I I tried Formmail Version 1997... but got the error:
"The Server is not allowed...., register server in the server variable."
I did ,using IP,Domainname and Host.Domainname, but could not get it to work.
( I can't remember, mayby I setup the script as USER httpd ,because I had the 32 User
 problem to workaround.)

Fact is many FREE CGI FORMMAIL SCRIPTS have the simple OPEN() command with
a pipe to Mail/sendmail, witch will allowing a Hacker to trick your mailprg. into sending
files (PW) back to them.
One trick is to send/create a faulty Email with an appended commandline that calls the file.
All the info is send back to the hacker as an error message .
Check .... and try to understand exactly what the FREEMAIL SCRIPTS are doing.
