Just FYI, I fixed the issue by using FormMail from http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml. Works like a charm. Thanks Craig et All.

However, the main site would work just fine (same script) I never did solve the problem, I just went to using PHP instead. I believe that this error has to do with running CGI scripts outside of your docroot. Such as a users directory or something. Apache needs Suexec compiled into it or somesuch to support this. So I don't know if it was permissions, or what...I just didn't have the time to figure it out.... Anyway, if you are using Matt's Formmail script, you should check out: http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml for their 'nms FormMail' Their scripts are much more secure, and actually, they have an improved FormMail script there called TFMail. We use the nms FormMail right now, but I am looking to switch to the TFMail when I get a chance. -- Craig Daters (craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) Systems Administrator West Press Print Communications 1663 West Grant Road Tucson, Arizona 85705 (520) 624-4939 (520) 624-2715 fax www.westpress.com -- Please note: It is the policy of West Press that all e-mail sent to and from any @westpress.com address may be recorded and monitored.
