| I have a .cgi script to process emails submitted from a form. Does Abyss server support that? What is the address to the mail server in Abyss or is that something I have to install extra? |

You must use your ISP's mail server or use one you have installed and configured. All mail scripts should work with abyss if configured correctly. There are some tutorials for setting mail servers up in the tutorials section of the forum.

Thanks for your response, to me more clear in my question.. I guess what I want to find out is this... int he .cgi script it asks for the following location of the sendmail
$location_of_sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
I guess I want to know how to point to the sendmail in Abyss webserver? does it support it at all? or what are my alternatives? |

Turbopb,
sendmail is not related to the web server. It's used by your script to send mails only. If you're using a Unix based system, sendmail is usually available by default.
On Windows, you should install a sendmail-like software. We recommend using Blat which is free and compatible with Unix sendmail. Search for Blat in this forum for more information.
