Mark, yes, sendmail can be called from a cgi with a simple shell() call. You can use RocketsSendmail library to make it even easier. This allows you to customize the email and code your own solution. For example in our Hinduism Today Digital Edition (http://www.hinduismtoday.com/digital ) we use RocketsSendmail to send a verification email to the newly created accounts, upon following a link on those emails, the account is verified, this is a common pattern used by many web applications which can't be easily reproduced with cgiemail.
RocketsSendmail has only one function, that function is analogous to RevMail but uses sendmail or mail (depending on the platform) to send the email. With Sendmail you're in control, you have the freedom to assemble the emails anyway you want and even do processing on them first. With cgiemail all you can do is forward forms... cgiemail may be easier to forward forms, but that will just get you more trouble in the long run for you're pushing your workflow to deal with the form later. with sendmail you can do work earlier in the workflow and send more meaningful emails. my two brazilian real cents which are worth near nothing but are the prettiest money in the world (Except for old maltese liri which were gorgeous) Andre On 2/25/08, Mark Schonewille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't drink beer, so you can have it :-p Just a question, do you > think that sendmail easier than cgiemail? > > > Best regards, > > Mark Schonewille > > -- > > Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering > http://economy-x-talk.com > http://www.salery.biz > > Convert colours between different colour spaces with Color Converter. > Download at http://economy-x-talk.com/cc.html > > > > > Op 25 feb 2008, om 17:48 heeft Andre Garzia het volgende geschreven: > > > > I still think the best option is Sendmail.
