Does anyone have a PERL formmail script that can send mail out via ASPMail?

I am on a Windows server that will only send mail out via ASPMail from programs and I have a forum that I would like to use on the site but the only issue is the email verification within the forum. It normally uses sendmail. The forum designer is willing to do a workaround so that the forum can be used on the Windows server but needs a perl formmail script that could use ASPMail to send out mail.
 
Have a look at blat.exe, or even softmail as a budget workaround

If it were my server, I would but the host will only use ASPMail.

That is why I am looking for a perl formmail script that will send mail via ASPMail.
 
Bummer! Here is what I would do. I would look at this page :


Scroll down to 'Generic Form handling'.

Now, create this ASP page on the site that does what they tell you to.

Now have the forum software post to that page internally rather then go directly to sendmail.

This is a server side component so the chances of you accessing the SMTP methods directly are zero to none. You'll need to access them via an ASP page.
