mail form won't mail

http://www.equitablefinancialgroup.c...%20Qualify.htm

I have everything the way I want it pretty much.

you can fill out the form, submit the form, go to the thank you page after clicking submit but the form don't go to my mailbox.

I've been tring to figure this out all day and nothing. For some reason the first two of them did mail to me. I made some changes but it was only in the feild script, not the mailto script(stuff).

Need some help!!!

Sorry for the duplicate thread but I thought it was different once I got pointed in the right direction.


Thanks,
Naz

We would need to see the source of formmail.cgi to be able to help. You should also set the recipient on the server side. The way it is right now, anyone could send mail to anyone from you. Spammers love open formmail scripts

I'v been doing some reading and got lost when I got here. I looked for @recipients and can't find it to change it if that's even what I have to do(it's not in my source code). Can someone please make sense of this for my dumb A$$.

My only guess is that it's in the code in /formmail.cgi file but I'm not sure if I should changed it and don't even know how if I want to experiment.

Please HELP I'm days into trying to get this to email to me!!!!

((((copied from http://www.scriptarchive.com/readme/...tml#recipients))))
@recipients = &fill_recipients(@referers);
If you wish to only allow e-mail addresses at the domain names in @referers to receive form results, you probably do not need to change this variable. However, if you get any 'Error: Bad/No Recipient' messages when running FormMail, you may have to revisit @recipients and make sure you have correctly listed all domains or configured this variable.
@recipients is the most important variable you need to configure. It is an array of regular expressions defining all valid recipients that can be specified. In order for an e-mail to be sent to the recipient defined in a form, the recipient e-mail address must match one of the elements in the @recipients array.

SIMPLE SETUP:

For the most simple setup, place any domain name that you wish to send form results to in the @referers array. Warning: This allows those domains to also access your FormMail script and utilize it to process their own forms, but likely this is what you intended anyway. If so, you can leave:

@recipients = &fill_recipients(@referers);

I contacted tech support with at IX Webhosting and told them I wanted to be able to receive the formmail at nasworthy-efg@tampabay.rr.com instead of nasworthy@equitablefinancialgroup.com.

Here is their reply.
It is not recommended to post form submissions outside, however there is solution -
you may create forwarding account, e.g. tampa@equitablefinancialgroup.com =>
nasworthy-efg@tampabay.rr.com and put tampa@equitablefinancialgroup.com as destination address in form code.

This is the code in my form, how do I change it to forward to roadrunner?
<form name="formmail" action="/cgi-bin/formmail/formmail.cgi" method="POST">
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="nasworthy@equitablefinancialgroup.com">


I also would like to have multiple receipents for this mailform. All at roadrunner.com


Hope to here from someone soon,
Thanks,
Naz
