Well, I figured it out. There is (was) a HUGE security hole in
FormMail.pl which allows mail to be sent with a blank referer, either
using a POST or a GET. It was fixed a day or 2 ago in version 1.9,
which hadn't yet been ported to NT. I hacked my NT version 1.6 to
include the new security features of 1.9 (UNIX). If anyone is using
FormMail version earlier than 1.9, along with DevMailer, I'll be glad
to send you the version I've got. You can now specify valid domains,
and/or e-mail addresses that mail can be sent to. Any others return
an "empty recipient" error.

If you want to play with it:

Emter any e-mail address @twcreations.com, or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and it should go through. Anything else,
forget it.
