Check with you web host to see if they support that.

Check with your webhost , and find out if you are on an NT or a *nix server. Some webhosts use a preconfigured form mailer and you just fill in the blanks. If you are on an NT platform and your wbhost allows you to run ASP scripts, then you should use an ASP mailer such as formmail.asp. I can email you a copy with instructions if you need it.

If you are on a *nix, then there are 1000 cgi scripts and perl scripts that will mail your form. This will require some familiarity with cgi. Bignosebird.com has an excellent form mailer program with step by step directions for the install, geared for the cgi novice. When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
