  Old  FrontPage or PHP form mailer?

Which is more secure (in terms hijacked forms, email form injections, etc)? Using FrontPage Email Form mailer or using any number of PHP form mailer? Which form mailer do you use? In general, how secure are FrontPage extensions? This is on an unix host.

What si your definition of secure?
Frontpage is attrocious but PHP is rather more secure, but there are still weak scripts arround.

For mail I always use the pear mail script, I'm pretty sure its really secure, there are some good tutorials out there teaching you how to use it (I even have one on my site), you can download the script from http://pear.php.net/mail or perhaps you have a good host that already has the package installed.

Either solution can be more/less secure than the other, it's in your hands to develop a secure solution using either of those technologies... or a completely different one.

This is also a good little read about email injections;
