Re: SUID on NT

There is a couple of things you can do. One is go into Internet Service manager and go to the properties of SMTP then go to security and take out the check in don't allow annonymous access. This of-course is very insecure. the second is set up another machine as a SMTP gateway. Then use Net::STMP to connect and send out the email through it. On the security side of this you will need to do two allow smtp traffic from your web server (via IP address). This can be done in ISM also. Then you can connect and send it on its marry way.

Hi BigJoe, Yep, they're both the ideas I had and didn't go for, the first for the security aspect rules that out and the second is unfortunately not an option :( I'm using the Net:SMTP approach but since we only have the one machine, that has to be the SMTP gateway and all the inherent security risks involved prohibit using that for anonymous access. Ho Hum, back to scratching my head. Thanks for the help! Kakaze	[reply]
