This file, because of it's name, gets flagged, because it's "common" and open to abuse by hackers and the like. When it gets flagged, the name get's changed to "mail.pl.contactcustomersupport".
Basically, the script stops working (naturally), and I have to change the name back. This occurs atleast once a day. Is this common convention for a webhost?
On that note, my hosting provider has asked me to change the name of that file, however, it will obviously effect the entire program.
My question is this - if i change the name of the mail.pl file to lets say, envelope.pl - and i change ever previous reference in every other file from mail.pl to envelope.pl, will the script keep working fine?
It seems like an obvious questoins, but i just want to make sure. And in that context, is there any utility out there (please stick me) that will let me change all references, in all files, from mail.pl (100+) to envelope.pl without having to go and manually edit each file?
Thanks everyone for your help.
Andrew.

Yes, if it leaves the webhost open to spam relay actions.

it's the best $27 I EVER spent on software! EVER!
EXACTLY what i was looking for. In about 5 minutes since you have posted this, I have done what has needed to be done, and it works great. No more flagging of the script for me!
I'm going to register this right now, must of saved me hours of time going in and finding ever instand of the "mail.pl" file.
Thanks again
Andrew.
