Hi Folks:
I've tried several ways to get a simple HTML form to result in an email to a person. I've done this sort of thing for years and this is my first experience with bluehost. I am not having any success and I would greatly appreciate someone's help. Instead of going through everything I've tried, I'll just focus on bluemail. It seems like it should be pretty simple but I can't make it work. Here goes:
My form URL: http://www.modelcustomer.com/testmail.htm
The form code:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form action="http://www.bluehost.com/bluemail" method="POST">
Name: <input type="text" name="Name"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="mailfrom"><br>
Street Address: <input type="text" name="StreetAddress"><br>
City: <input type="text" name="City"><br>
Zip: <input type="text" name="Zip"><br>
Phone: <input type="text" name="Phone"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="sendtoemail" value="andyknaster@yahoo.com"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send Email">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.modelcustomer.com">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The result:
andyknaster@yahoo.com does not appear to be a valid email address
Could not get email address, or email address not valid. 66.94.234.13
I figured maybe it didn't like having a yahoo.com address so I tried two other addresses and neither worked. I'm using the sample code from the site and doing nothing fancy. I must be missing something simple. Any clues?
