Can anyone please point me to a recommended tutorial or app that will
help me make my own contact page on a personal website.
1. I am wanting the user to be able to send me a mail from the website.
(I think the average settings are '/usr/lib/sendmail')
2. I need my email address hidden/encrypted - unavailable to spammer
3. The form needs to fit in with the rest of my page design

I tried for over 4 hours yesterday trying to get something working but I
can't get the form to fit in with my page.
Thanks

Munge your email, for example here:

http://www.healyourchurchwebsite.com/obfuscator/

create a link on your webpage: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">***
</a>

or munged : <a href="mailto:n%65w%73%40%6bid%73n%65%77s%2ea%75.%
6f%72g">***</a>

*** is what's linked (a picture, text, etc)

HTH

Thanks for that, but I am wanting my email address hidden/encrypted when
using the sendmail form not just for clicking o a link.

If your server supports it, I can write an ASP script that can do this for
you?

Why not just Google for a ready-made script and save yourself the
effort? What server-side language are you intending to use?

I think you mean "There's no place like loop-back".

Nah, he definitely meant "There's no place like ~/" ;)

Funny;

I was looking for such a beast just yesterday. The best I've seen so
far (for security & customization) appears to be "contact form" from
Stephen Ostermiller (http://ostermiller.org/contactform/). It assumes
that your webserver has a command-line driven mail proggy (ie sendmail)
and can execute Perl scripts.

Ostermiller's FAQ includes a section on integrating the script with
one's web design.
