Thanks much for this. I guess I'll find out pretty soon how much of a 
drop in replacement this is, as claimed.

I'm now trying to used the vuln search to find out if there are any 
reported vulnerabilities to using SendMail, the CPAN alternative to 
sendmail when using FormMail. But you can see my problem, I'm sure... 
AFAICT, the CPAN does not appear in this database.
