Web Page e-mail Feedback

[porto99]

For my first Wed Site I think I will opt for 3rd party hosting.

But my question is about the e-mail sent to me from the 'Contact Us' page on the wed site. I have been looking at JMain then CDO for sending me feedback. But what mail server do you use. Or will that be part of the functions offered by the company hosting my site.

I did try and test my site on a WIndows 2000 PC via IIS, but this PC is on my LAN and I use hotmail for emails, so dont know what to use for the mail server

Are they any guides out there (I failed to find any).

Many thanks,

porto

formmail is one of the most popular CGI email systems employed by websites. You can download it for free here -

Its quite straight forward to configure. Its mainly used on unix or linux web servers but i've used it on win2k with pearl installed. I found it easier to use than jmail.
