According to the script at: http://www.l-c-u.com.ar/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi
which says:

FormMail-Clone
This is FormMail-clone, a clone of FormMail.cgi. It is a clean room version 
for legal purposes (a less restrictive liscense), but should behave the 
exact same way as Matt Wright's Original, but contain none of his code.

it isn't the same script as: http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html


It is nice to see that Matt Wright has finally updated FormMail to be less 
SPAM friendly, but there have been a few more secure alternatives around 
for a while - there's even a link to 'NMS' FormMail on the Script Archive page.
