hello,

I've spent about 2 hours trying to find a really good formmail script but I was unable to. Could you suggest me one with the following features:

- allow multiple recipients

- should not be a relayer, therefore it should only send mails to known recipients

- the email addresses of the recipients should NOT be visibile inside the html code, therefore they should be stored in an external file

- perl script would be great


Thanks a lot!
chris

There isn't one.

Actually.. does anybody even know of a really cool form mail because I think the world of form mail is ... well.. not very good.

I use a php one, and its real easy to modify. Why does it have to be perl?

hi, formmail 1.9s seems to be spam safe but it does not allow to hide the email addresses of the recipients (they have to be in the html file). am i wrong or is there a way to get it running the way I want it?

i did check out the readme.... without success

Your right.. if you view source the page you will see the recipients .. can you use a PHP form? Altough they are not as secure as this one.

I, too, am interested in having a secure formmail script without displaying e-mail addresses.

Maybe you or someone here (or someone elsewhere) could write a php script for you that stores the addresses in a flat file or even a database, where the person will never know...

I would offer to write a script, but I'm not good with php...

Any thoughts?
