Question

Any good "contact us" recipes for Cherrypy?

Answer 1

+1 A:

Well, I had to look into a solution. This works (ugly, and w/o Javascript validation) -- using the smtplib lib. Also, note that I stole Jeff's captcha for this example. Anyone using this will need to change it.

EDIT: I added validation.
