Kha'max, I'm sorry if your attbi box is being spammed with my 'test' applications. If it is, please let me know so that I can stop testing. If it is not, let me know that as well.
Here are *my* results so far:
My tests to the e-mail address: lomswgapp@maxliao.com do not seem to be working. I do not know what the reson for this could be. I have now gone through many tests and everything checks out fine.
The only thing I can think of is that it IS working, but somehow automated e-mails to Netfirms accounts are slow as shit. (This IS a possibility as I ran into this issue once before waiting on a CD key).
For Test #6 I added my hotmail address to the form submission and ... BAM! ... right away I had the application results. However, the netfirms account had nothing.
As another test, I forwarded the e-mail that was sent to my hotmail account to my netfirms account. Lo and behold, it was there instantly.
I don't know what to say. I'm going to give the netfirms account 24 hours and see if something gets there.
God, I do NOT want to make another hotmail account, but I may have to. I don't like the idea of these applications being stuck out in the 'ether' for this long but I'd also like a central point for this information so that Kha'max, Kedryn, Kodoss and myself all can access it if needed.
More info later.

Check out this site, too: www.netfirms.com/supportSearch?SKUID=68&CODEID=frontpage
And here is an e-mail message I got from netfirms when I mentioned to them the situation: Thank you for your e-mail, Try moving the following html tags: <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="lomswgapp@maxliao.com"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.maxliao.com/legion/s wg/thanks.htm"> <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="otep65@attbi.com"> <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="schloe_is_in_kuwait@hotmail.co m"> Place them directly below the form declaration(the start of your form). Regards, Allan Technical Support Department Netfirms Inc.
I have replied telling them that it still doesn't work. I only get the e-mail in my hotmail account. (I assume that the application with all the 'tests' was you, Kha'max? I received it in my hotmail account.) Have a look at the code. If you see any problems, let me know. To this day FORMS have been the one thing that always kick my ass in web design! Grrrr ... I am going to wait on their reply as well.

The form is working!!
Kha'max, I gave you the password to access the e-mail at: lomswgapp@maxliao.com ... let me know if you have any problems.
Rooks and Kodoss, I can't remember if I sent you the password the other day as well. If not let me know and I'll do so.
Please do NOT delete any of the form submissions even after read. We need to keep them for documentation purposes.

Max you need to do mailto: before all the email addresses.

Aye, typically you do - when it's a link. However, because of this line: <form method="POST" action="/cgi/formmail" name="Legion of Myth Application Form"> FrontPage extentions does not need the 'mailto:' command. Currently, this is working perfectly: <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="lomswgapp@maxliao.com" /> What Netfirms told me is that I should only use one recipient. Once I made that change (and they brought me back online) things worked great. (I guess cgi spamming isn't allowed ... hehe). Also remember, that there was no 'mailto' code before the hotmail address, but that one was always working. All we have to do now is login to the lomswgapp web mail account to check for new apps.
