cgiemail question

[greencode]

I'm using the simple cgiemail script that you get on cPanel but would like to know if there's any way that you can send up a reply. What I would like is when people sign up and hit submit that it sends me an email with their details (which I have set up okay) but also for a generic reply to be sent to them to say "thanks for signing up".

I'm not a techy guy so found cgiemail easy to set up but to do anything else other than the basics is baffling me!

The cgiemail user guide is here: http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/user.html

Any help would be much appreciated.

It doesn't appear to have a secondary email capability.

Thanks for your response. I seem to have found another script: http://www.codebrain.com/perl which seems alot more customisable.

Indeed. I've used http://www.bignosebird.com/carchive/bnbform.shtml before.

Can that script not be used as a spam box as the "to" email address is put right into the html, allowing anyone to send emails to anyone through your script?

yep that's what someone else has just told me as well - I've removed it from my site - that's how little I know about programming!!!

Most of these old cgi-mail scripts far predate the spam epidemic so the majority don't do much checking.
