MSN Users Form Results Never Received

I had someone write some ASP and Javascript for our nonprofit Web site. It uses CDO to send the form results, and puts the in users email address [as the return address] using [in part]:

‘objCDOSYSMail.From = Request(“email”)’

The JS that validates is [in full]:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
function emailCheck(fld)
{
// first, trim the email text:
var email = fld.value.replace(/^{^s+/,””).replace(/s+$/,””);}

var re = /^([a-z][w-‘=]+.)*[a-z][w-‘=]+@([a-z][w-‘=]+.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/i
if ( ! re.test( email ) )
{
alert(“Please enter a valid email address”);
fld.focus( );
return false;
}
return true;

}
function checkPwd(fld)
{
var pwd = fld.value.replace(/^{^s+/,””).replace(/s+$/,””);}
if ( pwd == “” )
{
alert(“You did not type the characters into the security box.”);
fld.focus( );
return false;
}
return true;
}
function validate(frm)
{
if ( ! emailCheck( frm.email ) ) return false;

if ( ! checkPwd( frm.pwd ) ) return false;

// other validation
return true;

}
</SCRIPT>

And the form field is [in part]:

<td><form name=”newsletter” method=”post” action=”newsletter.asp” onSubmit=”return validate(this);”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”_FROM_PAGE” value=”newsletter.asp”>
<table width=”100%” cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″>
<tr>
<td><table width=”100%” cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=”585″><div align=”left”><span class=”style10″> Please provide your email address:</span>&nbsp;
<input name=”email” value=”<%=Trim(“” & Request(“email”))%>” size=40>

It all works fine except I don’t receive any results from MSN or Hotmail users [at least those are the 2 I’m aware of]. I’ve removed this line:

var re = /^([a-z][w-‘=]+.)*[a-z][w-‘=]+@([a-z][w-‘=]+.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/i
if ( ! re.test( email ) )

And, it works. I also know that I can change the CDO to use myaddress as the ‘from’ address, but I’d really like to see who the email is from before I open it. Can someone please help by telling me if I can have it validate and put the users email address in and how?
