Subject: Re: [WEB400] formMail.cgi or alternatives
From Google I see this formMail.cgi is perl script (which I knownothing about) but I am assuming there is a way to run this
on the iSeries. When I said "dynamic" I meant cgi (like rpg-cgi)
that works with the db2 database...
This other company wants to ftp files of html, plus all the
pictures files,
plus these scripts, and run on the i. User wants a "form-like screen"
to enter a credit app (from anyone). The whole rest of the site is
product advertisement, and company info.
It would seem to me, any "script" language would lack some form of
editing to stop spammers. Apparently there are crawlers looking for this
formMail.cgi to exploit.

Don't you love it when you're put in charge and they tie your hands. :)may be stuck
But, honestly, even if you implemented a CGI application for the email
portion you'd still get some spam. If it's not dynamic, you
either way.simply point it
But, it seems as formmail.cgi is CGI anyhow.. so would you
to another server that is dynamic to run these formmail scripts?
You could always just do Mailto: hyperlinks. :)

Subject: [WEB400] formMail.cgi or alternatives
I have a customer's web site where they contracted a rewrite from
an outside
non-iSeries company, but iSeries will still be the server. This
is not a dynamic site-
all advertising, & I've already lost the arguement to make it dynamic.
They want to use formMail.cgi for allowing web user
to fill in some info (credit app) to email to a company rep.
Quick web search indicates this is a spammer's dream come true.
Anyone implemented this?
Any alternatives (net.data?) or something or any way to make
formMail.cgi secure?
I've been told I'm not part of this project, but I am contracted
to manage the Apache
webserver (which means I did a setup years ago, & I keep the
groups & cume updated
a couple times a year).
