A replacement for a formmail cgi
Does anybdody know of a decent php replacement for matt's formmail cgi? I need to set up some sort of mail form, but I don't really have time to do a whole lot of configuration. I need one that will just work with very little configuration.

Can you use d11's SwiftMailer? Not sure that is has the same fundamentals, but might be easy enough to port formmail to a PHP version.
On a side note, has anyone ever done that? I mean, I have seen this question asked here before. You would think at some point someone would have ported formmail to PHP.
EDIT | OK, I searched Google for 'CGI FormMail PHP Port' and the first hit was this page...
Not sure if it is worth anything.

What sort of protection do you want? I was considering making a spam checker plugin but it will (in my idea of how it works) require php to be able to run shell commands (a perl script). The idea is that mail is passed through spamassassin and the score is checked against a level you set. If the score is higher than a certain threshold it mail will be dropped. Haven't got time to do this for a few days but is this something that would be a suitable plugin? I could see it used in two ways.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:I haven't tried the one you just posted, but I tried about 4 others and all of them were horrible. For some reason one of them just didn't work... couldn't figure out why. I'll try the one you just posted.
EDIT: that one has almost no protection against spammers
1. As a testing tool for seeing how likely legitimate mail is likely to be blocked as spam
2. When used in forms on web pages where the general public can post.
