Send e-mail message from textbox

Hi Experts.

Is it possible to send a message from a textbox in FrontPage 98 if I don't use a Microsoft e-mail software? We use another software at our company.

I have put my e-mail adress in the textbox properties but when I send the message I recive following message.

http://1.0 501 Non supported

I need help to fix this problem.

Yes

You can for example use Perl for sending email.

You have to install Perl and a cpan called sendmail.pm

the Modul comunicates directly via smtp to the email server so it is no problem to choose your favorite email software.

the way is like that

Your HTML Page calls via post the Perl Script and the Script send the request as an email

If you like you can get a sample code and a guide how to install it.

Its like a counter, you just take the html code they give you paste it on your site and edit the form and textboxes whatever you want
you can easily delete the ad. they put under the form and you got yourself a email thingy or whatever.
