If you have any hair, then be prepared to lose half of it as you pull it out.... 1. You need BFormMail - use the current version http://www.infosheet.com/iScripts.html VERY, very important to use the latest version - correct use of this stops the spammers using your server as a mail relay, otherwise your ISP will get very nouty - BFormMail is a window into the sendmail program and can be used to send 1000's of mail messages anywhere if not tied down correctly. 2. Adjust the perl script where shown in the comments in the script (text editor is all that's needed) 3. Upload the bformmail.pl 4. Change the permissions from the default of 644 to 755 (You have to allow the perl script to run!) 5. Make a form in an html page that passes data to the perl script <form method="post" action="BFormMail.pl"> and upload it 6. If you have defined a "thank you" address in the perl script then make that page as well 7. Test it and ask yourself why it no work.... ;-) If you get stuck - ask me off list and I will sort out some of my successful ones to mail to you to compare format.
