Actually if you have PHP running on a UNIX box, then PHP is the way to do it
using the UNIX mail program.

The following script emails to the email address in your form and then
displays a '.thankyou' message.
substitute any other address for alternate results.

<?php
$email=$_POST["email"];
$subject="Thanks for your comments";$message="Dear
".$_POST["firstname"].",\n";$message.="Thank you for posting the following
comments: -\n\n";$message.=$_POST["comment"];$dummy=mail($email, $subject,
$message);    if($dummy)        {        echo "Thank you for your comments.
We have e-mailed you";        }?>
The above script would accomlish what you want. If you want to dig for your
self go to
