Working with HTML Forms
Preparing the Server to Send email
Since email generated by forms is created on and sent from the server that hosts Ektron CMS400.NET, the server must be enabled to handle those responsibilities. To configure your Web server to send email, refer to Configuring email Notifications in the Ektron CMS400.NET Setup Manual.
Warning!A form typically includes fields for source and destination email addresses, which are used to transmit the form via email. An unscrupulous attacker can post a form to a Ektron CMS400.NET page and send email from any email address to any email address. The attacker's form can be on an HTML page on a server that is remote from the Ektron CMS400.NET installation. Any Ektron CMS400.NET on a public site that includes the Ektron CMS400.NET sample site with the form.aspx page and properly configured SMTP can be used to send spam.
