cgi email using /usr/bin/mail

[Iantcho Vassilev]

Just search for ready to use "contact us" form(there is a php and a perl

If you don`t have experience with executing system binaries through cgi
socket i suggest you  leave the programming work because even this is  such
a simple task it can make you regret.
