Hello monks:

A company asked for a solution in one big problem they got. They are a real estate company and ask users to fill out forms if they are interested in a property. But they been having problems with a lot of forms from people that are only joking around and submit non-existant mail adresses. So I saw this idea on a site that sends you an email with an URL with and ID to a CGI that check if the ID is correct and then knows that you really ment to send the form. They really loved the idea since it would take only a couple of minutes for the users to accept the form. So I made the aplication.

I've tested the aplication and It worked great with my accounts I was so happy since I did the script rather fast. I called the owner of the company to tell him that the script was ready and that his webmasters could test it. Suddenly about an hour after I got a call from one of the webmasters telling me that the script takes to long before sending the mail.

So i tested again with other accounts in hotmail, yahoo and my site and they were right...sometimes it took hotmail about 15 minutes to receive the mail.

I have Eudora installed and there is an option when you send email that is called Priority-Mail...I tested and hotmail received the email very fast...so I thought that maybe sendmail had something similar..I've been looking but I can't find how? Could someone tell me how can I do it? Or should I use a perl module? Thanks

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
