I have seen this before, I would say yes, someone did, or at least tried to
use your formmail, most probably to send spam.

I would suggest making sure that your formmail is the most recent version,
that or rename formmail.pl to somethingelse.pl and then edit any pages that
use formmail to reflect the new name. That's what I had to do before the new
version of formmail come out.
