Congratulations! Looks awesome. What's the setup (webserver, etc)?
IOW, what would we need from a host to be able to use this?

OS: Any (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD)*
Server: Apache (but will probably work with any)
Host: allows CGI, mods to htaccess
I develop it at home on a Windows system and my host is FreeBSD. I'm
assuming it will work on Linux.
* Currently, the system can't send emails from Windows. I'm using sendmail
on FreeBSD and don't know what to use for Windows. I'll have to figure
out what to do about that. Other than that, I don't know of any limitations.
There are tons of hosts out there that will be able to host a BBCMF install.
I'm using Dot5Hosting right now, but I can't give a recommendation due to
issues I've had with them over time (slow, downtime, etc.). I doubt any
free hosts will host a BBCMF install due to the custom CGI you have to run,
but most of the cheap ones will.
And, as I've said in the past, I don't know how well this will scale. It's
got a caching system that should enable high volume... but who knows? I'd
like somebody to explore the possibility of translating and compiling the
system. The problem with that is the plugin system is dynamic, so each time
you plugged or unplugged a plugin, you'd have to retranslate/recompile. Just
stuff to think about.
P.S. I updated the blog entry to give credit to EuSQL. BBCMF would not have
been as easy to create without it. So, thanks! :)

I use blat (www.blat.net) with something like:
VOID = shellExecuteEx("open", "send.bat",
sprintf("%s %s %s %s %s", {last_dumped, subline, getText(txtSMTP),
getText(txtEmail), getText(txtFrom)}),
0, SW_MINIMIZE, 0)
Where send.bat is:
-------------------------------------------------
:) %1 file
:) %2 subject
:) %3 smtp server
:) %4 to email
:) %5 from email
rasdial woosh
echo email sending with command line:
echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
echo ---
cat %1 | cjpeg -quality 85 > %1.jpg
blat filler.txt -to %4 -f %5 -subject %2 -server %3 -attach %1.jpg -base64 -mime
-------------------------------------------------
There is a blat.dll which I think can be wrapped (ie a 'send_email' function)
but I never persued wrapping it as the batch file worked fine and gave more end
user flexibility (eg bringing up the internet connection etc)

I've had success using vmailer.exe on Windows from a
Euphoria program. Vmailer works even when the SMTP server
requires authentication.

Oh yeah. Duh, right? I'm using that in another program at work. sheesh. :)
Michael Raley's wrapper for blat is here:

I'll check out Vmailer, too, Rob.
Thanks, guys! :)

I've set up a free test environment for anyone that wants to test this or other
aspects of CGI programming: http://www.wazu.jp/hosting/euphoria.html
