You need to use some type of server side language like ASP, PHP, CGI or PERL... There is no other way... unfortunately.

And welcome to the forums. :)

I didn't get it working when having the reciepant and 'from' as a hotmail account, however, you can get IT working the way you have suggested if you used another address...
