This works for me on Windows:

send_mail($to, $from, $subject, $comments, $username, $userip, $useremail, $userurl, $daten, $timen);

sub send_mail {

use Net::SMTP;

my $relay = &quot;domain.com&quot;;
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($relay)
|| die &quot;Can't open mail connection: $!&quot;;

$smtp->mail($fromemail);
$smtp->to($masteremail);
$smtp->to($useremail);

$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend(&quot;To: $masteremail\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;To: $useremail\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;From: $fromemail\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;Subject: Thank you for visiting domain.com\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;A copy of your comments can be found below\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;======================================\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot; NAME: $username($userip) at $daten($timen)\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot; EMAIL: $useremail\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot; HOME PAGE: $userurl\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot; \n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot; $comments\n&quot;
$smtp->datasend(&quot;======================================\n&quot;

$smtp->dataend();

Here's a perl script to check forms, and send an email in whatever format makes sense. Nice, simple PERL program for processing forms however you want to process them, easy to install.

Download from ftp://ftp.sudval.org/users/sgray/cgi/mailing-cgi-v1.0.tgz -- info from the Linux Software Map at ftp://ftp.sudval.org/users/sgray/cgi/mailing-cgi.lsm

The source is viewable on the web at

http://www.unseelie.org/cgi-src/mailing.txt

The script uses the CGI library, and requires that the script have permission to invoke sendmail, qmail, or some other sendmail-type program.

Please write back if this helps!

Newposter has a good script there for you, but not really sure why s/he decided to go with SMTP. As far as I can recal you can use HTML using sendmail and just a simple mailto form, it all depends on the recipient's mail client as to if they will accept HTML or not.
