<!--content-->you have to make sure your ISP allows cgi files to be run on there system and in which folder and the shabang line is correct. all from which you ISP can tell you.<!--content-->argh do u know any sites where this workes well so i can see how they did it and develop it from there? i checked the postmail hting from around the world on matt's site but nearly all of them are down and the ones that arent return errors. bear with my lameness
sorry<!--content-->all you will be able to see is the form and not teh formmail.cgi script.not too sure what that will accomplish. it sounds like your server is not setup right to run cgi scripts.<!--content-->
