The problem I'm having with ASP is that, in order to execute a command line, I have to
use a server side include, which gets executed before the code in my page, which means
it'll send the mail before I can get the info from the form. I'm sure I can get the
form handled and saved as a file before I call up the imail1.exe, but I'm also having
a little trouble with server side includes. My page doesn't seem to want to execute
the line, it just displays it. Most of my other SSI's work, but not the exec#...
Maybe this is more of an IIS question?
Thanks for the great and timely responses everyone!

Put the form action to your script (duh, OK that's obvious), have your script save the
form contents to a temp text file, then have your script execute imail1.exe with all
the right switches, etc. to pick up the file and send it. I did it in perl, but ASP
would do the same I'm sure. Later I figured out
it was way easier in iHTML which came with my webserver WS Pro from O'Reilly, so I'm
phasing out this imail1.exe method, but it works fine.
Do a search on ipswitch's KB for imail1.exe for the syntax. Sorry I don't have it
handy.
Cheers,
Doug
