Without knowing which form mail script it is, it's kind of hard to tell.

1. are you using a FrontPage form??
2. are you sending the email to an address associated with your domain?? e.g.:
username@yourdomain.com

formmail from formmail.com

i have changed the email address in the properties of the form as i do not
have an email address with my domain name.
i have also added a new part for the redirect when the form is sent, but
this to does not work.

Are you using the formmail.pl script, or the service provided by
formmail.com?
If using the script, which version? Early versions have a bug which stops
the redirection working.
See
http://www.scriptarchive.com/faq/formma... (bottom of page)
Also, have you configured the script for your server, and installed it
correctly?

Hi JC,

See http://www.websunl.../sendit/...

The process is as simple as setting up a form.

A word of caution. Matt Wright's form mail is a great script. However, if
improperly set up it is extremely easy to hack. for the purposes of using it as
an anonymous spam forwarder. ( or so I've heard )

my formmail is a CGI file and is in my cig-bin/formmail/ folder, where my
server provider has put it, it is put of one of there services, as they do
not support all frontpage extensions.

i have changed the email address in the form button to my email address as
it was set to a default email address, then tried it.

did not work so i added a new HIDDEN line to where the email address line
is, for the page that is to open after the submit button is hit, this line
is i.e.

recipient and i have a valid email address, a ....@yahoo.co.uk email

return_link_url and i have a valid link as the value for the ulr page to
open.

i have been told that i should be changing something in the FORMMAIL.CGI
file itself?

i am very losts, i need to use this as it is secure and is locked up within
my server and can not be viewed when information is sent, unlike the other
way i am currentley doing it, it is easily accessable to anyone who knows it
is there.

there are passwords and account details and stuff in the form that is
sent.!!!

hope you can help.

thanks

Jason

Take a look at www.rxs-enterprises.com/tests/sendmail/
These pages provide a (very) rough guide to configuring and installing
formmail.
I have tested this on Windows 2003, but cannot test on Unix, since my host
does not support the script.
