All versions as of today with the latest update still have security holes for relay(s). Read specs or news out there. You are exposed.

Nasty code and very insecure. Even the supposedly fixed version 1.9 can be hijacked by spammers. Avoid at all costs.

This script is not secure. Anybody who knows how to use it will find that they can use it for their own site and spam people. I have received numerous people spamming me using this script.

The absolute best script for Perl 5.005 or less. It disheartens me that over the past 5 years of using it, it won't work correctly with the newer Perl5.6.0

Worked good for a while. Was easy to setup, but has major problems sending e-mails and required a / next to the @ in the e-mail address by the PERL language. The problem was, sometimes it would send the e-mail to myemail@domain.com and other times it would send it to my myemail/@domain.com. Other than that, the script has lots of features and works well.

Good script. I would give it a 10 except it doesn't allow for sending a copy to the form submitter.

This is the first CGI that I ever successfully set up on my server. It was very easy, and took about 10 minutes. Works great!

A great script. I've used it many times for many purposes - everything from online bookings and user comments to secure forms via SSL. Easy to config, easy to install. Recommended for newer users especially!

This is a script that is so easy and user friendly it is an industry standard. I've seen ISPs offer this as a perk... a MUST HAVE!

Excellent and very easy to use and setup. Copes well with many forms from one or more sites through the script.

Very good script, nice replacement if you can't compile C scripts on your server.

Last week I could not spell CGI. This was my first script to ever set up on my webserver. It was easy even for my newbie self and it works well.

Unbelievable. I was trying to figure out what the problem of another script was. Then I gave up and tried this script. It just worked! No problems at all! Amazing.

Cannot get SMTP or SENDMAIL to work. Checked with host and they said all was fine.

Very easy to setup and use, but needs the ability to write to a flat file (for database use). Does not have an autoresponder, but DOES tell the user which required fields he or she left blank.

Good script. While it doesn't seem to have a lot of features, it's easy to install and configure and works without a problem. It's not surprising that this is the script that all other form scripts are judged by.

Matt Wright (and his scripts) are terriffic. If I were half my age I'd....well, I'd still be too old for him, but I sure do appreciate his work. (Love the Cookbook too!)

A good script for using on multiple forms. Its one failing is not wrapping "long lines" when form contents are mailed to you. This causes problems if your form is being mailed to a novice, and some mail clients cannot wrap long lines or truncate the long lines when printing the mail. If this is a concern, fully test your form script!
