Hello all,

I need your help.

I made this simple script for use with html forms.


 #!/usr/bin/perl


use Net::SMTP;
use CGI qw(:standard);



#---------------Configuration section----------------#

$to="info\@domainname";

#---------------Configuration section ends-----------#




#--------------Initialization section----------------#

$name=param("name");
$surname=param("surname");
$subject=param("subject");
$comments=param("comments");
$company=param("company");
$phone=param("phone");
$fax=param("fax");
$email=param("email");;

#--------------Initialization section ends-----------#




###### required fields check

$check=1;

if (!$name) {$check="0";}
elsif (!$surname) {$check="0";}
elsif (!subject) {$check="0";}
elsif (!email) {$check="0";}
else
{

###### required fields check ends here


$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('localhost');
$smtp->mail("Mail from Website");
$smtp->to("$to");

$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("FROM: Mail from Website\n");
$smtp->datasend("TO: $to\n");
$smtp->datasend("SUBJECT: $subject\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");

$smtp->datasend("NAME:     $name\n");
$smtp->datasend("SURNAME:  $surname\n");
$smtp->datasend("SUBJECT:  $subject\n");
$smtp->datasend("COMMENTS:\n\n$comments\n\n");
$smtp->datasend("COMPANY:  $company\n");
$smtp->datasend("PHONE:    $phone\n");
$smtp->datasend("FAX:      $fax\n");
$smtp->datasend("E-MAIL:   $email\n");

$smtp->dataend(); 

$smtp->quit;

}



if ($check=="0") {

print "Content-type: text/html;", "\n\n";

print << 'ERRORMSG';

When required fields are not filled response comes in a few seconds. But if everything is ok and mail is going to be sent response comes after 2 or more minutes.

Does anybody know where is my mistake ?

Thanks
