cgi script email form on your contact page to send spam from your domain?

I got a spam abuse email and have never sent a spam in my life. And a little bit ago some dude emailed me yelling at me to remove his email from my list.

Mailers are exploitable but most likely someone is spoofing your email address.

someone can just put your email as the 'from' adress in the spam...

I get spam complaints (emailed to me direct, not official from host/upstream) from people who get to my site via a reseller's popup advertising, LOL!

well according to the header I saw it is from my mail server

I was wondering if it might be my very old cgi/perl form mailer I have been using. I should just install a updated php form.

Specialy if your using matt writes script. I would get that updated asap, might be a good idea to take it offline until you install the new one.
