Re: Formmail help

Hi Sander, I'm not familiar with Exchange but if it speaks SMTP, you should be able to use a module such as Mail::Sendmail or the newer Email::Send module to talk to it. What formmail script are you using to process your forms? I'd recommend the nms scripts[1]. HTH, William [1] http://nms-cgi.s
