To avoid having the user's mail user agent send the form, you need to have their browser send it via HTTP:


Of course, that's the easy part. The more tricky part is that /path/to/cgi/cgiscript.pl is just an example - you need a CGI script or other server-side code to actually send the email. You can send emails from virtually any server-side scripting technology; a popular method is to use the sendmail command at the server side, though beware of security problems with shelling out from a CGI using data you've taken from a user-submitted form. Personally, I write my CGI scripts in Tcl and use the mime and smtp packages to send mail if I have to.

There are various form to mail scripts available - see what languages and/or server side technologies your hosting supports and see if one exists - ideally a free one - for your platform.

Hope this helps.

You can look up bignosebird.com. They have a cgi script that will email forms for you as well. Probably easier than building your own.
