Re: FormMail Help!

Dear Gwen:

the first thing that jumps to me is in the header part of the script where
it calls for the mail program ($mailprog=)

looking at ValuWeb's Technical Support FAQ's, i believe the correct value to
put here is:

$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail -t';

instead of:

$mailprog = '/advresum/lib/sendmail -t';

let me know if this helps
