Hi, I am trying to write a web based mail form but unfortunately, it has to be on NT. I've got the thing mailing using the script from the command line but it doesn't send the mail through the script run as a web form. I'm logged in as administrator on the command line so I reckon the problem is that the CGI user does not have permissions so access the SMTP server. Is there a way I can su to the administrator to send the mail as part of the web script? I know it's easy on Unix (god how I miss it) but I'm stumped at finding a way on NT. BTW, the server I'm using is Apache but I'm damned if I can find the section in the conf file where the CGI user is specified, I know it in Unix. Any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated. Regards, Kakaze
