|
|
|
B.E.C. Form Mailer is an email relay
agent which will accept any kind of generic form submission to
it. The results of that form are then emailed to a configured
address. Note that this mailer supports POST, not GET
submission.
An example form is shown below, along
with the HTML code that is used to generate the example form.
The parameters that can be included in your form (as hidden
input types), are also shown. These can be embedded within your form,
to customise the actions, or mail message type.
Refer to your standard HTML
literature of web sites for more information on forms.
