Howdy Drupal Community,

I have done a couple hours of research on this problem and have not found something that meets all my needs and I hoping that someone else here has worked through this and built some kind of recipe that bridges the gaps here.

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.

Webform is the perfect solution because it separates users from email addresses, tracks form uses and throttles form submissions from registered and anonymous users. The problem with webform is as best as I can tell I would need to keep an author list in webform to email a specific author with it or pass the email in plain text through the URL. If there is a way to pass the UID and then send an email via the UID that would be the perfect solution.

Any suggestions of how to approach this are very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
