What scripts are available already?This is a version of the original formmail script. The variables are the ones you would expect, but you can only send mail to addresses in your own domain, so it is only useful for feedback, taking orders and so on. It only confirms to the user on the web, rather than sending them mail.
These restrictions are a side-effect from fixing many of the known exploits that hackers have developed to abuse the standard formmail script. Do not install the standfard formmail.pl in your cgi-bin directory

If you want to be sure of the sender's mail address you would be better to use a mailto: METHOD= on your FORM
These scripts are designed to get some somple contact information to make sure you can properly reply to enquiries. The scripts record the contact information in a log that we can print off for you. They do not record the enquirey. These scripts take 3 optional parameters to make them fit in with your colour scheme Data Protection The information provided on the form forces an explicit choice as to whether the contact information can be used other than to reply to the query. This choice is also recorded, and can be used as the start of opt-in mailings, though you should try to validate that it really was the user who made the entry, rather than someone maliciously filling in the user's address in an effort to flood them with unwanted e-mail.
