View Full Version : Access Denied Usage Exceeded with Formmail

New ot AS.org. What a great rerource. I've been looking through the forums and have a problem with formmail that doesn't appear to be resolved in the archives however.

Basically, I'm using a very simple (one field) form to send to a shared PERL formmail script (Matt's, v.1.6). The problem is that I get a message back from the script stating "Access Denied Usage Exceed" and no email ever arrives. I've tried various methods of getURL, LoadVariables with POST and GET and none seem to work.

I can tell when I'm using getURL with the GET command that the variables are being passed, however some of the characters sent are different than in my HTML form (which works fine). For example,

recipient in Flash is: emailaddr%40host%2Ecom
recipient in HTML is" emailaddr@host.com

I think that the script might be having problems processing the different characters here and therefore is denying my request. Anyone else experience this or have any ideas? Thanks.

Here's an update....

I've discovered that if I use Mozilla instead of IE6 the getURL command works fine... However, in IE6 I get the same "Access Denied" message.

Now I'm really confused.....
