CGI-bin and smtp

[Scooby316]

Can anyone tell me what i need installed on my nt4 sp6 server to run a formmail script. I have created a cgi-bin folder and gave it permission to run and execute scripts. Is there anything else i need to install or do to get tis working. The reason i ask is that my form can't see the formmail script.

Cheers

I think you need to install perl.exe and some smtp program like Blat. That's what I had to do to get a cgi script with formmail to work. It has been quite a while since I did it, but there are plenty of resources out there discussing it in more detail.

I looked in to that once also and found it was much easier
to install an email component and submit the form to an asp
file. Probably lots more efficient also.

Search JMail (theres a free version and lots of how to links).
