SMTP / E-mail Form

[Rokatesh]

I'm attempting to use a FormMail.pl and because I'm on a Windows server, the program's file states this:
---------------------------------------------------------
If your web server lacks a sendmail binary, you can
use an SMTP relay instead, by setting $mailprog like
this:

$mailprog = 'SMTP:mailhost.your.domain';

You will need to replace mailhost.your.domain with
the name or IP address of an SMTP server configured
to relay mail for the web server.
--------------------------------------------------------

So, my question is this... if my domain name is www.soonerbandb.com, shouldn't I use:

$mailprog = 'SMTP:mail.soonerbandb.com';


Or am I missing something? Everything seems to be working - but I'm not receiving any emails from the form.

Try this:

$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t';

That sendmail line won't work. Perl is not super reliable when using as mailform from windows, in my experience.

Oh ok, I never installed a formmail.pl on windows, I always use unix. I thought it would work on both platforms.

use: formmail.asp from brainjar.com


alternative to formmail.pl

Yep - that's what I ended up doing - was using asp.
