Where do you want the user feedback to go, and by what
mechanism?

For example, is it sufficient to send user HTML form feedback
text via email to a designated staff person?

If so, we used to use a (free perl) script called 'FormMail'
(going by memory) that would do just that.  It was not
complicated to set up.
