However, I see attempts to access non-existent scripts as such, which suggests that hacks exist. In personally use a form with JavaScript with a low-priority E-mail address in the source code. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://Schestowitz.com/Feedback" target="_blank">http://Schestowitz.com/Feedback</a> Roy<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: webmail/formmail

I got away from most forms because I didnt want to have to worry about someone spamming from it. Also I got spammed via my web form before and the ISP refused to do a thing even though I had it setup to grab the IP of the sender. Their IP blocks went into IPTables right after I emailed them and told them so. -- Viper Are you seeking revenge? <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.seekingrevenge.com" target="_blank">http://www.seekingrevenge.com</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.coinsandcurrency.info/" target="_blank">http://www.coinsandcurrency.info/</a><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: webmail/formmail

"Gerry for email use my name at dergal dt com" responded: : NEVER use a formmail that uses a hidden email address!!! : they do get abused, then your ISP is blacklisted... Uh, could you expand on that? The idea of an email form with a hidden email address is to prevent spam from being sent to you. While there are pros and cons to it from a user's point of view, it avoids giving spambots more email addresses to send spam to. With a multi-recipient form I once set up, the instructions specified what not to do in order to prevent people from abusing the form. Are you saying that this problem can happen with all forms? And that there's no way to prevent it? That doesn't sound correct to me. Are you suggesting using an email form with the email address available to spambots instead?
