Doteasy Tutorials - CGI FormMail - Recipient Email Address


How to find my special email format?

If you will be sending your PHP FormMail results to an email address under the website domain name, the recipient email address must be specified in a special format. You will need to know the host name of your email server in order to configure the recipient email address properly. Step 1 shows you how to find your email server host name.

Login to Doteasy Webmail to view your email server host name. After you login to Webmail, the URL address of the Webmail connection will display your email server host name. In this example the email server host name is dpmail01.doteasy.com. Once you have found the host name, you may logout of Webmail and close your browser.

Specify the FormMail recipient address using the following format:

joe%abcwebsite.com@dpmail01.doteasy.com

The recipient email address in this example is joe@abcwebsite.com, however the email address must be specified as joe%abcwebsite.com@dpmail01.doteasy.com where abcwebsite.com is the website domain name and where dpmail01.doteasy.com is the email server host name.
