Re: a mp/perl equivalent to sendmail.php?
I would suggest looking into the Email set of modules, e.g. Email::Simple. As far as security is concerned, try something like an email address confirmation with user authentication. I think that's the most common approach. For example, require the user confirms their email address as a part of user authentication before they're allowed to email. That will keep spam bots out. If you only have a limited user base, you could skip the email confirmation and just keep a flat file or database records of allowed users. -bop On Jan 28, 2008, at 5:19 PM, Carl Brewer wrote: 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.

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.
