The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problem with FormMail (Matt's Scripts)

Asked by joedunn in CGI Scripting

Tags: , ,

I am trying to get FormMail to work properly.  It seems very easy.

Here is a test link:

Here is the text of the FormMail.pl file: (the part that gets edited)

# $mailprog defines the location of your sendmail program on your unix       #
# system. The flags -i and -t should be passed to sendmail in order to       #
# have it ignore single dots on a line and to read message for recipients    #

$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t';

# @referers allows forms to be located only on servers which are defined     #
# in this field.  This security fix from the last version which allowed      #
# anyone on any server to use your FormMail script on their web site.        #

@referers = ('summitre.com','fiberpipe.net');

# @recipients defines the e-mail addresses or domain names that e-mail can   #
# be sent to.  This must be filled in correctly to prevent SPAM and allow    #
# valid addresses to receive e-mail.  Read the documentation to find out how #
# this variable works!!!  It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.                         #
@recipients = &fill_recipients(@referers);

# ACCESS CONTROL FIX: Peter D. Thompson Yezek                                #
# @valid_ENV allows the sysadmin to define what environment variables can    #
# be reported via the env_report directive.  This was implemented to fix     #
# the problem reported at http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1187              #

@valid_ENV = ('REMOTE_HOST','REMOTE_ADDR','REMOTE_USER','HTTP_USER_AGENT');

# Done                                                                       #

When I try and submit the form I get an INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.  I can't figure it out.  Any ideas?
