eMail from cgi
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:17 pm
I've been sending eMail from a Web-based HyperCard system successfully.
After last year's RevCon West I started making a SECOND conversion of my HC materials. The first was a simple port to RunRev; the current uses Revolution cgi scripts and xml files.
I've used the libSmtp253.rev stack as a Library and written a test stack that readily sends e-mail. When I try to use the same scripting and the same library from a cgi, it fails. I'm a journeyman scripter. As I review the script of the libSmtp253.rev, it does not strike me as doing any of those things that shut down cgi scripts (write to a fiedd, put, go to a cd, etc.)
Any suggestions will be helpful. This is NOT an all purpose tool, by the way. I always send the same message to a student's mentor indicating that student essays need an evaluation. Right now, the number of mentors is just three.
