Spam Emails

Dragstar

Hi, i'm using the plugin "Contact 1.2" and i get spam emails! How can i solve this problem, or is there another plugin i can use? thx for your help

Well it depends on your mail system that you use. This contact form is very simple and will not stop human spammers. But you can train your mail system to send them to the junk folder.

You can also make it an internal form so only logged in users can send.

in the plugin.

<br />look in default.php


 if ($Sender->Menu) {  

and change to...

 if ($Sender->Menu && $Session->IsValid()) {  

look for contact.php

<br />and add near the top


$Session = Gdn::Session();
if (!Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Vanilla.Comment.Add'))
    exit();

but then again, they could always just send you a pm via inbox if they wanted to contact you, unless the contact form is referring to a different e-mail address.
