I'm quite new to Drupal, but so far i have been unable to find a module to fit what should be a very simple task.

Take a form (ideally customizable, perhaps even validated) and email the results of the form to a pre-set email address.

My use for this is a very simple mailing list sign up, a user enters an email address and presses submit, the address is then sent to the site owner who can use their existing desktop mailing list management software.

The contact module is overkill, so i cant use that, does anyone know of a module which already exists which fits the description?

Thanks,

Drayen

Wow, thats amazing, thank you!

For other people who read this, you may also want to check out the web form module (http://drupal.org/project/webform) which i was directed to by a few people in IRC.

Once again the Drupal community astounds me !

Yeah, webform is one way to go. But knowing some basic formAPI stuff and block/php code like that can often satisfy your client's "heroin fix" style need to get something there "right now!".

I was thinking about making a mini module myself to scratch the itch, but never would have thought to do it direct into a block like that! Never even knew something like that was even possible, very clever stuff, thanks again.

I'm guessing you aren't a developer. If you were, you would know that that isn't even remotely a simple task. Best not to make assumptions.

I am no coder or Drupal developer but I had exactly the same requirement as you : a form with a name field, and email field and a subscribe button. All submissions emailed directly to a fixed email address. You can see it here in the left sidebar http://www.puremountains.com.

I adapted the 6.x-1.1 version of the Author Contact module ( http://drupal.org/node/228274 ) with no trouble at all despite my skills deficit ! The Webform module is fine, but is a sledgehammer to crack a nut when your requirement is as simple as this.

Happy to send you a copy of the adapted module if you wish.

Cheers
