looking for php smtp form

ok - I am looking for a simple php contact form script that supports smtp. I have found a bunch that are very heavy. Just a script that takes some form fields and sends them via email using smtp not phpmail.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't really know of any pre-packaged contact form scripts, anymore (I'm sure there are a bunch out there), but you could roll your own and use HTMLMimeMail5 to send the results through SMTP.

Leppy might know about a pre-packaged script.

ok - here's what i did to fix it - on the php mail() command, I added a "-f" plus email address and apparently that fixes it because it forces a reply address -- in my tests it has worked perfectly.

I'm glad you were able to get it worked out.

For future reference, since it sounds like the form you're currently using just uses the standard PHP mail() function, you might want to look into PHPMimeMail anyway. It gives you a much more developer-friendly interface to manipulate the mail() function, including an easy way to use SMTP mail instead of sendmail, an easy way to add attachments and more.
