I am not going to assist you to get Matt's original scripts working. Hopefully you will take this piece of advice -> Download the secure version of Formmail from The NMS part of Matt's site. There is a README. If you READIT you will find everything clearly documented. The user servicable parts are at the top of the script. Read the readme, and follow the instructions.

If you have not programmed anything ever be aware that computers are fussy. THIS is not the same as This ie case matters. 'This' is OK but 'This is missing a closing quote. In general every ; , . => ( ) 'quote' is important so follow the examples exactly

The CGI Help Guide will help you as well. It will tell you how to find the syntax error you have introduced through your edits.
