Caveats of E-mail Transmission

E-mail is insecure.  This means that across the Internet, there is the potential, albeit small, for communications to be intecepted.  We should stress that the chance of e-mail being intercepted, on our servers or other servers, is very remote.  However, because of the risk, sensitive information should not be transmitted through E-mail, and hence through Web to Email forms.

Using FormMail

Our form-to-mail processor of choice is FormMail.  It can be as basic or as advanced as you like.  Some of its more notable options include:

• Ability to have a "Thank You" page once the form is filled out.
  
  
• Ability to taylor e-mail fields such as From and Subject to make the result more usable.
  E.G. you may want to make the From address be the sender's address, so you can reply right back to them.

On the next page, we will show you basic form setup.  We will then move to more advanced options.
