sendmail and formmail are two different programs. You use formmail to get data from a CGI form, and you use sendmail to send that data as an email. sendmail is generally installed already by the server administrators, formmail generally has to be installed by the user, that would be you. Some hosts have formmail ready to install via a cpanel of some sort.
