0 n_K Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 What server will it be running on, windows/linux? What backend will you be using (PHP/perl/python/asp/asp.net/pike/other)? What email SMTP options does your host offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 n_K Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) You'll need this; http://uk3.php.net/m...nction.mail.php Basically, you need a simple HTML form and then use PHP to detect if there's any data given to it, and if so, send an email using the above function. Once you've got a basic form done, you should add extra stuff like spam/DDoS prevention (only allow one request from 1 IP per 30 seconds or so) and other stuff. Edit: Or use this (as you're on linux hosting) I guess? http://support.godaddy.com/help/510/using-php-form-mailers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
