I've never seen it on a RaQ2 using Matt Wright's FormMail.pl and someone I
sent my FormMail.pl to is using it with no problem on a RaQ3. When it sends
the mail, it redirects to another page with no problem or hang. Does your
script point to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t? I think I recall that -t possibly
being a problem.
