The best thing you can do for yourself is to get this person to reconsider
using formmail. Most versions have gaping holes in them that will allow you
to send email to anybody, from anybody, without any referral checking or
anything and because the script runs on the same machine as your MTA it's
going to go. Some patient spammers have sent upwards ot 100,000 emails
using insecure formmail - this is not hearsay...it happened on one of our
servers.

Subject: [Exim] FormMail.pl
Do you know what changes are necessary within the widely popular script
FormMail.pl?
http://www.formmail.com/formmail.html
I am helping a customer migrate webservers and the new host is using an
Instagate EX2 with EXIM running for it's MTA. The "Interface" section
states that I can just replace "/usr/sbin/sendmail" with "/usr/sbin/exim"
however that is not working. I am sure there are others out there who are
running formmail with EXIM.
If someone is using Matt's Script Archive "FormMail.pl" with EXIM I would
love to see the modified script you used or any documentation.
Thanks,
- John
