That is awful. I hate spam bots. Here is a page discussing steps for ridding your unix site of spambots: http://www.neilgunton.com/spambot_trap/
Some of the same principles could be applied to a CF site. HTH, David Grant -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Hal Barker Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Email Harvesting Greetings, Our site has been hit by Korean language email harvesters who send hundreds of thousands of Hangul emails to visitors to the Korean War Project who have left their email addresses for contact purposes. Any suggestions how to limit harvesting, since we have over 45,000 email addresses open to the public. Taking the email addresses off would totally kill our site, but anyone who has left their email address now receives up to 20 to 30 Korean language SPAM emails a day.
