What is it that you don't like about CGI::Application::Mailform. Have you looked at MIME::Lite or Net::SMTP, which make it pretty darn easy to send a message? If they're not what you need, tell us why and maybe someone can make a better suggestion. I've used MIME::Lite happily in the past. No matter what package you use you'll want to do a good job vetting the information that's submitted before you use it to send mail, lest you end up an unwitting spam relay. g. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/cgiapp@lists.erlbaum.net/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
