Is there a way to allow a user to upload files when sending the administrator a message via Mail.CGI?

Question

I'm using TripodMail.pm and I want to be able to allot the user to attatch up to 6 files and have them sent to my email upon pressing the submit button.

Answer 1

It doesn't look like TripodMail.pm allows you to add attachments. I'm including a link that uploads files to the server. It depends what type of files the users will be uploading as to whether or not you will want to go this route. Also, it adds the possibility that you will need to make sure the files are getting downloaded from the directory periodically. This could be done with a script to automate the process, but that doens't prevent someone from downloading a huge file and hogging all your server space.

One note about the script linked to, it uses CGI::Carp to report errors to the browser, and I don't think that this module is accessible with a Tripod account. It also presents a security risk and shouldn't be used when a script is in production anyway.

One thing I noticed is that TripodMail appears to just be a convenience interface to the sendmail binary, which means that you could probably create your own calls to sendmail directly, and I would guess there would be a way to send attachments. I don't know anything about sendmail, though. Might want to post another question.

in assessment to white people who continually say that "they do no longer look to be racist" then create posts like yours on the cyber web..... Wait.... :edit: I meant "they do no longer look to be stupid". yet thank you for by possibility proving my element. :edit #2: If direction I suggested that and it is authentic. besides the undeniable fact that it is the tip effect which you conveniently skipped over. i do no longer hate white human beings with the aid of fact of my mothers and fathers. whether I had one confirm, the tip effect could have been the comparable, with the aid of fact i'm no longer an fool. end using your mothers and fathers as a cop out for you failing to think of rationally, whilst it includes the type you view human beings. :edit #3: the undeniable fact which you think of it is ninety% basically proves my element back. you're an fool who's resistant to any form of logic. the traditional guy or woman in basic terms see's approximately 10,000 human beings of their finished life span (which contain via television), which isn't even a million% of the black inhabitants. how are you able to assert what ninety% of a team are like? It seems such as you embody your stupidity, and you savor lack of understanding and your habit of "rare thinking". the only situation i'm biased against are idiots, and the only human beings I generalize in each and each of my posts, are racists, btw. that's why I respond to you plenty. :edit #4: No, i do no longer make generalizations approximately communities of loose thinking people, with the aid of fact i'm clever adequate to be responsive to that we are no longer machines. we don't execute each comparable action and trend at set periods with the aid of fact we are all distinctive in my opinion. in assessment to you, i don't have an over inflated ego, and an unwarranted experience of self properly worth. i'm no longer unhappy with my life. Nor am I "culturally at a loss for words" and experience the ought to stupidly and unjustly insult/label others so i think extra clever approximately my pathetic life such as you do. :edit #5: And "definite" Chrome is an fool for asserting that. you in basic terms suggested i'm incorrect once you assumed that I say "we are unlike that with the aid of fact i'm black" then tried to assert that what Chrome suggested had some benefit whilst it became something destructive approximately blacks "with the aid of fact he's BLACK".
