I have a client who wants to send email from a flash script (do you
call flash stuff scripts?), and he has asked me to install
sendmail.php for him. I don't want to! Can anyone here recommend a
modperl (or just plain perl) equivalent that I can lock down so it is
less likely to be used as a spam delivery agent?
There are lots of Perl modules for sending email. Search CPAN for
send mail to see your choices:
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=send+mailmode=all
As far as locking them down, how to do that will be
application-specific. When I have done this, generally I have
implemented a simple application on top of a mail sending module which
does the appropriate checks before sending the message.
Looking at the last time I implemented this, I simply invoked
sendmail and piped the message to it, which works too.
Hope this helps,
Scott.
