Forms

Adam,

I think you need to go into formmail and change your referers array to read like this:

@referers = ('worldwidemart.com','206.31.72.203','candcwireless.com', '209.240.138.84');

That should take care of your problem. Let me know if it doesn't.

Adam,
It's not your form that you have to alter, it is your .cgi script (mailform.cgi). If you post your script here so it can be seen, the guys here will be able to point out what you need to correct, I'm sure it can easily be sorted out by the gurus here.(That is if johnnyboy hasn't solved your problem for you already)
Good Luck.

Ian

Hey,

I am kinda confused on how to change that...What do you mean go into my form mail?

All i was given i believe was the following:

<form action="http://www12.tierranet.com/candcwireless.com/cgi-t/mailform.cgi" method=POST>
<input type=hidden name="to" value="[email protected]">
<input type=hidden name="redirect"
value="http://www.candcwireless.com/thankyoupage.htm">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="C&C Wireless Customer Service">

Adam,
You should have been given a .cgi script as well:
<form action="http://www12.tierranet.com/candcwireless.com/cgi-t/mailform.cgi" method=POST>
Where is that script, that is what you need to edit or post here, not your html form that you have entered above. If you do not have the .cgi script, then your form is useless.

Adam,

Open up formmail.cgi in note pad and make the changes I recommended earlier to the script. Formmail requires that you list the refers in an array. Keeps moral-less people from 'borrowing' your server to send mail. That is the error you are getting when you submit the form. It thinks you're trying to 'borrow' the mail service from the server. If you make the modification I listed previously, you will give yourself permission to use formmail.cgi

Re-check my first post, I found a minor error.

Adam,

I agree with johnny and Ian, its just a matter of adding your own domain as a referer.

The script is even telling you that in its error message.

Just download the existing script "mailform.cgi" from your server via FTP, into a newly made directory, so the copy already on your machine somewhere can serve as a backup. Open it in notepad or some other editor. Using "search" or "find", look for the occurance of this text: "@referers" (without the quotes). You should find a line like this:

@referers = ('worldwidemart.com','206.31.72.203');

Assuming you will be calling the script from the domain wsdspecialist.com like you have set it up, replace it with

@referers = ('www.wsdspecialist.com','wsdspecialist.com');

Save it. Upload via FTP right over the existing copy on your server, and then it should work.
