so i insert

cgi.myusername.plus.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl

as the url address for formmail that but when i click submit i get the error

[mydomain.cgi.myusername.plus.com...]

cannot be found.Any ideas what it should be or what im doing wrong?

to
[cgi.username.plus.com...] and now i get the 403 error that i dont have authorization to access?.....any help?

your file permissions are wrong.
If im not mistaken, they should be set to 755
Owner should be set to read, write and execute
Group and everyone should be set read and execute only.

change them with your ftp program's file permissions window.

If you unsure about what you are doing you should ask your host for help.
