Hey,
I've been using Jack's formmail.php but every 5th or so submission is just a blank.
What's the best free way to process forms to email?
Thanks,
T

FormM@iler (http://www.dbmasters.net/index.php?id=4) is the best, bar none.

With some basic php knowledge you can just create your own! well actually you don't really need any php knowledge.. just follow some tutorial online..

With some basic php knowledge you can just create your own! well actually you don't really need any php knowledge.. just follow some tutorial online..True, but keep in mind you need to ensure your form handles a handful of very serious security risks associated with creating form handlers like this. You'll also need to implement mechanisms to block form spammers (and CAPTCHA is not the answer). Sending mail is easy. Creating secure processing scripts and preventing yourself from getting spammed is a little more complex.
The big reason why I like the FormM@iler's script is because it has the option to turn on attachments too.

I've installed NMS and it seems to be working great and seems (by reading up a bit) to be secure enough for my needs. It's all that I need at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for the help guys.
