Okay, here is what my situation is. I used the form mailers from http://www.pollit.com for people to send me feedback and use it to sign-up for things on my website. Pollit (now known as sparklit) is going to start charging people to use their mailers. I have untill January 31 to do something different. I am not going to pay for some stupid mailer, when I have a CGI-Bin of my own. I want a simple CGI mailer that I can use on my site. If anybody can help me out, I would appreciate it very much. :)

Get rid of the comma:

http://www.hostedscripts.com/

I don't even think it's possible to actually DOWNLOAD their script without hacking into their servers. Therefore, your idea wouldn't work. Try http://www.hotscripts.com for a free CGI formmail script, or if you are willing to have a less customizable mailer, just stick with Hotscripts' remote hosting service.

No, I don't want remotely hosted ones, that was what I had before, and they are going to begin charging me to use them. I am looking for my own CGI form mailer script that I can host myself in my own CGI-Bin. If anybody knows where I can get one, please let me know. :)

Nope, I am sorry all I have access to is CGI. I am building my own web server that should be done in a few months then I will have access to just about everything under the sun. :cool: But until then all I have is CGI. :(
