Registering an email address

Hi all
Is it possible to create a an email box, where someone can enter thier email address, click send, and then an email is sent to me that shows their email address, without it going through an email program?

Yeah, it's annonymous email. PHP can do this but it oftentimes ends up in junk mail folders.

Unhappy Re: Registering an email address

Can you only do this using PHP?
Why does the email normaly end up in junk mail?

Re: Registering an email address

You could use any server side scripting language but PHP is readily available and understood by many.

People forget to make the email that PHP generates appear to be a valid email. You need to provide a sensible looking topic, a brief content (so it doesn't appear as an empty email) and a valid return address.

Re: Registering an email address

I thought it was because of spoofing that it ended up in junk mail folders. Maybe a combination of everything?
