The cgi program has to have a web page interface. xmlhttp can be usedto fill out and execute a web page. You need to test  itseparately, then add the xmlhttp method to send_mail.asp as an optionfor wwf mail components.

SFAIK however, a formmail cgi is still going to need port 25 smtp services available.

dypers,

Can you elaborate?  Where can I find this, I'm guessing that its a server component?  And what kind of changes do I need to make in WWF to get it working?

Much thanks,
HaleWilson

Borg,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I don't know much about servers but my server admin he says that SMTP has been disabled...security issue of some sort?  My understanding is that without a SMTP server available none of the Microsoft email components or others that require SMTP services will function. 

At this point it seems I first have to figure whether a ASP page can post to a perl page...heh, I don't even know what I'm talking about! Cry

But thanks again.

I can't find anything that would help with this.

But as CDONTS is part of the Windows NT4/2000 and CDOSYS is part of theWindows 2000/2003 operating systems, unless your host has removed theseparts of the OS you should have these components available to you.

I'm not entirely sure as it has been many years since I last came acrossany CGI, but I don't think what you ask would be possible.

Maybe a search on google to see if ASP can talk to a CGI mail script would shed some light on this.

Hello All,
My host doesn't support any of the email component options listed in WWF, no CDONTS, no CDOSYS, no ASPemail, no nuthin.  The only thing my host supports is FormMail.pl (cgi-bin)!!

Changing hosts (.mil) is NOT an option, SMTP is not allowed as well! Cry

Is it possible to integrate FormMail.pl into WWF?  If so, how?  I do not require an elaborate email function, I just need the forum to notify users (via email) when their posts has been responded to. 
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Much regards
