Formmail Version : 1.01 (12-10-2003)
IIS Windows 2000

I listed absolutely every domain that my server uses in the valid referrers= space.

I still get an error, "invalid referrer".

Is this there somewhere else to look for this problem?

Thank you

What is the url of your form?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...but I'm getting the same error as the person above. I've put every domain in.

Thanks,
BobbyBurbank

P.S. http://www.bobbyburbank.com/ is the URL

I too have this problem but only 1 out of 5 of my website visitors experience the "Invalid Referrer" problem.

Hi all,

I nottice this error is giving only if i have my norton internet security enabled.

Can this be fixed to use with a firewall enabled?

Thank you in advanced.

Carlos.

This was extremely frustrating because I never got the error, only web site users. Notice I said it "was" frustrating because I fixed the problem. It takes out the security of keeping other people from using your email form for their own web sites, but how many people do that anyway. So, here is a way to fix it, just understand that it takes away from it's intended purpose (to keep invalid web sites from using your form.)

In the L10FmX.php file, after the "Do not edit below" line (which is a good idea generally) simply take out the 4 lines that say:

if(!in_array($a,$validReferrers)) {
print "$pageHdr<p class=err>Invalid Referrer '$a'</p><p>Referrer does not have permission to access this LevelTen Formmail script.<p>For help on this issue, see <a href='http://www.leveltendesign.com/L10Apps/Fm/help_troubleshooting.php#invalidReferrer?hct=L10Fm-ErrMsg' target=_blank>LevelTen Formmail troubleshooting</a>$pageFtr";
exit;
}

This will make every address a valid referrer because it will not check for it.
