hi andrew,

thanks for all your work in the recent years! i love your formmail as it easy and really good for modifications.

i was missing some features:

1. an easy anti-spam measure. integrated a litte calculation that has to be solved for email to be sent. no spam on my http://ff-webdesigner.de/kontakt-webdesignagenturen.html since 2 years. as easy as possible, still effective. simply put a new input field "spamcheck" into your form, write a little calculation in front and set up formmail spamcheck result inside the php.

Dear,

I want to make PHP form. But as domain facility is not available then how could I make sure that my form is working. I want to create and get the output in my PC. How could it possible??
Waiting for your response.

Hi, I'm trying to use formmail Classic v1.07.2 on a Debian GNU/Linux Server. I've got the $referers array setup correctly as far as I know,

$referers = array('grizfirestarters.com', 'www.grizfirestarters.com', 'gmail.com', 'google.com', 'www.google.com');

// $recipient_array format is $recipient_array = array('sometext'=>'email@example.com','asdf'=>'email2@example.com');
$recipient_array = array('a8bau4alsfznb5boqzrgsavd6tcst740'=>'____________@gmail.com');

and the formmail script says the mail has been sent. but it is not showing up in my inbox.

Hullo,

I wasn't satisfied with the available options for recipient_array. Spammers have been aggressively targeting my domains and are getting pretty good at figuring out how to bypass my contact forms, but I didn't want to be hostile towards my users/clients and demand a captcha.

So I've modded PHPFormMail to generate the recipient keys dynamically.

Here are two example forms that use the modified script.

The simplest version just generates a new key for every hour, so that the form can't just be harvested and posted to repeatedly.

Hi, I'm running a new install of WAMPserver on a windows machine acting as localhost using PHPformmail Classic v1.07.2.

I had another problem with my php.ini that I was able to fix by searching in the forum, but I could not find the information I needed on this one (which cropped up when I fixed the other one).

when my form submits the data, phpformmail returns the error message:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\staab\formmail.php on line 451

Hi Andrew,

I have installed phpformmail on two websites and I am receiving spam messages through both sites. One in particular is www.kazed.com.au, now someone has been on the site and made some updates and the form on the index page doesn't work. Yet the spam emails are coming through as if they have been through the site. I have renamed the original file, so perhaps the spammers are picking up on something else. I use the senders email in the reply field - would this have a bearing on the code being spammed?

I have an example email:

Hi. I love this script. NMS formmail doesn't hardly work on web hosts anymore so this is a refreshing replacement. One thing I've noticed is that many web hosts now replace the From: header with a bogus addy to their own server rather than use the email provided on the form. I'm sure this is to stop some sort of spam relaying or harvesting via form scripts, which is fine. Problem is, my inbox shows a bunch of emails with the exact same From: To: and Subject: so I have to click through them all to find a specific person or comment again.

Hi,

If you are using PHPFormMail on multiple websites then you may be interested in my new blog post. It is about how to share the same PHPFormMail script and HTML form code on all the sites on your server.

I have been receiving an awful lot of spam from my online form lately, and I have read the posts on trying to prevent this but unfortunately my PHP skills are weak, and a lot of the info is over my head.

Therefore I have tried to create a regular expression check using the _regex form field, however this field/check seems to want to throw an exception no matter what I put in to the check. I even used the example given in the docs to check for date format and it didnt work.

Has anyone been able to get the _regex field to work?

I'm having trouble with setting up php formmail on my site. I'm using globat.com. I created an email form and set up formmail.php to deliver to my account, but when I send the mail, it never arrives. Help.
