Netcraft is not 100% accurate, even discounting errors. E.g., IIS can
be configured to report itself as Apache for the sake of a first level

Using Firefox + WebDeveloper Extension[0] allows easy viewing of the
headers. In this case, that the headers returned on the homepage are:
Response Headers - http://www.otherduties.com/index.html

So, it's Apache 2.0.50 running on a FreeBSD machine.

Try PHP Mailer[1]. It's a simple, ready-to-go mailer class with a
syntax based on ASP Mailer.
