drewh Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Occasionally I receive emails similar to the one below, and I see the same kind of messages from several of my website accounts. None of my websites use formmail.pl, and we are certainly not sending these emails on purpose. Does anyone know why these emails are occuring? On a side note, how do I find the password to the TCH Family Only forum? Thanks. This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

TCH-Bruce Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 (edited) Moving to better forum for organization. I PM'd the password to the "family forum" to you. Oh, and I forgot. Welcome to the family, drewh! Edited March 30, 2004 by TCH-Bruce Quote
TCH-Don Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Welcome to the family Drew You may want to submit a help ticket to have tech support look at your e-mail. Quote
drewh Posted March 30, 2004 Author Posted March 30, 2004 Thanks guys. I thought I'd post it here to lighten the load on support, but I guess I'll submit a ticket. Quote
TCH-Don Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Drew, on second glance I saw subject, and realized its the attempt of a spammer trying to see if you have formmail.pl installed. And of course the spammer was foiled. there is nothing to worry about, you will see this a lot. Quote
TCH-Don Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 You are welcome. I freaked out the first time I saw the same attempts in my stats, but now I ignore them, as I use a php form, I am hopefully a little safer Quote
