ASP FormMail, Part I

I'm long been a fan of the
program Matt Wright wrote
called FormMail. Matt wrote
the original in Perl.

Here's Matt's website:

Matt deserves lots of kudos
for the scripts he wrote in
the early days of the web.

Perhaps no script is more
famous than Matt's FormMail
script.

In later years, Matt's script
has undergone much criticism
because of the security problems
it has created.

In particular, spammers are
particularly fond of hijacking
Matt's FormMail script and using
it as a spam relay.

None-the-less, Matt seems to have
been first in this effort and we
owe him a debt of gratitude.

On his site, Matt recommends that
you use NMSFormMail instead. This
is a safer version of FormMail.

Go to Matt's site to read more.

In any case, I'm writing about
Matt's scripts because I think I'd
like to use an ASP equivalent.

That is to say, Matt's FormMail
script was always so easy to
customize.

Surely there must be an ASP
equivalent. This is my thought.

Here's an ASP script that I
hope will replace Matt's
script on IIS servers:

ASP FormMail

I'm going to investigate this
further. In particular, I'm
going to try to figure out
whether or not this script
is safe.

Here's where I continue my
investigation:
