I am manually processing the cc's. Once they send me the information I will process it on my cc processor. I just wanted an easy way for a buyer to send me secure data. My business is not big and I do not have the knowledge or resources to build a complicated site.

Why are you collecting cc info if you aren't going to do anything with it?

You can use Pgp or Gpg to send encrypted messages from a secure server to your email. You will than, in turn need to unencrypt it once it is on your computer. There are lots of pre-made scripts for both Pgp and Gpg. Pgp is not free, it cost $$$. Gpg is just a free nock off of Pgp, which is what I use and most others who don't want to pay for Pgp.

Cgi resource has a list of pgp and gpg scripts that you can use. Most are for free. http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Form_Processing/

Remember, you need to collect the data on secure server, or the information can fall into the wrong hands.

Goodluck!

Ack. I must of misread the OPs message. I took "There will be no credit card processing." to mean that there will be no credit card information sent.

Scratch that then!

Just a note: he will be transmitting credit card information through this form. Formmail is not going to solve his needs.

If you don't want to reinvent the wheel (many people have done this already) then go to the following URL and download Formail:

http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml

Unpack the archive and follow the instructions in the README file. There will be a few basic settings need changing (like your email address, for example).

You will then need to upload these to your secure server, and whala! You're done. People can fill in a form online and it will be shot off to you via email.

Please note that this is not the most secure method as emails do not get encrypted with this program - I couldn't actually find one that did encrypt then send (is there a gap in the market there? ).

If you're having any problems installing, just reply to this thread and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Hope this helps!
