database when you send the email via script. If you just have raw email addresses, then there are tricks to hide them. The best trick is not to expose them at all, by using a database

yogaboy -> RE: Hiding email add from nutters! (11/26/2004 5:09:50) I just don't get it??![&:] Each of the people being sent to does have an ID number in the database, but I don't see how I will use that ID number to send the email. I will use the ID number to make sure the right person's email address is called, but if I use this in CDOSYS myTo = myRS("EmailAddress") objMail.To = myTo won't the email address still be visible via the Source code? Sorry if I'm being dense!
