Are you running under Windows or Linux? If Windows, check out Mercury http://www.pmail.com/whatsnew/m32401.htm for a very robust mail server software package. - IMAP - SMTP - POP - SSL/TLS - Mailing Lists - Spam filtering Very configurable, and free to boot. Once you've got that installed and running (I would seriously suggest doing some googling for locking it down with regards to open relay), then you can create a simple form to mail using localhost as the SMTP server. If you use PHP, just configure the PHP.ini to enable the mail functionality for localhost. As an example, here's a simple mail script for PHP (just a clip of the mail part). ************ $email_to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $subject = "Thanks for Registering!"; $message = "Thank you for registering. You can now access the site with your username and password. Bye for now!"; mail($email_to, $subject, $message, "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"); ************* Pretty simple. Just throw some form elements in there and use those as variables in your e-mail and you're done. If you have access to an SMTP server that will allow you to authenticate to send e-mail, you can do that too. -- Cheers, Leif Gregory TB Lists Moderator (and fellow registered end-user) PCWize Editor / ICQ 216395 / PGP Key ID 0x7CD4926F Web Site <http://www.PCWize.com> ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe please go to http://www.sambar.ch/list/
