Ok, one final server side method. For those that for some reason can't use ASP or PHP you can use Perl. Perl is one of those server side scripts that doesn't care if you're using Unix/Linux or Windows, it will run on both. There are 2 Perl files, don't worry about the "SubParse" file, just focus on the main file, "SendMail.cgi". Here's the code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

require "subparse.lib";
&Parse_Form;

$theMail = $formdata{'email_txt'};
$theSubject = $formdata{'subject_txt'};
$theMessage = $formdata{'message_txt'};


open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t") || &ErrorMessage;
print MAIL "To: $theMail \nFrom: $theMail\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $theSubject\n";
print MAIL "$theMessage\n";
close (MAIL);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
Print "&server_mes=ok";

sub ErrorMessage {
print "&server_mes=Fail";
exit; }

So there you have it. Sending mail through flash with 3 methods. Which to use it completely up to you. Modifying the code is fairly easy if you just follow the blue prints that have been laid out for you.
