interpreted = N
texte = I've got my store set up to make the from address on e-mailed orders the address of the customer. Problem with this is that Emailer/EIMS chokes when that address is not valid. This happens enough to be of concern, generally with AOL users, who leave off the @aol.com and Compuserve users, who use commas in their address. When e-mailer chokes like this, it tries to send that again and again, creating error after error and not processing the other messages in the folder.I'm under considerable pressure to leave the cusotmer's e-mail as the from address. What I need is a good test-for-properly-formed-email-address validator that I can use inside of a showif on my purchase page. Anybody have one that works particularly well?TIA, Luke http://www.upline.com___________________________________________________________________________ For software for Network Marketers, check out http://www.kaizensoft.com Upline is Online: http://www.upline.com ___________________________________________________________________________ ============================ Luke Melia || Was it for this my || || life I sought? || Snail Mail: || Maybe so and || 106 South St. Suite 209 || maybe not... || Charlottesville, VA 22902 ===========PHISH============ (804) 963-2608 Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
