Have you thought about using comments combined with subscriptions or notifications for this purpose?  That might give your authors more control about how/when they received such emails?

The problem with the contact form module  (http://drupal.org/project/contact_forms) that I think you are talking about is that you have to configure it separately. It would be very helpful if this could be done only with a CCK field having an email.

 

Thanks,

Steve

I have a site that will have about 200 people (authors and the like) that can be contacted through the site. Some people may find the information on the site controversial so we want to make sure that we are not putting author information out on the web without any filters. I want to make sure that anonymous users can send email to the authors without giving the authors email and ideally being able to track the use of the form and throttle its use to prevent SPAMing.

 

Hi, I think that the contact module is the best for your situation.
