Website email problem

    I've developed and uploaded a website but I'm having a problem with email on the website. Its like this. The website itself is a standard fair homepage, contact page etc.

    When a user fills in the contact page details to email the website the mail gets directed to another mail host. How can I reply to the sent mail without revealing my "personal" email address?

    To summarise, the user mails info@mysite.ie and their mail is directed to me@hotmail.com. How can I reply to their mail using an address such as webmaster@mysite.ie?

    Simplest method would probably be to use a program like Outlook, or Windows Live Mail(which isn't too bad imo). You can set it up to receive the emails from your site, rather than directing them to your hotmail, and you can also receive you standard hotmail stuff through the program. Then when you're replying to something, you can select which email address you want the recipient to see it being sent from.

    Gmail also provides all the capabilities of the above.

    As does Yahoo! Mail.

    Depends what your site is coded in. If it's in ASP.NET the back end code (C# or VB.NET) would be able to do what you want.
