formmail spam error

[Gretchen Macdow]

I'm migrating an account from another ISP where I had a custom form using PGP to encrypt and send orders to an email account. I'm setting up PGP again here following the invaluable help threads. To test the setup I installed the generic formmail.pl script and was dismayed to get a "formmail spam restriction" error number 486 Restricted.

I don't have a secure server account set up yet or even a domain so I am using the temp IP address and the cgi-bin in there. Is that the problem? I did enter the appropriate IP in the script @referers security setup but I don't know what the web server is checking to decide to disallow the script.

Hello,

The problem may lie in the attempt to use formmail.pl directly from the cgi-bin, as is noted below:
The script itself has not been banned, however FutureQuest does block access to all of the following formmail locations:

/cgi-bin/formmail (any file extension)
/www/formmail (any file extension)
/cgi-ssl/formmail (any file extension)
And all CaSe Variations of the above, such as
/cgi-bin/FormMail.plThe full details and methods that can be used are located here:

Hope this helps and Welcome to FutureQuest :QTFQuest:
