how to implement autoresponder?

[nhasbek]

Hello,
I am using a basic javascript "orderform" that sends checked off info to an email address.
As I understand there is no method to implement an autoresponder through the use of javascript.
So my question is how can I do this with perl/cgi, and are there any ready to use scripts?

Yes, you need cgi for this. There are plenty of autoresponder scripts, try www.hotscripts.com.

Or you can alter an existing script such as Matt's ForMail.pl
to include an autoresponder.

Example:-



sub send_ack {

# Open The Mail Program for auto acknowledgement #
open(MAIL,"|$mailprog -t");

print MAIL "From: Autoresponder\@yourdomain.com\n";
print MAIL "To: $Config{'Email_Address'} ($Config{'CustomerName'})\n";

print MAIL "Subject: Thank you for your order!\n\n\n";

print MAIL "Acknowledgement of receipt of your order.\n\n";

print MAIL "$date\n\n";

print MAIL "Text of response message here.\n";

close (MAIL);
}
