Email Module

caseycole589 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to convince my work to use Perl for our email in a web app running on asp.net is this do able or does any one have advice/opinions. How hard is it to get something like this working on a windows server? Any input would be appreciated. I know I could do this easily in c# and probably should, but I'm looking for any excuse to get Perl running on our servers. That way I can have an excuse for using it on more projects moving forward.

I assume you have an email form in html and you want to send mail as CGI-BIN. So first, in javascript, you restrict the "from" email address to not include "bobby@;drop table email", which can be bypassed, and thus, must be untainted again, by say, some save and nice email parsing perl modules (that will validate your email address and do the same thing sendmail/mailx would do, send an email). Both Strawberry Perl and ActiveState Perl allow CPAN. Read more on one of them in this node: Sending Mail trough Perl using ActivePerl on windows	[reply]
