I've read through a number of threads here on cgi and php with respects to form processing. I've not been able to get any of the php form scripts to work. I keep getting 'sorry your mail did not go through, due to some problem with php server'. I tried to use the cgimail that is pre installed, but when I download it in ASCII format, it looks like gibberish, as it does when I download it in binary. I also was unable to get the ultimate mail thingy to run, it kept giving me 500 errors. I finally tried <a href="http://noviceforms.com/" target="_blank">Novice Mail</a>. I thought I had hit paydirt, as once I had configured the script for smtp and pointed towards mail.xxxxx.xxx, the script appeared to run. It returned my success page url. However, the mail does not go through. Any suggestions?<!--content-->
Mr. Coot,<br /><br />Welcome to the forums. I have not used that script before so I am not sure. Hang tight and see if someone has had experience with it.<!--content-->

Having had a quick look, I would set it to use the sendmail option, and the following location for the sendmail.<br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->    $useLib = "sendmail";<br /><br />    $mailprog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; ## $mailprog Is the path to sendmail on your server ##<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--content-->
