The requested destination address is not one of the permitted email recipients.

So is the a email address one of the permitted ones?

Please read the documentation before installing email.cgi.

Well yeah, -the full scripts are posted and you can see the text, each one starts with the "RED" title. But I can't figure out why I'm getting a blank email when the form is submitted.

Thanks for any help.
