No. They are attempting to use the formmail script www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html If you don't have formmail installed, then you these log entries should be 404's and you don't have anything to worry about. If you do have Formmail installed, then you should have it configured the way the documentation recommends, to limit who it can be used to send mail to. > If so, how would I know if they were sucessful? Do the log entries have 200 status codes? Aengus +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
