in thread sending email from checkbox with SMTP address associated in an HTML form

Ok. Basically in your html code you created checkbox groups. Checkbox groups all have the same name but use different values. i.e.

<input type="checkbox" name="m_EmailGroups" value="User1"> <input type="checkbox" name="m_EmailGroups" value="User2"> <input type="checkbox" name="m_EmailGroups" value="User3">

If you check the first and second ones, they will be submitted as m_EmailGroups=User1&m_EmailGroups=User2. When we call $query->param("m_EmailGroups") in a list context, you get (User1,User2). The my @addresses ... line takes this list, wipes out all values that aren't keys of the %option_to_address hash, gathers the values for those keys and places them in the @addresses array. For the setup the email stuff here comment, I'm leaving that as a task for you to do. Just read up on Net::SMTP, specifically the recipient method.

Hope this helps.

    I read the Net::SMTP and added this to the perl Scipt....for some reason I get..
    "Can't call method "recipient" on an undefined value at C:\cgi-bin\mail_form.pl line 75."

    $smtp->recipient("To: @addresses\n");
