I regularly use a nice script, available here http://www.liquidsilver.com/scripts, called Form2Mail. It's intended to provide a generic interface to mail data from a web form.
It had a nice example of using sockets to send mail. This should be portable between OSs as all mail code is done via a socket connection to an SMTP server on port 25.

And apologies to all for what I realize was a too-long post. However, I am still in the dark as to HOW much needs changing. The reference, which I know is wrong for the NT server the script will be moving to, is to a sendmail program, like so: $emailProgram = "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t"; I tried changing this to: $emailProgram = "| /usr/sbin/SMPT -oi -t"; .....just in case this would do it (as I was told I'd have to "genericize" the script to use SMPT), but it didn't. Christopher tells me NT probably doesn't understand the / / way of describing directory structures either. Is there somewhere I can go to find out how different a script needs to be for Windows NT than for a UNIX server? Or how to write to use SMPT instead of sendmail? (I don't know anything about different mail systems). I'm hoping it's no more difficult than finding the right path to SMPT (and then everything will work?) but perhaps "genericize" means much more than that? Many many thanks if anyone can point me in a bit more of the right direction, Rohesia ===== Rohesia Hamilton Metcalfe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
