Not completely impossible BUT the link looks bogus -- a valid referrer would be http://www.midtowncottages.com/ with a trailing slash. This could well be a robot looking for unprotected formmail applications that pretends to be referred from your site, attempting to circumvent simple security checks. -- Klaus Johannes Rusch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.atmedia.net/KlausRusch/ +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
