Scripting/Programming

  • Do you have any banned scripts?
  • Can I use Formmail scripts?
    R:
    These scripts are allowed but there are restrictions on all our 
    servers in order to prevent spammers’ abuse.
    
    The script known as 'Matt's FormMail' is banned on our 
    servers. In addition to this, we do not allow scripts with the 
    filename formmail.php, formmail.pl or formmail.cgi (plus 
    upper/lowercase varients) in order to make things more 
    difficult for automated scanners looking for vulnerable mail 
    scripts. 
    We have automated measures in place to enforce this rule 
    and any attempt to execute scripts with the above filenames 
    will result in an error.
    
    We recommend the use of the script called nms-formmail. 
    Please click here in order to see a tutorial about the setup of 
    these scripts on our servers.
    
    You can also use the formmail script that is available in your 
    cPanel, but has been renamed in order to prevent abuse. 
    Instead of connecting through '/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi' you will 
    use '/cgi-sys/PROTECTED-FormMail.cgi'.
