Default Simple security to form

One other simple thing that can be done is to apply validation to the forms to make sure your visitors can only input what is needed and/or wanted.

A surprisingly overlooked mistake is to not set a maxlength value to your input boxes. The likelyhood of accidently excluding someone who has an email address of over 40-50 characters is pretty small.

<input type="text" name="MAILFROM" VALUE="" maxlength="40" size="20">
