Fine, stop trying. Don't make spam a bigger problem. Announce your E-mail
address if you want to be contacted. Period. Problem solved.

(You may need to do set up some E-mail filtering to filter out spam, but that
problem exists in any case, and you should not disturb people who wish to
contact you by making your spam filtering problems their problem.)

You didn't read carefully, or you didn't read the right docs, or you are
trying to set up a CGI script without knowing the basics of it. Start with a
tutorial on it _when_ you later on perhaps have some _real_ use for
scripting.
