cgi-wrap looks at the directory name to see how it should run the program see How do I set up Scripts, and then otherwise ignores it. Cgiwrap builds a search path, starting with your cgi-bin directory, and going on to some that OA5 have defined which have common scripts for everyone.

Next it checks each directory in the path to see if the script is there. When it is not found in your own cgi-bin directory, it finds it in OA5's system wide script directory.

If you don't like OA5's script, you can put one of the same name in your own cgi-bin directory and that will be found first.

NB Please don't put in your own version of formmail -- there are *lots* of buggy versions out there, which can be exploited to send spam, and we really do not want them on the server.
