If the expected recipients are entrenched in asp.net and unwilling to accommodate Perl/CGI on their web servers, there's not much you can do about that -- they are basically saying "we don't want your app", and it's not your problem.

If you only knew half of it you would cry or laugh like a baby. I know I do. Being employeed by one of the most well known colleges in the USA; does have its pros and cons. Politics being a con. My satilite campus is the bastard child/black sheep. When the VP of IS mandates from on high you just try to do your job and wait for him to steam roll the road blocks.

until then I will attempt to get a windows server box up and figure out how to authenticate off the active directory.

thanks brian this is a step in the right direction.
