Hello!
I am new to his forum, FutureQuest, and CGI. I have a question I am hoping someone will help me with.
I am using Form Mail on my website to get e-zine subcription info, but need it to do more.
Right now, the script sends me the subscriber's name and email address, which is good.
But I would like to make it so the subscriber gets the first issue of my e-zine by autoresponder. The problem is that Form Mail generates the email containing the subscriber info, so the subscriber never actually uses their own email server, which in turn, doesn't activate the autoresponder.
Does anyone know how I might change my script to accomplish this?
The script I'm using is below.
Thanks in advance! :)
Doug
