![]() And just as important, will it support file attachments. I can get the file submitted to the form without a problem. |

![]() Would this sendmail stuff be efficient with a large number of emails sent at once? |
Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA |
![]() Oh, and what happens if I use this to send an email to an inexistant email address? Hopefully nothing, but I'd think that one of those "email could not be found" emails would be sent back, but where would they be sent back *to*? |

![]() Slime, If you plan to send a lot of e-mails, I would suggest you to use SMTP to connect to mail server instead of pipeing output to sendmail. Also, you should not put a lot of e-mail addresses in the *to* field at once, because some mail servers will truncate it and e-mail won't be send to everybody (better method is to send every mail separatively using SMTP connection). Also, regarding bounced e-mail messages - they will be sent back to the address that is specified in the *from* field of the original e-mail, so be praperad to get a lot of shitty e-mails. Specifying bogus e-mail address in the *from* field is not a good idea in this case, because some mail servers will only send mail if the address specified in the *from* field is valid (SPAM protection). |

![]() Heh, yeah, it does have support for mailing lists, but I hate it. I have very little control over the program. |

![]() Can someone please write me a simple cgi that would take from a form and mail it to me? I have looked on the web and fine many of these but they all have way too many fields which I dont need. I just need one that will ask for the users email, subject and comments. It isn't going to be put on a commercial site at all so I cant really aford to pay you. But anyone thats up for it please get ahold of me. |

![]() If all you want is for the info to be mailed to you, just use ACTION="mailto:myaddress@whatever.com" and you don't even need a script. |

![]() Deviant, tkae a look at BNBFORM All-In-One Form Processing Script, it is very simple and gets the job done! |

![]() more importantly is there a sendmail script that works good on ActiveStates Perl for Win32? |

![]() Cool thanks ... I was useing the action="mailto:" but that requires the user to have like outlook express and or netscape email to be configed. So thats why I am looking towards a CGI option. |

![]() I'm revisiting using a direct connection to my smtp server for sending the results of a form can anyone provide me with a link on how to do so? I have an Exchange 2000 server. |
Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Jacks raging bile duct.... |
![]() BTW I'm using activeState Perl |
