It also really helps to call it something other than formmail...since
spiders crawl over your pages, and can report the url of a web page that
contains formmail.  I see lots of hits STILL coming into a url that used
to have formmail called over 2 years ago.

I'd like to see that code...even though I'm not running formmail by that
name, I'd like to automate logging which IPs are still trying to call it.
