Formmail Or Form Mail http://mydomainname.com/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi

[BuffaloHelp 24]

Hello everyone,

 

I would like some guide on formmail (or form mail) when submitting via HTML.

 

When I tried to use http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, where "mydomainname.com" is my domain name I get an error saying:

 

Sorry I can't send to test999@hotmail.com. Is test999@hotmail.com on this server ?

 

Part of my script calls for

<span style='color:blue'><form action="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ name="myform" onSubmit="return validateForm(this)"></span>

 

Above is the exact line from my coding. Am I missing something? Would I need to insert "method="POST" as well? In the past trial, the error message was POST not allowed in this server.

 

Furthermore, where could I find more about the variables associated with FormMail.cgi? I would like to make sure that I am using correct variables and not making my own.

 

Thank you in advance

I forgot to include:

 

<input type=hidden name=recipient value="test999@hotmail.com">

<input type=hidden name=subject value="** Application Form **">

 

This is right underneath my <form...> statement.

TRAP17 is AWESOME!!

 

But, before I go on and start celebrating with a bottle of wine I picked up from France, does Xisto allow form mailing via the server?

 

I have noticed that some hostings would not let users use this feature fearing that it will lead to mass mailing application (just another way to send spam witout getting caught/costing money). If it's alright to send form to myself from my site, i.e. feedback, contacts, questions, and data capture, I'd like to write a detailed step by step on how-to's with formmail.

 

I wasn't sure if this forum already had this how-to's but I couldn't find one. Unless, it was deleted to protect the reputation of Xisto?

 

Anyway, hoo ray!
