Configuring FormMail?

[Wieny]

To whom it may concern:

I am a somewhat new customer to hostrocket. I was browsing throught the control panel and bumped into the FormMail button.

So I though, "Great! Just what I needed!"

However, I don't understand how they configured the formmail. Where Do I find the Perl Document? Do I write my own, place it in the CGI bin and just use it from there? Or is there a certain document on the server that I need to open and configure?

Any hints or assistance on this subject matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

well.... its explained well at

http://www.yourdomain.com:2082/frontend/hrcp/control/formmailreadme.php

replacing yourdomain of course. Or cpanel ->FormMail -> "click 'ReadMe' "



Its really just creating a form to send the email and changing the action to /cgi-sys/FormMail.pl, although I do not use it
..... I find it a lot easier to use PHP to write out all the needed info for it.

The thread just before this one covers this pretty well.

Is it automatically configured to be sent to my e-mail account already? Or do I have to configture it?
