No, not the 'admin', 'cause he belongs to the group 'wheel', ie he has
access to nearly everything. Better use

chwon httpd.httpd

It should be possible to run this with (at least)

chmod 711

In case of unexpected errors, ssh in as admin an run this formmail script
from shell. Any errors will be reported:

./formmail.cgi (or .pl)

No output?- fine
