Have you checked out the "PEAR settings" in FormMail:

http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/pear_settings.php

If PEAR is installed on your server, you should be able to use that to send mail via SMTP...

Are you talking about a subject line that changes or a set one, that never changes?

I tend to use a set subject which I put in the HTML form, itself, in a hidden field:



<input...

You could probably do this with JavaScript. When they fill out the number of guests, the number of contact fields will appear. I would plan on having a maximum number of guest fields to help keep...

Cool. How were you logging before?

Peace...

Have you read any of the documentation on anti-spam features of FormMail? They are well documented. On one site, I use a CAPTCHA image and on another I use the Reverse CAPTCHA attack detection...

I just submitted your form and didn't get any errors at all. I tried submitting an empty form and saw the page with the cop. Then, I filled it out with bogus info and it got submitted fine and I...

Since you're using plain text templates, the fields in the template are actually part of the file and will always get sent in the message built from the template. I believe FormMail will read the...

I'm currently using Reverse CAPTCHA functionality in FormMail and it's working very well! My question: how often should the "special" field names and values be changed? Or do they ever need to be...

I would like to request adding logging of failed form submissions to FormMail. I know currently FormMail will send an e-mail alert in the event of a failed form submission but if that e-mail message...

I *finally* managed to get logging working with FormMail. All of the info I needed was documented in the FormMail documentation but there is one connection that is currently missing.

The "LOGDIR"...

Thanks. The thing is, NONE of the message contents have any of the form fields in them so I don't know if the e-mail addresses are simply being spoofed or if FormMail is actually being used to send...

Based on what I've read here:

http://www.getnetgoing.com/HTTP-501.html

The HTTP 501 error means the user agent (web browser or other software making the HTTP request) sent a HTTP method the web...

So, I'm currently fighting a spammer using FormMail, I think, to send spam. I currently have the FIXED_SENDER set in the FormMail script AND I have "FromAddr" set in my form.

The spam I'm getting...

Ok, so I now have reverse CAPTCHA implemented on my contact form. We'll see how it goes. Right now, I only have two fields defined, per the instructions I followed, and I might add more later. :)
...

This thread has been a great read, even though I've mostly skimmed it at this point. When I'm ready to give reverse CAPTCHA a try, I'll come back to this thread.

One comment I did have to make is...

Thanks to both of you for the suggestion of looking into using reverse CAPTCHA. I'll give that a shot!

Thanks!

I'm using FormMail 8.29 with a contact form on a site hosted on Yahoo! Small Business hosting. FormMail works fine and the contact form gets sent as desired.

I added the "verifyimg" CAPTCHA image...

This is the way I've done it as well. :)

Peace...

That's also good information to have. We do use the CAPTCHA and I'm surprised at how effective it actually is! :)

Thanks again for your help!

Peace...

Scary! Thanks for the info! :)

I'm running FormMail 8.28 on this particular site and today I received some error messages from FormMail regarding a failed attempt to process a form. Clearly, a spammer is at work but I'm puzzled...

I'm getting the same problem reported above where using

<fmerroritemlist />

results in NO error being displayed in the "bad template" page if the CAPTCHA string was incorrectly entered.

I'm running the latest versions of FormMail and fmbadhandler and I was also getting the 403 error when submitting a form with errors until I changed the 'PUT_DATA_IN_URL' setting to 'false' in the...

Well, I did more testalert testing and found I needed to set the "FROM_USER" parameter and now I'm getting the alerts from FormMail telling me what is wrong.

Yep, this is the problem. So, I'm...

Thanks for the info. I believe I did test with testalert but I'll try that again. I'll also take a closer look at the commented out sections (which are temporary until I get things working and then...
