A way for non-members to contact members?

Hi, I'm looking to add the ability for non-members to email a member. I currently set up a link on the profile page for non-members to quickly join and then contact a member, but I'd like to have the option to let non-members email a member. Maybe there's a way to tie into the compose.php with the non-member entering their name and email address.

If there's a mod available, or if someone thinks they can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

Would you be able to do that by editing the Non-member Actions (Admin - Membership Levels) allowing emals?

Unfortunately this feature does not work as it should. I have the opposite problem. I don't want people to be able to use the site contact/mail feature unless they are a paid/upgraded member. Despite the fact that I have the contact disallowed for standard members, if a paid member contacts the standard member first, the standard member can use the contact system with no restrictions regardless of the admin settings.

Allowing guests to send email to any member is a BIG mistake. Your giving guests an easy way to spam your members, and if your members find out you allow that, you will lose them. Crazy to have something like that in your privacy policy.


So it would basically be like adding something like this to your privacy policy page.

Hello. We at suchandsuch.com do not take your privacy seriously. In fact we let anyone send whatever email they want to you. We don't care.

You should seriously reconsider that.

Great point Deano.

Any ideas on how to prevent standard members from being able to recieve and then respond to messages from full/paid members?

As written by deano, do not give permission to send messages without member login.
