thats what it does, it opens ur default mail client.

You have to usee a form mailer if you want it to send automatically.

I suggest using PHP I have written a basic one which should be modified and you will have to add the variables in PHP to match yours.

PHP: Select all


<?php
                                                        
                                                        $subject ="$subject"; 
                                                        
                                                        $message="$detail"; 
                                                       
 
                                                       $to ='EMAIL HERE!!'; 
                                                       $send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message);
                                                       
  if($send_contact){
  echo "We've recived your contact information";
  }
  else {
  echo "ERROR";
  }
  ?>

It should have a few anti-spam things in and other basic stuff but should work on the whole but was just a quick sketch-up.

Stupid Lag please delete this.

Edit: Hmmm the code box seems to have messed up, you will have to scroll

If you want to go the php form route, which would be my preference, you may be interested in taking a look at an article and associated files that I put together last year on fighting back against spam.

http://1ontheweb.net/1ontheweblog.html

The pdf file explains the reasoning and the code. The associated files are in the zipped file.
