If you're using Matt Wright's FormMail script, you are opening up 
your server to become a free-for-all for spammers all over the 
internet. This script is easily exploited - search the archives for 
alternatives or patches.
If you insist on using this script on your server, make sure that you 
chmod the script to 755, that you have uploaded it in ASCII format as 
the site administrator, and that your path to perl (the first line in 
the script) is set to /usr/bin/perl.
Your path to Sendmail, btw, is /usr/sbin/sendmail.

HTH...
