I am working in a university environment where most everything is done via a web page. Most of the machines that are used do not have a mail client installed. I have created forms using LiveCycle that users complete, and click a button to mail the document to a specified recipient. This part all works fine as long as there is a mail client installed on the computer. However, for most of the systems we have, there is no mail client. I would like to have the form processed by the server that served the form in the first place, as it does have a mail server installed. Anybody done this? Can it be done? I would love to hear any thoughts / ideas / etc. that you may have.

Thanks in advance...

You can submit to a URL script page and have the web sript process the email request. This means you will need an email server available to the script.

That is actually the path that i was starting to head down. Would you happen to know of any sample code anywhere that would help? Or if no specific examples, are there any good javascript sites that you can recommend to go look? I am wading through the google deluge right now...
Thanks!
