I've looked around and find nothing relating to this so i'm posting in hopes someone can tell me what I have configured incorrectly...
Both e-mails are sent correctly. The one to me, and the autoresponse to the user submitting the form.
The one to me, from the form, is as it should be. From name, Subject, everything in the mail received is correct.
The autoresponse however, is 'confused.'
The "From" field is comprised of Name@domain.com (example: The user enters his name as Joe User. His e-mail address is doesntmatter@yahoo.com. The From on the autoresponse message is: Joe@yahoo.com. Note that only the string up to the first whitespace is preserved) It should be the value I set in $fromemail yes?
The From name is the same as the address as stated above:
Joe@yahoo.com
where it should be:
Joe User
The Subject of the autoresponse is the same subject as the message admin receives from the form submission. Again, should be $mail_subject yes?
It appears the three values:
$sendername
$fromemail
$mail_subject
...are not being passed correctly to the autoresponse sub.
I know basically nothing about cgi so I am at a loss....
I hope I've been as clear as mud in describing my problem...
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

This is normally due to your mail server being configured that way.
Something you can try to bypass this is to run setup.cgi and where the path to the sendmail program is specified change it so that it looks like this:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -f
So in other words you just add an -f parameter to the end of the path to the sendmail program inside setup.cgi

Thank you for your response. I had to wait for my dns to propagate as my hosting server was just moved, hence my delay in responding.
When I append the -f to the sendmail path, NO mail is sent out, not the autoresponse OR the admin mail containing the form contents.
I am pretty sure (like you say) it is configured this way. If you may suggest what needs to be changed, my host is pretty receptive to suggestions I make. If I was to suggest a change to his config, he would probably do it, but I don't know what to suggest to him.
The platform information is:
Linux Kernel 2.6.18-028stab053.6
Apache Version: 2.2.6
PERL: 5.8.5
I realize there is no support for this free script and I do appreciate your previous response!
Thank you,
Kevin Murie
