Re: CGI Problem

Morning,

You need to go into the .cgi file itself and change the line that has
$sendmail or $mailprog (I think BigNoseBird uses $mailprog) to the path they
have given you.

Just change the .cgi extension to .txt.  Make your change and then change
the extension back to .cgi .  Please make a backup of the original file
before doing this.  That way you can mess up as much as you want and KNOW
that you have an original waiting for you just in case you do.

Carol
