HELP !!!! Flash 5 using Matt's formmail.cgi

I am going crazy trying to get this form mail to work.
I have tried every way possible that I know of to get this to work, but, still no luck. All I want to do is "POST" from my Flash form and to be able to send the info to my email, I do not need any type of confirmation or redirects, etc. from the script. I am getting the following ERRORS:

1.) The form attempting to use FormMail resides at $referer, which is not allowed to access this cgi script.If you are attempting to configure FormMail to run with this form, you need to add the following to \@referers, explained in detail in the README file.Add '$host' to your \@referers array.

2.) Error: Request Method
The Request Method of the Form you submitted did not match either GET or POST. Please check the form and make sure the method= statement is

in upper case and matches GET or POST.



3.) Error: Bad/No Recipient
There was no recipient or an invalid recipient specified in the data sent to FormMail. Please make sure you have filled in the recipient form field with an e-mail address that has been configured in \@recipients. More information on filling in recipient form fields and variables can be found in the README file.

4.) Error: Bad Header Fields
The header fields, which include recipient, email, realname and subject were filled in with invalid values. You may not include any newline characters in these parameters. More information on filling in these form fields and variables can be found in the README file.

5.) Error: Blank Fields
The following fields were left blank in your submission form:$missing_field_list These fields must be filled in before you can successfully submit the form.Please use your browser's back button to return to the form and try again.

*Also, I still do not know whether or not to put my actual user name or leave the word "usr" like it is in the script for:
#!/usr/bin/perl
/usr/sbin/sendmail


Sorry, I am soooooooooooooooo confused with this.
Thanks, again, for the help!

Hi -
For what you want to do, try John Callender's mail_form.cgi, which you can get from a quick search...it's less complex, and easily configurable.

The last question you asked is crucial: these are your server paths to the Perl and Sendmail programs. Ask your host - or check your documentation to find out if these are the correct paths.

Good luck,
El
