J,
Need some more info. What version of formmail arer you using? What is your experience in designing a web form? Have you read the instructions for installing and using formmail? Does your ISP allow you to use formmail?

Try replacing Matt's FormMail script with the nms FormMail script. Even Matt, on his own site, recommends using the nms version instead of his own.

i'm sorry for sounding stupid but this one looks more puzzeling.
this is my form is it ok.
"<form method="post" action="http://www.feel4real.co.uk/cgi-bin/formmail.pl">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="recipient" value="me@feel4real.co.uk">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="subject" value="From website">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="redirect" VALUE="http://www.feel4real.co.uk/thanks.htm">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="required" value="email,name">
<label for="name">Name</label> <input type="text" id="name" class="input-box" /><br />
<label for="e-mail">E-mail</label> <input type="text" id="e-mail" class="input-box" /><br />
<label for="textarea">Comments</label><TEXTAREA NAME="comments" COLS=20 ROWS=3 id="e-mail" class="input-box"></TEXTAREA>
<input type="submit" value="submit" class="submit-button" />
</form>

then i put the formmail.pl in cgi bin and set it to 755?
so what d i change in the formmail?
