I am uploading a pre-built website, which has a form and a perl script to email the fields to the webmaster via sendmail. here's a snippet: open (MAIL,"|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -n -oi") || die "there was a problem with the call to sendmail"; print MAIL "To: $tomail\n"; print MAIL "From: $in{'name'} <$in{'email'}>\n"; print MAIL "Reply-To: $in{'Email'}\n"; .....etc. So, I know the Bill Gates world doesn't have sendmail, so how do I send my forms' data? If the answer is long and painful, I welcome links to good information. Many thanks! -Jerry
Ok, I'm trying to answer my question on my own....Looks like I want to use the ASPmail component. I've seen the code snippets from this site's kbase..but it doesn't show how to use it: -as the "POST" action on a form -showing the form's fields being referenced in the email. If any of you have done a form that generates an email, and could throw me a snippet of code, I'd be very grateful. Again, many thanks for any opinions you can offer! -jerry
I think this'll do it, it's pretty close to what I've used before. When you post to a new page: <form name="mail" method="post" action="newpage.asp"> Newpage.asp: <html> <% Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") Mailer.FromName = "FROMNAME" Mailer.FromAddress= "[email protected]" Mailer.RemoteHost = "localhost" Mailer.AddRecipient "Someone", "[email protected]" Mailer.Subject = request.form("subject") Mailer.BodyText = request.form("body") if Mailer.SendMail then Response.Write "Mail sent..." else Response.Write "Mail send failure. Error was " & Mailer.Response end if %> </body> </html>
