what do I need to look at in order to create an email forwarding program/script on my server? |

You should be able to accomplish what you want with procmail |

For a more full-featured solution, try a full-scale mailing list such as Mailman. I recently went through a good deal of effort to get such a list set up myself, so I'd be glad to share my discoveries if you go that route and encounter trouble. |

Wow this is getting a bit heavy for me, I have around three uses for a mail sending function on my site but it seems that to get the most useful code I would need to script it myself, maybe I'll work on that as my first php project. |

Well, I hate to say it, but if you want the functions you just described, with an absolute minimum of fuss and muss, just sign up for a web-based email system such as Microsoft's Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. They'll all allow you to send email via the web, attach images to it, and send email to everyone on a decent-sized recipient list. I know Hotmail lets you check your POP3 accounts through the Hotmail interface -- I wouldn't be surprised if Yahoo Mail did the same thing. |

hotmail has the 2mb box limit (1mb max email size), not good for multiple files of 10mb. Why do I have such large emails? because people send me whole assortments of images and video projects. I guess I'll just read up on whatever I can find. |

If you've got access to set things up on your own server, there are definitely plenty of web-based email programs out there that you can install. Perhaps one of those would be up your alley? I don't know any of 'em offhand, and you can Google just as well as I can, of course. |

If you have ASP, set for javascript, this code is pretty straightforward, using CDONTS. |
