Some of the 404 (page not found) page requests on pell today. All of them are POST requests, oddly enough:
/cgi-bin/BFormMail.pl /cgi-bin/FormMail.cgi /cgi-bin/FormMail.pl /cgi-bin/cgiemail/contact.txt /cgi-bin/contact.cgi /cgi-bin/contact.pl /cgi-bin/contactus.cgi /cgi-bin/email.cgi /cgi-bin/email.pl /cgi-bin/fb/fb.pl /cgi-bin/feedback.cgi /cgi-bin/feedback.pl /cgi-bin/fmail.pl /cgi-bin/form.cgi /cgi-bin/form.pl /cgi-bin/formmail /cgi-bin/formmail.cgi /cgi-bin/formmail.pl /cgi-bin/friends.cgi /cgi-bin/mail.cgi /cgi-bin/mail.pl /cgi-bin/mailer.cgi /cgi-bin/mailer/mailer.cgi /cgi-bin/mailform.cgi /cgi-bin/mailform.pl /cgi-bin/npl_mailer.cgi /cgi-bin/sender.pl
I've set up pages for each of these, out of the kindness of my heart. I hope the spammers take the contents of those pages in the spirit that they're intended to be taken.
