Guest Anthony Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: mail question Mike, There are different ways to do it, but they come down to your web code constructing a mail message and sending it to a willing smtp server. Many hosting ISP's anticipate this and should tell you how to do it. You need a cgi, php or whatever script to generate the mail. When you send it to an smtp server, the problem you have to overcome is that they won't allow an anonymous connection. If your script allows you to specify a username and password, then it can authenticate to the smtp server to send the mail. This can be your own smtp server in your LAN. Or it can be the ISP's mail server. You just specify the mail server by name or IP. Hope that helps, Anthony, http://www.airdesk.com .. You need the code in your web site to send mail. Then it can either send it to the smtp server run by the ISP (they should be able to tell you about this) or to your smtp.
