Prince99 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello fellow Monks,
I have a question and I need your help. We have 4 different servers at work and our mail system only runs on one of them. For the Intranet pages I am developing, they would like a suggestion page where all the suggestions get e-mailed to the head of HR. The web server doesn't run on the mail server. Therefore I have the choice of setting up mail on the web server or using my script to login to the mail server and then send the mail. I don't have a problem logging on to the other server, but I have know idea how to set it up to automatically e-mail. I would just use a Mailto: link in my html code, but we use ?PINE? for mail because we were getting to many virus's with other e-mail programs like Outlook Express. Has anyone dealt with a similiar problem. Any help on what to do or where to look would be appreciated. Sorry no real code examples, but like I said I have no idea where to start on the mail part.
