EMail Setup
Sorry for the flurry of posts -trying to work on one issue while I wait for answers on the others.

I want to set up the email setting for the email notification. I see the following lines in the links.cfg file need to be modified.

- Set one of either:
$db_mail_path = ''; $db_smtp_server = '';
If you are on NT, set $db_smtp_server to your SMTP server. If you are on UNIX,
set $db_mail_path to your sendmail program.
- Set the email address for who all emails will come from:
$db_admin_email = '';

The script lives on an NT server with IIS. The mail is handled through a separate Unix box. I need to request the path from tech support but I'm guessing a physical path won't do it since it points to a different server. Can the mail be sent to an URL instead? I know that I can use the ASP CDONTS component to send mail which is what I am using on my sites feedback form. If I can't set the path then maybe I can send the information from this Perl script to a simple ASP script so that I can use CDONTS?

If this is really stupid cut me some slack. I'm greener than brocolli right now. ;-)
