Formmail errors..?

I'm using dreamhost's cgi form for my webpage's contact form (which emails the responses to me).

I didn't use to have this problem but I can't figure out what has changed.
The form on this page: http://oaksclass.com/siteinfo/contact.html

When you submit it, the email I get says:
From: nobody@geronimo.dreamhost.com
when according to the knowledge base and past experience, it used to say their email address...
The reason I ask for their email is so that I can just respond to the email directly. What's the deal with it changing to the nobody bit?

That's what you get when the person does not enter an email address into the form. Apparently in the past, people always did, and now somebody didn't.

Well, that's not true either because they did enter an email address into the form. I know because the form showed the email address with the rest of the info (in the body of the message) vs. it being the reply to address...

Are you sure they entered the address into the address block and not into the message block?

In the email what does it say on the line after:
"Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by"

() or (email@example.net) ?

The field names used to control the form processing must be in lower case.

<input type="text" name="email" size="60" maxlength="100">

Since you capitilazed "Email" in your source, it is not going to be recognized as the return e-mail address.

Perl / MySQL / HTML CSS

LOL!! The capital letter is what did it.
Geez--that was silly. Thanks Atropos!
