has anyone got Matt's FormMail clone to work.
With the old CGI mail I had a link embedded in Flash that said
http://www.website.com/cgi-bin/cgiemail/message.txt  ",0,'POST'
where the message.txt was the file used to hold the e:mail message and substitute the variables. Would the code be the same or similar, ie/ replacing the cgiemail bit?

ta, I waded through that and there's no real world example of how to use it 
The problem with cgiemail was that it could be found in HTML and then used? is this case or is there something deeper? If its embedded in Flash then it wouldn't be found by a robot or similar?

Most of the exploits regarding email scripts have been sorted server side by us.
A really (really!) simply form:
<FORM NAME=test ACTION=/cgi-sys/formmail.pl METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=recipient VALUE=email@domain.com>
Enter your Name: <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=name><br>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>

ta, and the Formmail.pl must be in the cgi-sys root or of the subdomain?

It already is, cgi-sys is something you don't have access too but you can still use (if that makes any sense!)

yeah 
thing is I don't want an HTML form, that will be done in Flash and then the fields passed to FormMail to process and create the e:mail based on a .txt file. like the cgiemail does. I can't see anywhere that it can do it

Premature end of script headers: /home/bigzed0/public_html/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl

Shouldn't you be using cgi-sys ?

ooh, well now I get no error messages but no e:mail either. Does this mean a change to the .pl file? I read in the notes that I have to tell it where the sendmail folder is and that is in usr/sbin and I think the default is usr/bin?

If you're using cgi-sys there should be no reason to define the location of sendmail. Remember the location is:
http://yourdomain.com/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi
