Title: qmail or sendmail
Post by: Richard Whitney on October 07, 2000, 11:13:59 AM

Howdy.

Do I need to INSTALL these programs or are they all ready to go?
I've tried every possible path and I can't seem to make my forms work.
If I do need to install them what is the command?
Or do I just have my head up my butt?

Cheers

qmail is installed and should be correctly configured as long as you
have configured your server through the e-smith-manager.

There are also two links, /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail
which point to qmail's sendmail wrapper. You should be able to
call these from your forms unless your forms use some of the
esoteric sendmail options.

This is my code:

Is there something wrong with this?  Every time I try to access it, it comes back file not found.
Please help.
Thanks

Thankfully CGI/POST does not allow direct access to files outside
the area controlled by the web server. Otherwise, there would be
no security at all for web interfaces.

These concepts and examples are covered in any decent web
programming book.
