help i cant get formmail to work from my dreamweaver form!!!

[dbl]

Hi, I am trying to get formmail to work from a page I have created in dreamweaver. The problem is I cannot get it to work. My page has about 15 fields on the form that need to be mailed to one address, I cannot work it out.
I know I am being thick probably, if somebody could help that would be great.
Thanks, Damion.

Damon,

Do yourself and your webhost a huge favor by *not* using formmail.pl, which contains known design flaws that allow it to be exploited by spammers to use your servers to send their, um, stuff.

I highly recommend using the version found at

http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/

instead. Why? Read the FAQ on that site.

Once you've gotten it online, the README and the source pretty clearly document where to set your recipients. Please note that you do NOT want to do this using a HIDDEN form variable; that's the main reason why MSA's formmail.pl is generally disliked by the larger Perl community.

Because MSA's formmail.pl sends messages to anyone listed in the RECIPIENTS form variable, spammers simply submit requests to your copy of the script to send messages to their victims.

In short, use NMS, not MSA.

Hope this helps...
