Using the Server Form Mail Script

Server Form Mail Script

 The script is already stored on the system and added as an alias to apache. This means that it is accessible from http://www.yourdomain.ext/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi (watch out for those caps) (Replace yourdomain.ext with your domain name and proper extension .com, .net, etc.)

Beyond this point, all you need to do is write a form that submits the information to the URL above.

Here is a sample Form. Just remember to edit the (values) to your own.

<form method=\"POST\" action=\"http://(your_domain.com)/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi\">
 <p> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"recipient\" size=\"20\" value=\"(your_email_address)\"></p>
<p><u>Return-Email: <input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" size=\"20\"></u></p>
<p><u>Subject: <input type=\"text\" name=\"subject\" size=\"20\"></u></p>
<p><u>Real Name: <input type=\"text\" name=\"realname\" size=\"20\"></u></p>
<p><textarea rows=\"9\" name=\"message\" cols=\"94\"></textarea></p>
 <p><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\"><input type=\"reset\" value=\"Reset\" name=\"B2\"></p>
</form>

Microsoft is no longer updating FrontPage™ but has replaced it with Expression Web™. One function that a lot of people liked about FrontPage™ was the ability to easily build forms. An alternative is to use a PHP script like  James Huggins' script.

This script allows you to build forms that are simple to complex. The documentation rivals even the best documentation commercial scripts provide. There is a sample script included in the package and James is a great guy for support issues.
