Why formmail scripts I have uploaded shows 403 Forbidden error?

The old versions of formmail scripts was not secure enough so we had to put block on the scripts file name to stop hackers from getting through. By using the name 'formmail', hackers was enable access  through the outdated scripts and caused damage to our server hence we had to revised our security options. Please see below a list of filenames blocked on ALL SHARED/RESELLER servers:

formmail.php
formmail.cgi
formmail.pl


Solution #1:
 Formmail script filename can be renamed as per your choices. IE fmail.pl,fm.pl, or form.php and update the path to formmail script within your form pages.

Solution #2:
Use our secured formmail script located within your control panel=>CGI Center=> FormMail Clone, script url for your form page is going to be http://domain.com/cgi-sys/FormMail
