Is form 2 mail script secure? Can it be used by hackers to get server access.

If you are talking about matts formmail.pl then make sure it is version 1.9 (or later) as versions below this can cause you as much greif as it caused me and I would not wish that on anyone :bawling:

If you are not talking about matts formmail.pl then please ignore this post and I will quietly edge away ;)

Hi,


It depends on what you mean by "secure". Using this kind of script, the data travels from the client's browser to the server, and then from the server to the mail server (can be the same) and then it is delivered thorugh mail. No need to tell you that a lot of people can intercept the data along the way. Even if you use a secure (https) connection to fill out the form, the email is still traveling unencrypted. So if you will be receiving sensitive data, it is not a good solution.
