    Erm, but then every spammer will have access to my email, did you read the thread? This is the whole point, I'm trying to avoid giving my email out.

    Your e-mail address is not viewable, and if you have decent controls in place (capcha) you shouldn't have to worry about SPAM through that method.

    I must be missing something here.

    I have two options: add a link to a contact page but if I use the standard vbulletin sendmessage.php then the messages goto noreply@domain.com as I have changed the webmaster email to that.

    Second one is to specify a mailto: address which then sends a direct email using outlook and the email address is completly viewable.

    Can you explain how I setup your method, I just don't see any options to do it.

    I found what you mean.

    It works, only when a user selects 'other' to enter a custom title for the message it goes to the deafault email address which is a dead one.

    Fixed it by editing out the 'other' option in the template.

    Thank you for your help, didn't see that option before you mentioned it, much appreciated!

    Or, you could use my method.

    In sendmessage.php, find:
    PHP Code:
    $destemail =& $vbulletin->options['webmasteremail']; 
    Replace with:
    PHP Code:
    $destemail "youremailaddressk@yourdomain.com"

    I just got an email notification from noreply@vbseo.com, so which method do you use here?
