I have been using a formmail from http://www.tectite.com/ for a couple
of months. It is free, easy to set up and you can munge the email
address so spammers cannot use them easily.

I use forms for several reasons on a couple of sites and only the fields
that have an entry are sent. Fields can also be required so that the
form will only be sent to the webmaster in the event (a) there are
missing required fields and (b) there is an error in the script. So far
the only errors I have encountered is when I mess up on the munging of
email addresses and the form cannot find a valid recipient address.
