------------------------
FormMail is a special script designed to allow you to send email
messages based on the input from an HTML form on your Web site.

The original FormMail script was first made available at Matt's Script
Archive. If you are using this version on any of your html pages, you
are vulnerable to a number of significant security holes that allow
malicious users to relay messages through the server. 
------------------------

Much more at the URL listed above.  Noteworthy: this article only
mentions that the original version had vulnerabilities.... So maybe the
most recent version has been plugged?

Further looking turned up this:

----------------------
upgrade to the newest version (1.92) to eliminate security holes in the
previous versions 
----------------------

HTH,

Casey
