| creating an SMTP email messsage via a web form
I have about 40 alpha-numeric pagers that I have email addresses for.
I want to create a HTML page to allow the user to pick a pager recipient and then enter the message, then press SEND to have it sent to the pager's email address.
One requirement, the user workstations can not be configured via Outlook, or OE, to point to an SMTP server.
The message should be generated to use the webserver to sent the message to my SMTP server. SMTP services can probably be added to the web server if needed.
Any suggestions? |

this can't be done client/workstation side in HTML. Quote: |

| What scripting does your webserver (appserver) support, as it will need to be doen server side? | |

What about OWA?
If you're using MS Exchange it comes with IE5.5 (service pack something?)
It wouldn't be JUST for pagers, but could be done that way...
If Outlook is installed on the server machine, you maybe able to write some vbs/CDO on the server side...
Make a simple form that has their alias name, and password then a box for the smtp address, and a box for the messsage to be sent..
Insecure as hell though  lol
or you could lock it up a LITTLE more...
You could have a front page LIKE Outlook web access where it first asks for alias, and then username/password to get to the pager interface...
wont need SMTP to do this, but will need outlook setup with exchange. (no profiles are necessary)
Hmm if you can find another method to install CDO may not even need Outlook.

| I'm not sure. It is a Netscape Fasttrak Enterprise server I believe. What scripting do I need?

Not using a Microsoft server, don't use Exchange, and don't want to.  Otherwise, I think the FrontPage extensions would have worked for this. | |

This one? http://netbusiness.netscape.com/fast_track/ftstatus.psp
Not sure what *.psp is? But it shore is scripting...
What does netscape say?
One way, the Enterprise Server supports java, so create a java app that sends email (i've done this), call java from psp page that reads html form input. | |

Here is the supported scripting.... Server-Side JavaScript, PERL NetBasic, and LCGI.
It is actually a NetWare Enterprise Web Server (didn't upgrade to the Netscape Enterprise version on the maching I wish to setup this up on).
