Make sure you have the hidden field as follows in your form and it should be
fine:
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="login">

Half the time we were getting "no document" errors and the rest we were
getting
another kind of HTTP error. So then we threw a multipart/enctype in the
form
tag and it went through to the Imail server but only returned their login
screen. It was not until we renamed the sending asp script as login.cgi
that
the login screen was bypassed. At first I assumed the cgi script was
looking
for the referrer to be login.cgi but as I have seen from your posts it
obviously
is not the case. I'm even more confused now. Fortunately it works the way
it
is.
