Hi James^WTris, > One of the tech guys here, who quite frankly has no clue, > has told me that FormMail has been 'hacked'.
Old versions of FormMail have a lot of problems. I think - but I'm not sure - that these have been fixed in later versions though. I don't think I've seen anything on bugtraq recently, but then again I don't really keep an eye open for holes in CGI scripts I don't use :-) > He offered no further info, but strongly advised me to get > rid of it, and to use PHP mail. If the rest of your site is PHP-driven I'd have to agree with him. Why are you using FormMail anyway? AIUI it's for setting up handlers for "Contact us" pages on websites run by people who have a cgi-bin but no programming knowledge. > He really does talk alot of cobblers, ( I have no idea if PHP Mail is a > product, a function etc?) It's just a function that calls sendmail/qmail/whatever, or whatever the equivalent is on a Win32 system.
