I've been using "Alien Form" for years now as a form script but it just *stopped working*.
Other sendmail scripts on the server work, but this one doesn't anymore.
Is anyone else here working with this script and having issues?

99% of the time, these problems are caused because your host has finally disabled register globals and your script depends on them to be on....
Time to find a new formmail script or adapt the one you have.

Yes, I've found a new one - I just *loved* how easy this one was to set up *and* send customized emails from.
From the wording of your post I think you're saying that disabling register globals is a good thing. Right?

Yup...nothing but security issues with them on :)

More or less.
Request data injected as variables into your code are not a security issue by definition but can cause potentially critical security problems if used without care (mostly by not having a proper initialisation). Please read more about it at http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
