You will have to request the location from your ISP. Typically, the Blat Mail or WinMail programs are installed in the system32 directory. You should also ask them if they even have a sendmail program (like Blat or WinMail) installed on the server. Many NT Service Providers do not take the time to install sendmail programs, since most of the time, they assign Front Page accounts. And in the Front Page, there is an SMTP configuration that allows you to send mail from web forms created in Front Page.
Here is an example of a mail program path for NT:
Code:
C:/Winnt/system32/Blat.exe
Unfortunately (for programmers), NT web accounts are typically set-up in a more security manner than UNIX (in the sense of accessing or finding server resources...like
in UNIX, you could type "which perl" or "which sendmail" and it would give you the location of these programs). It is more complicated to find server resources with a NT account.
If your server does not have sendmail installed or you do not receive a response from your ISP, then I would recommend using the Mailer.pm mailer available through the CNET site as well as in the LINKS program.
Then configure the sendmail script to use SMTP rather than sendmail.
If you need assistance in setting up your FormMail.pl to use SMTP, let me know.
Hope this helps.
