OK, long story short.
Two form mail pages. Both using the same script. Both send to same email address. that email address forwards to another email address, Only one will actually get to its final destination. If, however, you tell it to forward to two email adresses, one will go to one, and one the other. Always the same ones, but neither to both.
WTF is going on, and let me know if you need more info.
 
Is the mail server playing a role? Could it be that the mail server is seeing two emails going to the smae place from the same place at the same time, and treating one as spam?

Just guessing.

 
I don't think so.

See, both form mail pages use the same formmail cgi thingy. Both pages have the same email recipient as well, mailbox A.
mailbox A is set to forward EVERYTHING it getas to mailbox B and mailbox C.
However, in the case of these two pages, info from Form Mail #1 only gets forwarded to mailbox B, while ionfo from Form Mail #2 only gets forwarded to mailbox C.

So whats going on here?
from Form Mail #1
Code: 
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://xxxxx.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
    <input type=hidden name="recipient" value="anna@xxxxx.com">
    <input type=hidden name="subject" value="Marketing Lists Blast">
    <input type=hidden name="required" value="name,email">
    <input type=hidden name="print_blank_fields" value="1">
    <input type=hidden name="return_link_url" value="http://xxxxx.com/">
	<input type=hidden name="return_link_title" value="Back to Main Page">

From Mail #2
Code: 
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://xxxxx.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
  	<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="anna@xxxxx.com">
    <input type=hidden name="subject" value="subscribe or unsubscribe">
	<input type=hidden name="required" value="fname,lname,interest,email1">
	<input type=hidden name="sort" value="fname,lname,email1,status,interest,mailer,status2,mailing,comments">
	<input type=hidden name="print_blank_fields" value="1">
	<input type=hidden name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT">
	<input type=hidden name="return_link_url" value="http://xxxxx.com/">
	<input type=hidden name="return_link_title" value="Back to Main Page">
 
So then it sounds like the problem isn't with your code, but possibly with your email client?

 
Yes, I sort of figured that. I wanted to make sure i wasn't missing something obvious in teh formmail pages or the cgi script first, though.
Thanks.
 
No prob. I don't see what if could be other than client side. Have fun with that problem though. :D
