Hi all
I wonder if somebody would be kind enough to help me.
I have found and downloaded the MAILTO (v1.6) program from the Xitami
website and am having no small amount of trouble using it as a CGI app. I
have pasted the contents of the CFG file and the HTML FORM code that I am
utilising. I wonder if somebody could please tell me if there is anything
wrong in either. I have read and re-read the readme txt file but to no
avail. I fear I must be missing something. I have included more details
below:
When trying to run MAILTO as a CGI app and utilise it from within the FORM
action field on my HTML pages it simply displays its command line arguments
text output, within the HTML target frame. No mail gets sent. It seems it is
being successfully accessed as a CGI app but instead of sending mail it just
throws back the command line arguments instead.
The spec and environment:
Windows 9x/ME based (version shouldn’t matter should it?)
ActiveState ActivePERL v5.6.1.269
Xitami Web Server v2.5b2
I can supply on an individual basis the a text file with the CGI environment
variables to anyone that can promise to help.
This is my last hope, I really need this to work. Thank you in advance for
you help. I have tried emailing the author but the email address distributed
with the zip file is no longer valid.
In addition, is there any way to get MAILTO to redirect the browser to a
specific web page/URL after successful form submission (rather than have the
entire page code included in the CFG file)?
In case anybody is wondering I can’t use FormMail as it requires a SENDMAIL
program which isn’t present on my OS (I only seem able to find it on NT/2000
or UNIX).
Failing the above is there any free, publicly available formmail / mailto
program out there on the web that anyone knows about? I cannot use the ones
provided by my ISP as they will not alter the referrers section of their
formmail script to include me.
