It may be a big of a blessing that FormMail won't work for you... (I wonder
if FormMail.cgi is the same as FormMail.pl?)

FormMail has a big security error in it that allows anyone to pass junk mail
through it via your server.  The 'Check Referrer' routine doesn't stop this,
either.

What you should/can do is code in the recipients in the part of the code
that generates the mail, and at any part where the value for 'email' is
assigned.  And, rename the script to something other than FormMail.pl or
FormMail.cgi, so people who've written script-hunting programs won't find
your FormMail and exploit it.
