Hi.
My webmaster quit on me and I've been trying to run www.example.com w/o a lot of web experience (not a surprise if you see the site). Everything was fine with the site but now I'm having trouble receiving emails from the formmail application on the site.

For example. if someone fills out a form on www.example.com I'm not receiving the emails to the specified address in the coding. I've tested out this email address (as well as all addresses at *@www.example.com) and they all seem to work.

Any suggestions? I could really use your expertise!

Thanks

1) The terms of service do not allow posting of personal urls, etc.

2) Look for the following line in the source code of the page
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
This is located about forty lines from the end. It appears to be an error and should not exist. The actual form is called Form1 (note the upper case F) and is declared near the top.

There may be other faults - try feeding the page to a validator - [validator.w3.org...]

Kaled.

Not seeing the url... some shared hosts delete older compromised versions of formmail from their servers. Could be the formmail script no longer exists in your cgi-bin folder? If so you will need to upload a newer version.
