Hi

That is a bad idea and unprofessional way of doing it. There is no need to expose the mail addresses to spambots like that.

Anyway, you posted no [tt]perl[/tt] code, so we can not help. Post formmail.pl ( between [tt][ignore]

[/ignore][/tt] and [tt][ignore]

[/ignore][/tt] TGML tags, please ) or upload it somewhere and post its URL.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I am not a professional in this. I need help understanding how to change the email address. I do not do this for a living, and unfortunately I cannot understand your post. Am I at a dead end here with this forum?

Hi

I cannot understand your post.

Neither this part ?

Post formmail.pl

Hi,
Thanks. No, neither that part.

All I know is I see in the first line of code after the <FORM ACTION there is a line of type with the ending of formmail.pl. Do you need something else?

 

[audiopro]

http://www.newenglandringers.org/cgi-bin/formmail.pl

is a file on your server which handles the submitted form.
What Feherke is saying is that you should not put your email address in the form but place it into the Formmail.pl script.
He was asking you to post the contents of the Formmail.pl file so he could tell you where and how to place the email address.

Hi Keith,
Thank you for your reply.

How do I get the contents of the formmail.pl file? I originally copied the form out of dreamweaver where I've been trying to make their website changes.

The file is here

http://www.newenglandringers.org/cgi-bin/formmail.pl

I assume you have access to it as you cannot just download a perl script.

Hi Keith,
Please bear with me. I am editing this website in Dreamweaver where I was able to copy the code and paste it in this forum. I'm sure I do have access to this file, but I don't know how to access it. I appreciate your patience.
