Re: FormMail.pl

Okay.  But in the case of a spammer, my server would either 1) start using a
new script, or 2) leave it up to me to use whatever script...
... Which could take care of the problem, while also maintaining the ability
to do sendmail on my website...
... Right?
(My appologies... I don't know the details of scripting and stuff like
this.)
Thanks,
