Mail forms and banner ads

[Stace]

I have just set up an Apache 2.0.47 (Win32) server and it's working great
serving plain old HTML. I now wish to enhance it to be able to use Form to
email and to include banner ads.

Mail forms:
From what I have seen so far, I need the NMS Formmail script coupled with
SendMail on the server. I am concerned about security/open relay issues and
would like some advice re configuration and pitfalls to avoid.

Banner Ads:
Ideally I want to have a single repository for banner ads and a mechanism
for showing them on a random basis on all sites that I intend to host. SSI
looks to be popular but again there is a lot of information indicating the
#exec should not be allowed. What are people using out there?

Any advice as to the best (and most secure) way to go would be appreciated.
Regards,
Stace.

Download the nms script and read the documentation. That's a good
place to start. A preview: you can limit the addresses to which the
script will forward emails. There is lots more, but no point in
repeating what's in the readme and examples file.
