RUN! Do not walk! to the nearest source for an alternate to formmail. NMS has already been mentioned, TFMail (from London Perl Mongers, IIRC) is another.

formmail.pl is notorious for its security failings. And if TKI is from the same source (Matt's), get rid of it too!

Update: Turning to a question more closely related to the one you actually posed:

There's very little efficiency or true economy in using the main domain's cgi-bin directory for the subdomain's business. OTOH, there are many ways that doing so can create issues or problems you don't need. For an almost trivial example, you won't be able to readily distinguish between mail sent from one site and mail from the other without extra effort (revising your form, for example).

Your server's setup (your own or a service?) may also be a problem. If you're using a service, ask their un-helpful desk; if it's your own, you probably need to explore the delights of the relevant (Apache?) documentation. In fact, information about the server might make it possible for a Monk to offer more substantive advice.
