Sorry m8y, don't quite understand what you mean :confused:

lo m8

the host for you m8s site will have some kind of email component installed, or have a cgi/perl script that handles emails. the form that you are referring to is the way the contents of the email are created.

fir instance, on the form, if you had a SUBJECT box, youd fill this in wif saaaing. when you submitted the form the value of the SUBJECT field, ie what you type in would get passed to the email component or the cgi/perl script. this script would then (using its processes) integrate the SUBJECT text you typed into a proper mail. it would do this ofr all the fields you filled out.

finally it sends the mail as you would from Outlook or whatever !!

it is most likely to be a cgi/perl script, but my site has an ASP component that does it for me, but the same principle applies

hope this helps ya, if you got any more questions just ask.

If you have access to a unix platform shell then you can
telnet to port 25 which is normally the mail daemon
You can then feed it the From, to, subject, body etc
So you can have a from of Bill.Gates@Windoze.com etc :)

I remember doing this trick 10 yrs ago... and it still works
Ahh..memories ;)
