Default Re: Contact Us Forms being used for Spams

Tell me about it. Occasionally I go through my logs and report attempted spamming to either the isp or the host since a lot of automated spam comes from abused servers and not home PCs. Same thing applies to a sudden no stop attempt at running exploits against my site. The main problem comes from companies like Layeredtech which own a huge range of IP addresses and dont care what their customers do with their servers. I have blocked all layeredtech IP addresses and about 50-70% of my error log is the server denying them access.




And what's with WPW not sending me notification emails x-(
