Yes, that's how it works. When the user submits the web form, an Email message is sent to you with a Maximizer attachment (.mti file) containing the data. On receipt of the message, you just open the attachment and the data is imported into the address book you choose.

Maximizer 7.0 supplied a script that wouldn't work under certain common webserver configurations. I posted a corrected version here a while back (ref:
Winqcgi.pl - Nowt but grief.....), but the file I attached was never approved by a moderator. (They never are
.) Still, if you're planning to use the Perl (CGI) version you should read that thread; it might help.
(I'm told that the script included with version 7.5 has been fixed.)

You
may have to modify the <FORM> line to point at the actual location of the Perl script. For example:
<FORM action="/cgi-bin/winqcgi.pl" method="post" name="mtiform">
Depending on where your /cgi-bin directory is located, you may have to edit the 'action' attribute to indicate the correct path for your particular setup.

Yes, the web server needs to be able to actually
send the message....
