Hi All,
I need some helping getting FormMail to work. I am on the Cancun server at MCHost, and I think I have everything configured correctly on my form at
http://www.consultcanada.ca/downtownres.htm

This is for a Car Rental Company, I was using the MS Frontpage Forms but they werent working very well.

When I hit the Submit button I get a permissions error.. And it gives me also a 404. I have the formmail.cgi script in the right place, but it doesnt seem to be working.

Some help would be vastly appreciated.

Thanks

Your FormMail is missing the opening form tag <FORM>

<form method="POST" action="http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/anyname.cgi">

You need to have the opening tag<FORM> and closing tag </FORM> to work.

Don't forget that formmail.pl is a open to abuse by spammers.
