This is old news...I got nailed with the Matt's FormMail.pl hack a couple of years ago...the solution is to use the NMS ("Not Matt's Scripts") drop-in replacement: http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/ AFAIK, the NMS version is imune to these hacks, if implemented properly. On Mon, 7 Feb 2005, Rakesh

Hi Kenneth: But did you change the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail file to point elsewhere? Because it's pointing to the /usr/sbin/sendmail now and it's expecting it as a daemon. Karen On Fri, 04 Feb 2005 15:18:10 -0600, Kenneth Andresen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Filip, > > Thank you for y

We had downloaded the latest anti-spam formmail.pl that has allowedReceipients. However, I think the spammer is violating it by putting the right receipient in the "To" field and then add a lot of Bcc receipients. Anyone knows if there's a formmail version that disallow any Bcc and Cc or at least
