Hiya,
This is probably a really easy hack but I've not got a clue, I even kidded myself that looking at sendmessage.php would help me find the answer PMSL.

Anyway all I want to do is stop the Contact Us form from spoofing the senders email address and instead use the webmasters email address as set in the VB options.

My reasoning for this is that both hotmail and spam assassin are dumping any emails sent through the form straight to my spam/junk box, due to the spoofing, and without knowing which email address, ahead of time, is going to send an email through the form I can't configure the spam settings to let it on through.

Obviously I still need to know the users email address as entered by them on the form but I don't understand why the email from the form itself has to come spoofed from the users email and not the forum webmaster's address.

If possible I'd like to avoid hacking code, so do it via a product/plugin, but any help towards resolving this, even if it does require code hacking, would be greatly recieved.

Thanks for any help, advice or info.
