Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ - FormMail Script

[webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just find this in the script:
# Check Referring URL
&check_url;
 and comment out the call so it looks like this:
# Check Referring URL
# &check_url;

Having said that - look out, check referrers is a security feature.
It would be better to get correct referrer info in there.
I found a couple of customers had moved their websites to other
providers (breaching my copyright) but were still using formmail on my
server. I have modified my formmail script so it forward 40% of their
mail to those guys and trashes the rest (& mail from unknown referrer
gets sent to me).
