Full application details

MailForm, however is written in C in an effort to make the CGI execute faster, thereby putting less strain on the web server hosting MailForm. To execute a PERL script, the PERL program must load, parse and compile the script, and then execute it. It has to do that each time a request is made to execute the program.

MailForm can provide simple logging of requests made to it, by default it uses the syslog user/info facility. You can change the syslog facility used to log requests by setting the -DLOG_FACILITY option in the Makefile. Also, if your system does not run syslog for some reason, you can hame MailForm log directly to file by removing the -DSYSLOG option from the Makefile. Currently MailForm is hard-coded to write to /var/log/mailform.log when not using syslog. If you don't care about logging, logging can be disabled entirely by specifying the -DNOLOG option in the Makefile. All these options are described fully in the Makefile. MailForm also can be built with support for Open Market's FastCGI interface.
