libSmtp253 and Rev cgi

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Richard,

Yes, it is compatible etc, but using it inside a cgi environment may  
be a big hassle. I had at least three cases where I couldn't use the  
main account (with short user name) but where I could use any other  
account (with user names like user%domain.com at domain.com).

There is a special mail cgi engine, which takes web form data,  
combines it with a layout that specifies e-mail addresses, subjects,   
and additional parameters if necessary and sends it to specified e- 
mail address. You should be able to call that CGI engine from within  
your Rev application or homepage.
