Just how exact does the setokurl need to be? The readme file seemz to indicate you simply list the domain name (with and without the www) and the ip address. Seemz I've just experienced a problem regarding case sensitivity in the URL. Looking at my logz tonight, I noticed the Bizmail form being called, but I didn't receive the usual notification message. Upon further testing using Netscape Communicator 4.78, I found that the URL address will hold case sensitivity. For example, Netscape 4.78 will use the URL as you type it ... www.YourDomain.com or www.YOURdomain.com but newer versions of NN and IE seem to alwayz transform the URL to lower case letters. The form worked fine in these newer browsers, but yielded a setokurl error message in NN 4.78. Attempting to write every combination of case sensitivity for the domain name would be a nightmare, so I temporarily disabled the setokurl feature. Do you have any experience or suggestions regarding this matter?

Actualy it was a realy good point that never came up before. Definatly a fix for the next version. With the way Biz Mail Form is setup, setokurl's does not realy need to be used. It is just an extra. With v1.9 Spamers can not use your form any way, which is the main purpose of that. The only other reason to use it is if you are running an order form on your site, and you do not want people ordering changing your order form and posting it back to your site. Seth

I went back and fixed the problem. Just re download v1.9 and then just re-upload bizmail.cgi. Seth
