Why don't you check out the code in the Snitz Forum? We have a Send topic to a friend function which is pretty much the same thing you are talking about.
All that is done is, you have a form that takes the info (email addresses, name, message etc.) and with the help of an Email Component, you send that info to the component and it sends it to the smtp server.

uhhh...I don't think so. If I took a table tag out of the snitz code and used it in my website, would I need the copyright link for that too? 
Ok, checking the GPL, you would need the copyright info if you use the exact copy of the code: quote:
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
If you copy the code and modify it, you will need put notice that you did: quote:
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
But I didn't suggest he copy the code. He can use it as a starting point to make his own. The email components usually have examples on thier site of how to send an email using thier component. So he can use that too. He doesn't have to copy the code from Snitz but see how it is done.

I don't understand what you mean by "ASP email".

Oh, maybe I make a mistake.
And...
Do you know any about e-mail from the webpage to an e-mail box?
Is the "rdSMTP" a special file which we can't change?
Eg.
set myMail=Server.CreateObject("rdSMTP.SMTPObject")

We support many email components to allow you to send email from your forum to your email address. If you don't see the email component that you have installed, we can add it for you. Just tell us the name of the email component and a link to thier website.
