Sockets version of formmail??
Is there a version of formmail script that will work under NT using sockets? I dont't have access to sendmail.

You have two options available to you:

1) If you are using and NT Server and have Administrative access, install BLAT or a similar sendmail substitute program on your system if possible.
2) Use "I-Web MailForm" or "SendMail.cgi" that is posted on cgi-resources.com under PERL:Form Processing. It uses the LWP module to open socket connections directly to the SMTP protocol and deliver mail the way sendmail does. Some other programs might be available for NT, but they may cost money.

What about doing it the way links sends mail? That works on my system. but I don't know how to make a formmail program that will work that way.
