Hi There,
I'm a student and i've designed a form for my school site wherin we can send mails to the student through this form.In our college we are given email ids like <your registration number>@college-domain.com.If the student has added his cellnumber as forwarded address,then a sms is sent.
But the problem i'm facing is the mails are either not reachin the recipient or it goes very late varying from 6-7 hours late to 3 days.The code as below.
Can anyone correct me or give me an alternative code....?
Overview
Here the there are 3 college domain like college.com ,college.net , college.edu
Admission numbers starting from 4NI00XXXXXX to 4NI01XXXXXX are given email address in college.com domain. And 4NI02XXXXXX to 4NI03XXXXXX are given the email address in college.net domain and so on. now what i want to do is put 4NI00,4NI01,4NI02,4NI03 in a drop down menu and when they want to send a email if they select 4NI00 the mail should go to that particular domain.In between there should be a text box where they enter the remainin part of their ADMISSION NUMBER.( i.e XXXXXX)
So email should go to: 4NI00<text entered>@<particular domain name>
The FROM email ID is constant i.e its fixed to somethin like <admin@college.com>
