Re^3: CGI and e-mail

in reply to Re^2: CGI and e-mail
in thread CGI and e-mail

not relevant to the stated problem, but generally relevant:

there is no (or I don't see any) check for email adresses like my@address</etc/passwd
you don't check whether flock succeeds, the script goes on happily anyway
possibly more...

relevant:

perhaps /usr/lib/sendmail isn't accessible to the CGI, e.g. if the web server runs in a chroot
perhaps the mail is sent, but the server doesn't permit relaying or wants authentication
possibly more...

I concur with the anonymous monk's suggestion. Although NMS FormMail is old (and TFMail, downloadable from the same page, only slightly younger), in this case this translates to "mature" rather than "insipid". For a recent discussion see perl formmail question.	[reply]
