Re: Text to html on Birdcast2.cgi In reply to
Actually this is a self sufficient mailing program within it self. Below is the whole script for birdcast.cgi that I currently have on my site.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Socket;
require "/home/webbus/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg";
require "$db_script_path/links.def";
require "$db_script_path/db_utils.pl";

# CONFIGURATION NOTES

#
# $SCRIPT_NAME is the full URL of this script, including the
# http part, ie, "http://domainname.com/cgi-bin/birdcast.cgi";
#
# $SITE_NAME is the "name" of your web site.
# $SITE_URL is the URL of your site (highest level)
# $END_LINE is the very last line printed in the e-mail.
#
# $MAXNUM is the number of possible people a person can refer
# your URL to at one time. If you call the script using the
# GET method, then this is also the number of entry blanks
# created for recipient names and addresses.
#
# $SMTP_SERVER is the name of your e-mail gateway server, or
# SMTP host. On most systems, "localhost" will work just fine.
# If not, change "localhost" to whatever your ISP's SMTP
# server name is, ie, smtp.isp.net or mail.isp.net

# $SEND_MAIL is the full path to your server's sendmail program
# If you do not wish to use Sockets for some reason and need
# to use sendmail, uncomment the $SEND_MAIL line and comment
# the $SMTP_SERVER line.

# okaydomains is a list of domains from which you want to allow
# the script to be called from. Leave it commented to leave the
# script unrestricted. If you choose to use it, be sure to list
# your site URL with and without the www.

# Use either $SMTP_SERVER
# $SMTP_SERVER="localhost";
#
# OR
#
$SEND_MAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
$book_header = "link.txt";
$book_footer = "message.txt";

#
# BUT NEVER BOTH!!!!!!
