Formamail Script Location

[pjman]

I'm migrating from cPanel to Plesk. I have used cPanel's default formmail script for years. Does Plesk have a default formmail script? If so, what's the standard path to it?

1000 Thanks for any input.

Hi,

No, there's no auto-installed formmail script.

You can get one and just upload it to /whatver/domain.com/cgi-bin but for the love of god please rename it and also make sure it is the very latest version and secure it as best you can. The spammers look for formmail.cgi or formmail.pl and attempt to use it. So call it something else. Anything else. Even if you do manage to get an insecure version you will at least then make it more difficult for the morons to take advantage of it.

Also please consider using phorm (http://www.php-form.net) - a php form to email script which is much more sophisticated.

Faris.
