Quick fix:

FILESTOFIX=`cd /home/sites;find | grep -i formmail`

to ignore case and extensions, since formmail can and often is
capitalized as "FormMail" and may or may not of either .pl or .cgi (or
nothing) after it.

Don't delete it; rename it so it can't be used, to something like:

mv  $i $i.xxxxxx

so you can check it later to make sure it's not something you shouldn't
have deleted.  And let your users know where they can get a safe one, so
you won't lose clients.

(We've got a safe one available via anonymous ftp at ftp.nobaloney.net.)
