I'm afraid you're wrong. Cgiemail may be a compiled executable or it may be a script in a dir that's defined by the server to hold executables. Unix boxen use invisible file permissions to define whether something is executable. The cgi extension is sort of a kluge for poorly secured servers.<!--content-->Originally posted by ray326 <br />
