Re^3: Preventing outbound SPAM

Unfortunately the client does not believe that you should have to register to ask there members a question. But we are trying to change that.

Your client needs to be introduced to the realities of the situation; registration or spam - pick one :-)

Oh I agree with you there. Fixing the door after the horse has bolted is a pointless exercise. Catching a horse as it bolts is difficult and often painful. Not opening the door in the first place is simplist. I justwish life was simple UnderMine	[reply]

"Fixing the door after the horse has bolted is a pointless exercise." You think? Even if it stops a dozen more horses bolting? Or in this case, thousands of more spam emails being sent. As yet you have not posted any code from your form mail script. Perhaps there is something fundamentally wrong, or insecure that someone could point out to you. There are loads of known bad formmail scripts in existence (live on the web) that can be exploited to do such things as sending spam. Martin	[reply]
