Formmail and Windows SMTP

[Orlando Gondar]

I dont know where to put this question, but since I am using Frontpage I
hope someone
can help me here.

I trying to do like my hosting company, here on my "localhost"

On my hosting company my forms uses "Formmail" to mail the results of a
form.

I was trying to do something like that, so I can test here on my local host
first.

However, as far as I can see, Formmail needs the address of sendmail.

And sendmail works only on unix, so my quation, is there a equivalent of
sendmail for windows that
let me use the Formmail script on my localhost ?

Suprise me, that the makers of a so popular script ( Formmail ) do not have
a version
that works with Windows SMTP Server.

Thanks

For Windows you would have to install CGI-Perl engine, under Windows you would use CDONT or CDOSYS
to process mail.

For help with setting CGI-Perl up visit the Windows newsgroup or CGI-Perl resource site.

However chance are that you will not be able to process email locally, even if you install CGI-Perl,
CDONTS, etc. since most ISP block sending of email when not logged in from a Email Client
application.
