i can`t imagine ? i don`t know formmail, but the normal process for a
form mail processor is

- verifying if the string could be a valid address (regular expression)
- calling sendmail to queque the mail and exiting if sendmail did not
return an error; all scripts i know don`t verifiy the delivery process

i recommend alienform2; template driven, multi user capable (useful for
isps or the function cmopollux wants it to do), customizable to fit into
your website, referrer checking, no known security bugs.
