Many thanks Peter,
My hosting company have said this is nothing to do with the FormMail.pl
(they have recently checked and replaced it) and have suggested that someone
is using a bot that automiatically runs the HTML code of my web form. Are
you saying that if my FormMail.pl file was secure in the first place, the
whole bot thing would not be possible?
Regards,
Paul
