There is one line that has to be
altered and two lines that have to be added to your form. First, the line that begins the
form should look like this:
<FORM
action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="POST">
The following two entries must be
entered into the form for this perl script to work properly:
The "value" in both lines should be changed to reflect the subject title and
your e-mail address respectively.
<input type=hidden
name="subject" value="Your Subject">
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="email@your.host.com">
The following entry will
send to user to an html file of your choice after successfully filling out the form.
<input type=hidden
name="redirect" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/thanks.htm">

Autorespond.pl
is a perl script that you can place in your "cgi-local" directory that will let
you mail information from a form on your web site to any Internet mailbox and will send
back to the customer an e-mail message via text file that you place in your home
directory.

How to configure
the file -- Autorespond.pl
There are only two lines that
have to be changed in the Autorespond.pl script for it to work -
You have to enter your domain information at
the @referers line:
@referers =
('www.yourdomain.com','yourdomain.com','206.31.72.203');
This array allows you to define
the domains that you will allow forms to reside on and use your FormMail script. If a user
tries to put a form on another server, that is not www.anotherdomain.com, they will
receive an error message when someone tries to fill out their form.
This means that you replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name and the ip address
with your assigned ip address.
The line that begins
with "$message =" must include the real path to your info.txt file (or whatever
you want to call the file).
The rights on the
Autorespond.pl file should be 755.
To do this you must log
into your account using telnet. This is the only type of work that you should do in a
telnet session for security reasons. If you prefer that we do this for you, just send
e-mail to support@mjourney.com and request that we change the rights on a cgi script.
Include your username in the message.
From the command line type:
chmod 755 Autorespond.pl
from within your cgi-local
directory. This command will change the rights of the
file to be executable by everyone -- this is most likey the reason that your script may
not work correctly!
How to configure
your HTML files to use Autorespond.pl
There is one line that has to be
altered and two lines that have to be added to your form. First, the line that begins the
form should look like this:
<FORM
action="/cgi-local/Autorespond.pl" method="POST">
The following two entries must be
entered into the form for this perl script to work properly:
The "value" in both lines should be changed to reflect the subject title and
your e-mail address respectively.
<input type=hidden
name="subject" value="Your Subject">
<input type=hidden
name="recipient" value="email@yourdomain.com">
The following entry will
send to user to an html file of your choice after successfully filling out the form.
<input type=hidden
name="redirect" value="thanks.htm">
Replace thanks.htm with
your own file name.
