Hi Rick, I would create a logging table and log the e-mail address, origin IP and the message being sent (along with an MD5 hash fingerprint of the message). For each message sent, just check the table to see if that e-mail address, IP, or message has been sent too many times within a set time period. A simple query to get the count of entries matching any of those within the last three hours should suffice. If any records are returned, give them an error, otherwise let it pass and log it. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
