Hi Asya

Can I 1st of all ask what type of communication you use on your website: an email address direct on your website or a CGi form script called formmail.pl from MSA?

If its a direct mail link, can I suggest that you rethink and use an enquiry form? It won't stop the amount of spam you receive altogether but it should reduce it considerably.

If, however, its the formmail problem, then go back to the site where you got it from and try downloading the latest version. If its the site I'm thinking it is, they recommend that you download a new version on a regular basis as this reduces any potential misuse. Or even try renaming it eg m2me1.pl

I have had this problem a couple of times in the past as a result of both of these factors. Although email link did tend to result in excessive spam mail rather than the misuse you are experiencing.
