I use 68 classifieds for my real estate and I want to give visitors the opportunity to send an email to all structures within a sub-category, how can I do this?

My first thought is this is a bad idea because you are giving spammers a one stop shop to spam all the ad holders in in a single category in one fell swoop.

In order to accomplish something like this you would probably have to create a new contact script that checks the current cat, query the DB and gathers all the ad ID's and associated ad posters and then use their e-mail addresses as recipients for the form.

There may be a couple hurdles as well depending on your host and if they have any anti-spam elements in place.

You're right, I use 68 classifieds site for hotels, to send the reservation to all hotels in a province. To not have problems with spam, you can use Image Security.
