My application is a form information forwarding script that worked fine on the old server, using SENDMAIL.

Now, the server has been replaced with a NT server and SENDMAIL is not supported.

Does anyone know of a replacement for SENDMAIL in the NT world ??

Thak you very nuch in advance.
 
Hi ccdi72,
On an NT server the mail program is called blat.exe. You should be able to use "Search" and find more info on the web about it. Your problem will be using a script that can call Blat because the format for using it is different from sendmail. Some hosing services will also provide a program called mailto.exe that is in their /scripts/ directory which should be mapped to yours. You would post to it from your form instead of "formmail.cgi" or whatever form to mail script you were using. Ask your hosting provider if they have mailto.exe and if they do there should be instructions on how to use it on their support pages. Good luck.
 
Thanks, RhythmAce

I'll sure give a try to your suggestions.

I'll start looking up for blat.exe and mailto.exe.


Thanks again.
