I have a simple mail script designed to use from command line.
I want create a simple web interface to use this script as remotely
hosted webscript, from webhost.
The script contains two files- Data File.dat(which holds the list of
email addresses, where the mail has to be sent;
the addresses are separated by new lines); and Message template
File.template(t his file contains the message template to be sent.)
Need some help and advices.
thanks
