problems with Formmail

[cmotor]

Hi.

I have discovered that Formmail is not able to handle secure mail transactions (in addition to it being a big target for spammers). Can anyone reccommend another program for handling secure web transactions via forms.


Thank you,

One issue I notice right off is the "secure mail transactions".

Usually, email is not used for transmission of secure information, such as credit card info, etc. - unless the email is encrypted.

To handle secure transactions, assuming you are on a server running SSL, look for a script that will store form submissions in a database or flat file. Then you can retrieve that information via the SSL channel to your website.

In addition, my scripts geared toward "e-commerce" - shopping carts, etc., will log transactions similarly.
