Hi Serge Thank you for your response. I have been using James on a live site for about 1 month now, and seemed to be getting spammed twice a day (it is very interesting because before that month, there was never an email server running, ie it's a new site). They are from diffrent domains each time, so I guess not dispatching the mail did work. I will continue monitoring the logs.
PS: Wish there could be a way to stop the spammers from spamming!
