Formmail problem - @recipients error

Hi, I have used dreamweaver to create my contact.htm page. In the code I have added:

 

  <form action="/cgi-bin/formmail" method="POST" id="ContactForm">
  <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="myemail@btconnect.com">
  <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="mysubject">
  <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="email" VALUE="postmaster@mydomain.co.uk">

 

I have then used the plug in script in the website centre to add the formmail. I entered the recipient as my email address and also added a name for the email subject. I then clicked install and the file was inserted into the cgi-bin folder.

 

When I fill in my contact form on my website I get the following error:

 

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.

Please can anyone help me. I have tried various things but no joy.

 

Thanks

The recipient's address must be a valid e-mail address of the domain name of the site !

Hi,

 

I have installed Matt Wrights formmail V1.9 and copied the script it generates into my form (created in Dreamweaver) and nothing happens. Has anybody got any instructions on how to set this up? There is a tab of optional items and no instructions on what to do with them or what they are.

 

Thanks
