There's a link to a BLAT/NT compatible version of FormMail from Matt's 
Script Archive at 
<http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml>.  It builds the 
message body in a temp file and passes that file to BLAT.  If the servers 
aren't using BLAT, it shouldn't be too difficult to modify it for whatever 
mailer they are using.

Failing that, this one 
<http://www.tneoh.zoneit.com/perl/SendMail/form.html> opens a socket to 
port 25 and acts as a mini-SMTP client, skipping the server's mailer 
altogether.  All you need is Perl 5 support.
