formmail wont work

    Hi all,

    I am having great difficulty getting a formmail contact page working with letshost.ie,
    the coding in the form looks like this:

    <FORM ACTION="http://www.companyname.ie/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" METHOD="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="[EMAIL="info@company name.ie"]info@company name.ie[/EMAIL]">
    <!--INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="info@companyname.ie"-->
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Form Enquiry">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="redirect" VALUE="http://www.companyname.ie/thanks.html"></FORM>



    i downloaded formmail
    Copyright 1995-2002 Matt Wright mattw@scriptarchive.com

    and the only change i made was on the following line:
    @referers = ('scriptarchive.com',companyname.ie',);



    The form wont work and the email that needs to recieve the mail is not the same as the website ie. instead of being info@companyname.ie it is companyname@eircom.net. i believe this can be problamatic.

    any help would be great as i dont have much hair left..

    cheers

    What errors do you get?

    If the eircom.net bit is a problem, in the hosting control panel you could set info@companyname.ie to forward it to the eircom.net account.

    I suggest using the more powerful TecTite FormMail.
