Three things need to happen...
One:
Set up imailcgi.
(from <WinNT root>\system32)
-imailcgi -install <valid dns name (or IP) of your mail server> <valid
e-mail address on same server>
ex.
copy imailcgi.exe c:\WinNT\system32\
cd \WinNT\system32
imailcgi -install mail.domain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I mention this because whilst some may have the "top level domain" pointing
to the mail server others may not. If "domain.com" points to your web
server and "mail.domain.com" points to your mail server then you must use
mail.domain.com not just domain.com
Two:
Set up the program directory on your web server.
this varies from web server to web server but will usually need ".pl"
associated with the perl.exe from the active perl kit. (Sort of like
associating ".doc" with MS Word so that it opens when you execute/open the
.doc)
Three:
Determine the names of your lists to be serviced (exactly as they are set up
on your IMAIL system) and replace the list names in the HTML with your list
names. Replace the list server mailing address with yours
([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Test!
