Frontpage Mail Forms on Unix Box

I was advised by my hosting provider that my frontpage email forms will not
work on Unix boxes, even with frontpage server extensions installed. I am
utilizing Frontpage 2003. Is this true........forms haven't worked since
they switched Windows to Unix boxes.

Re: Frontpage Mail Forms on Unix Box

It is up to your host to choose which features of the FrontPage
extensions they will support - your host has chosen to not support the
forms email transport. Your host may have another solution for emailing
form data, such as PHP, Perl/CGI

Re: Frontpage Mail Forms on Unix Box

They *can* be set up on UNIX. Your host would have to study:
Setting up Email options on UNIX in the Server Extensions Resource Kit

However, it could be they have decided that *they* won't support them on
their UNIX servers.
