Danny you can agree, disagree, or argue all you want. I just think you should try it before you condemn it without knowing what it does.
The original post asked "I would like to get recommendations for an alternative, easy-to-configure 'form-to-mail' " in my mind there is nothing easier then using something that has been built into sambar since day one, is secure, fast, and very easy to use. You you I have a pile of domains most use their own email server all have a form for users to contact the site and all use the RCX sendmail. RCXsendmail works with sambar mail, without sambar mail, and either with the MTA on or off. The settings in the config.ini are only used IF sambar is not acting as a mail server. The fact that you don't need an outside potentially insecure process like perl or php to run it is another big advantage. If you are at all like me you don't really like your clients to have access to programs that can delete your disks. No it will not work with Yabaa or any of those boards but that is not its purpose. If you dig into any of Tod's webmail or mail forms (stm or asp) you will see that it is what is used to process all outgoing mail and replies whether you use qualified or unqualified accounts.
