RE: Help with CGI Script

Your error message was:

-6 local user $to unknown on host $smtp

This seems to be saying the the user id in the variable $to does not exist on the smtp mail server. That literally means that the email address you are trying to send to doesn't exist. My initial guess is that you've probably messed up the parameter list you send to the script. You didn't provide us with the code you're using with your submit button, but I suspect you have not correctly formated this call:

# &sendmail($from, $reply, $to, $smtp, $subject, $message );

If I had to guess, I would guess that you didn't include the $from or the $reply variable. If you leave one of these variables out, the list of variables won't line up. You will most likey enter the same value for both parameters unless you use a different "Reply To" value than your "From" value. Just a guess on my part.

Send me the web page that this code is on and I can check that for you as well. Send it to 97321@home.com.
