There really isn't anything wrong with Formmail, except you really should 
hard code the from: and to: addresses, when you can, to keep it from being 
used as a spam machine.  Problems with Formmail usually come from not 
having the path to the server's mail program (sendmail, qmail, etc.) set 
correctly.

For other Perl-based scripts see
