Because it was easier to suck connect to their SMTP server with the
MSWinsock control and send a few lines of code, than it is to format
data and send them to a remote PHP script with the POST method.

Why not? I've already done it before.

I don't want to use VBScript.

For those interested, here's some code I found that seems to do the
job:

=================
<?php
foreach ($_POST as $k => $v) {
if(!isset($_POST[$k]) || !strlen($_POST[$k])) {
echo "$k not set!<p>";
exit;
}
}

$fp = fopen ("stuff_received.txt", "w");
fputs ($fp,$_POST['etab']);
fputs ($fp,$_POST['sujet']);
fputs ($fp,$_POST['message']);
fclose($fp);
?>
=================
