I noticed that some search engines (or just a few people?) are looking for formmail.cgi or formmail.pl in cgi-bin driectory. This happens so often, from different addresses, looking for mixed capital and not capital letters of FormMail.cgi or pl.
It seems they want to find a formmail cgi, and get access to a form mailer, so they can send spam emails from website.
Fortunately I have not to afraid about others spamming from my site, but this is interesting hacking or spamming action...
We should be aware of these actions.
Did anybody else find similar occurences in his webserver error log?
