spammed

The problem we have is that people use our formmail script to send spam. The way they do this is adding an email complete with header , content type etc in the email field of our form.

Is there an update that prevents this from happening, it should be easily fixed i think..

It's not an easy fix but check out this thread for a RC. It's not 100% but I'm mainly interested to see if it stops the spamers at this point.

First you should delete those emails so those people do not get a bunch more spam.

Andrew as far as I can see the tests we have done is stopping the spam but still early to say 100%

What I would like to see also and aybe you can keep this in mind

The rDNS look up I mentioned on the Return Path issue but also is there a way to stop the script from triggering when a spider hits it directly.

What I mean is if you have a form uploaded and it is called form.php and you load that straight to the browser it triggers and sends a blank email to eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%65%78%61%6d%70%6c%65%40%65%78%61%6d%70%6c%65%2e%63%6f%6d%22%3e%65%78%61%6d%70%6c%65%40%65%78%61%6d%70%6c%65%2e%63%6f%6d%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b')) and of course it not a hue deal but maybe something that can prevent that? I know the spammer issue is first :)

thanks for your hard work!!!
