Script to do a form submition to e-mail.

[mythikal]

Hello members

Until recently we were using a free script on our client's site to generate form submissions to send e-mails to our clients. However spammers were apparently able to exploit the code to send spam from our server. I was hoping to get some help either finding a new free code without that exploit vulnerability, or some help setting up a script without that exploit in it.

Thanks for your time

What script was you using? and also what was the vunerability of it.

Usually the addition of a catcha image will prevent bots and spammers to a degree.

Also what language are you requiring ASP,PHP etc

if you have fantastico, there is a form generator script you can install through that. probably has captcha as well.

hotscripts.com can provide you with many scripts of the sort you are looking for.. do a search in google for it.

Hmm has anyone got any tips or tourarials for securing a script? One day I'll get around to learning about SQL injection but I would also want to protect against spammers. CAPTCHA I probably wouldn't use out of personal preference, I find it annoying. Rather I think I would use a delay of like 60 seconds or something before they can use it again.

Best and easiest solution I have found is to use wordpress as a cms and then use either contact form 7 or cforms plugins. They have great spam protection.
