FrontPage Form Results to Multiple Recipients - 6/1/2006 21:47:47
Here's a pretty simple (in retrospect) solution to what had become a major PITA for me.
One of my clients has a form on his site and he'd like the results of that form to go to multiple recipients. This is doable in FP but it can be a bit of a pain. I solved this problem by letting the email server do the work!
Rather than trying to figure out how to make the form deliver its output to "person1@domain.com" and "person2@domain.com", I set up an email forwarding alias.
That alias is called, "feedback@domain.com" and I set it up to deliver any incoming mail to those addresses ("person1@domain.com" and "person2@domain.com"). I then set up the FP form to send its output to "feedback@domain.com."
Now, when the alias address ("feedback@domain.com.") receives the form-generated email message, that message is sent to each recipient. ("person1@domain.com" and "person2@domain.com").
Problem solved.
I hope this makes sense and I hope it is useful to someone!

Bravo! Where were you about 11 years ago? ;)
That is an excellent solution.
We use an asp mail script for that but I wish I would have thought about using rules with an alias. ;)

Back in the old (1998-2000 days when I was using Frontpage 98 it was possible to make a form send out emails to more than one email address.
Then along came FP2000 and for some reason it wasn't possible anymore. I then changed to your suggestion of using the alias system. It has worked perfectly ever since- never a problem.

It is still possible, just not with FP. I do this using ASPEmail and writing my forms by hand.
Take care,
Brian

LOL - I've done that for years, using forwarding on the server.
But it still irritaterd me -- I think I tried more than one recipient separated by commas, but can't remember the results.
