Email form 'queuing' solution
Hi All,
I'm looking for a web development suggestion!
How would you suggest I go about creating the following:
I have a form on a web page that is emailed to 3 different recipients. When the form is submitted, only recipient A should receive the submission. The next submission should go to recipient B and the next to Recipient C and then back to recipient A and so on.
Any idea on a good way to achieve this?
Regards,
Jeff

A few thoughts, without any claim to any being practical 
...
1. If the same person submits the form each time, then you could set a cookie on that persons PC.
2. If the page is not hosted on a server then include a call to an external hit counter each time the page is submitted. To determine the email address for each submission, read the submission count divide by three and use the remainder to determine which of the three recipients you want.
3. Use one of several server based solutions to remember which recipient receive the last submission email.
4. If the requirement is to get approximately one third of the submissions to got to each recipient then do something like send all morning submissions to one recipient, all afternoon recipients to the second recipient and all evening submissions to the third recipient. If the balance isn't even between the recipients then adjust the above time bands accordingly.
