FormMail.pl no longer working on SH131?

**Sentinel** · April 16th, 2009, 10:03 AM

I have a FormMail.pl on SH131 that has been working fine for years, but yesterday I tested it and it failed. It's not working on all my websites that are on that server. It appears that it has worked but I never get the email from it.

I have the exact same FormMail.pl set up the exact same way on 2 other servers here and they are still working fine. I checked the permissions (chmod) and they are correct.

My guess is that this server has been updated lately and something changed. I know that when I first installed my FormMail I had to have it approved and permission was given to use it. Could it be that the server was upgraded and by default permission was denied, and so the setting has to be allowed again?

Thanks but oddly enough it seems to be working now. I even got the emails I tested yesterday. Weird. It took a day to get them but when I try it today I get them immediately. You guys must have fixed something.

Oh well thanks anyways. Seems to be working correctly now.

I had a lot of problems with Formmail a while ago. I decided to just use a service to process my forms and it's been a blessing. I use these guys: FormMail Hosting - Web Form to Email Processing. They do everything the regular formmail script(s) do plus store all the submissions in MS Excel format which is a nice plus.
