How can i submit a form via email

[IT_Alex]

I have created a form using Dreamweaver MX and want to submit it via email. Ideally it needs to be a secure script and not launch the users email client.

Can anyone help with this?

What server are you hosted on, ie IIS, Apache?

If you were thinking of using php, which DW MX can help with, you could look through this explanation

It on a server running IIS

Would i be able to use a .asp form? Would it be easier to do it this way?

Sorry, only jsut returned to this topic.

OK if you are on IIS there are a couple of ways you can do it. Firstly are you on your own server where you can install some custom apps or are u hosted with someone. If so they will most prob have something installed you can use.

Try this, it uses the IIS SMTP service that should be installed:

Set objNewMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objNewMail.Send "[e-mail]", _
"[e-mail]", "Message Subject", _
"Stick your body copy here", 0 ' low importance
Set objNewMail = Nothing

If that doesn't work find out from your ISP if they have any software installed that you can use, if it is your own box I use AspEmail (google it) that is free and works pretty well for me
