Oooh, Paul!

Hmn ... well I thought I need a mail server since those things are what
normally sends mail to an e-mail address.  And thus far I only thought
of being able to set up an e-mail address such as
info@virtualhost-domain.com and test a form on one of those pages to
send data to that e-mail address ... and I figured I need a mailserver
to process that data to be "received" by that address.   But, you are
right ... I really would probabyl already be fine if I could see that
the script has "sent" the data in form of an e-mail text etc ... be it
to an actual e-mail address account or re-directed to some text file
...

interesting "solution" ... :-)  thanks for the tip ...
