Troubleshooting Forms

I created a "Contact Us" form using the wizard and I need the results in the
form to be sent to an e-mail address. I have the following settings applied:
_private/formrslt.txt and then I inserted the e-mail address where I want
the results to be sent. After I close the dialog box, I get the following
error, "This form cannot be configured to send results via e-mail. The Web
site may be located at a disk-based location, or on a server that has not
been configured to send e-mail. Contact your system administrator or
Internet service provider for more information." The e-mail address is set
up through yahoo. I'm not sure what I need to do to get this form set up to
send to an e-mail address. Help!

I received a response to ignore the error message since it was only ocurring
on my local machine. I did that and I encounter another problem:

The first form basically registers people for a seminar, the second form is a
contact us form and I want to send that information to an e-mail address. I
contacted my ISP (yahoo) and they indicated that I had to change my
"alternate" e-mail address and then the results would be sent to the e-mail
address that I input.

I published my site and when I test the forms, I get the following message:

FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
Webmaster: please see the server's system log for more details.

I am not sure how I would see the server's system log to find out what is
going on.
 
You have to work with your web host to solve this issue. Your web host must look at the server log
file to see the error.

Thanks, but yahoo doesn't know how to troubleshoot frontpage 2003. So, I
guess I am at a dead end.
 
The problem is on their end, not yours. They control the ability of the FP extensions to process
form data and the sending of any emails.
