Script to do a form submission to e-mail.

Hello there.

Until recently we were using a free script on our client's site to generate form submissions to send e-mails to our clients. However spammers were apparently able to exploit the code to send spam from our server. I was hoping to get some help either finding a new free code without that exploit vulnerability, or some help setting up a script without that exploit in it.
thanks

To prevent spammers using your form:
- check first to see that your web host blocks the BCC function (best protection).

form mail will do it for you and is configurable to prevent misuse.

to be precise, you should use NMS formmail, not the old mattwright version which is horrendously insecure.
