What is wrong with my form-to-email script at http://www.lewiscountypublichealth.com/feedback.html ?
3 comments so farI’ve configured numerous form-to-email scripts with what at least appeared to be pre-programmed CGI scripts. Gate.com is the hosting company and I utilize the Unix platform. All coding in HTML. Thank you for your help!

The problem is your form script doesn’t exist.
This particular form is on a windows server, which might explain why it doesn’t work. Your error message says it, but I confirmed it by checking your headers at:
I am not an expert by any means but I took over a web site that had some real big problems with forms. Then, when I did get them working (horror of horrors!) I found bot spam filling out these forms can actually be more prolific than email spam.
I ended up using PHP and incorporating captcha graphics. See for that. It has worked out perfect for me so far.
Email is sent to any of about a dozen specific individuals without exposing thier email addresses to the world at large.
