There is a script going around that uses Matt Wrights formmail.pl program to
send SPAM. The script forges the valid referer variable and then sends
several SPAM emails per second. I just got hit by thousands of bounced
messages.:(
An easy fix is to hard code the recipient variable at the beginning of the
program. Then change one or two subroutines to process your new variable
instead of the info contained in the HTML form. Email me if you have any
questions.
