Some time ago I had given the job of re-writing formmail to a buddy of mine
who wanted to learn how to do cgi coding.

He worked on it for a while, then decided a full re-write was necessary.
This is what he came up with;

http://www.glass-castle.com/joeyform

It works based on the usual hidden input types, has ip/domain security and
requires cgi-lib.pl.  I don't believe it has a problem with date creation.
I checked the code and it appears that it'll make a "xx/xx/00" date. I think
it's system dependant, as most apps are.

Other than it being written in perl (and perl on NT is a resource hog), I
think this program beats the hell out of most other free form mailers.

I hope this helps.
