I tried this approach already but didn't get good results. The PHP return "success", but the eMail never get's sent. Any thoughts? Here's what I did: on doEMail put field "mailTo" into mTo put field "mailFrom" into mFrom put URLEncode(field "mailSubject") into mSub put URLEncode(field "mailMessage") into mMess put "http://www.myserver.com/mytest.php?from="; & mFrom & "&subject=" & mSub & "&message=" & mMess & "&toAdd=" & mTo into completeUrl get url completeUrl if it <> "success" then doError end if end doEMail --the php script on the server looks like this: <?php $email = $_GET['from']; $subject = $_GET['subject']; $message = $_GET['message']; $toAddress = $_GET['toAdd']; mail($toAddress,$subject,$message,"From: $email" ); echo "success"; ?> -Dan > Hi Dan, > > Obviously, you don't want to use Gmail.
