Cheers Paddy, I've seen that before, but that's not the problem I was talking about in my question. It's rather that they can use your contact forms to actually use the your host's mailserver to email their spam:

>- see footer for list info -<
Just seen Russ's security announcement about spammers being able to use
your contact forms. Had a look round the net and found the solution
seems to be to strip out chr(10) and chr(13) from any field that will
appear in the message header (eg. reply-to). Can anyone see anything
wrong with the code below?

#ReplaceList(form.email,"#Chr(13)#,#Chr(10)#", "")#

Thanks, Damien
