FormMail.

TV Science Hosting provide Matt Wright's FormMail program for sending HTML form data via e-mail. Typical applications include: Feedback Forms, entering registration details etc.

Two versions are available: /cgi-bin/formmail.pl and /cgi-bin/FormMailCSV.pl. FormMailCSV.pl is a enhancement developed by ourselves which presents the given data in CSV format ready for importation into a spreadsheet or database.

Full documentation can be found at http://www.scriptarchive.com/. Our version differs slightly in that only a destination address of cgi-forms@yourdomain.co.uk is permitted (an anti-spam measure). If you wish to use FormMail, tell us the destination(s) for cgi-forms@yourdomain.co.uk.

One very important point to note is that the field called "email" is now a required element. Although not needed by FormMail itself, e-mail relays may require a valid return e-mail address before agreeing to forward the mail message (another anti-spam measure). You should thus include this code in your form:

A problem with this method is that if the form filler makes an typographical or spelling error with the e-mail address, then the form data may still not be delivered.
Here is an alternative solution:

If your form filler does not have an e-mail address to provide, a suitable default address must still be submitted with the form. This can be done by adding the following snippet to your HTML form:

This will allow your form filler to supply an e-mail address which need not be correct as it won't be checked for validity.

Here is a simple example form with e-mail address. Here is another without an e-mail address. Download either and customize to your requirements.

Make sure any spam filtering software in the delivery path allows e-mails generated by FormMail to pass!
