I built a site for a company and put a form script (bnbform) in there. When their online form is submitted by a customer, it sends them an email with the info. Since I am helping them build their marketing campaign, I'd like to know when they get a lead through their site. But I don't really need to know any details. Just that the form was used. Which shows me when something good is happening. (A sales lead.)<br />
<br />
How could I make it just send me an email that the form was used? Here's part of the code.<br />

Adam<!--content-->Yes, you are right, but I really don't feel it is so cool for me to be reading their emails. I dunno. I had it configured as such but all I really need to know is when it gets used. I wonder if I could customize it to just send me blank info. However, I guess it would STILL *appear* as though I was getting their info.<br />
<br />
I got a nasty email from somebody, I have no idea who, and he wanted to know WHY in the heck *I* was getting a copy of their emails. This was months ago. Some kind of webmaster watcher dude. Weird.<br />
<br />
I don't think the site owner would mind but I'd feel more comfortable just being notified, no details.<!--content-->Perhaps you should ask the site owner for permission - I'm not that familiar with your particular form-to-mail script, but you will probably need a custom script to send a blank email as well. I could write one in PHP, if you have that available on your server. (Or rather, I could steal pyro's and modify it slightly
.)<br />
