RE: CGI Problem

Hello Sunil,

Somewhere in the script (not in your HTML) there should be a
reference to sendmail - which is the program the script calls
to actuallz send the mail to the friend.  If it's a good script,
the reference should be right up front with a comment pointing
to it.  Look for that and change it (and, if your server is a
Unix box) be sure it's all lower-case as shown.  HTH ...

was where? I do not have any directory on the server with the
