Hi Ali, If the form needs to be secure why don't you hide it behind a login session? If you want you can set a cookie to keep users logged in, if there's not tooo sensitive information. Downside is that users might browse with cookies off. I don't know if Im misanderstanding.

Hi All, I'm just going crazy trying to find some solution to the situation with forms giving "unauthorized domain" errors to Norton Personal Firewall users. Any form I found uses refers as a means of security to keep out spammers. But Norton's PF hides the users so well, so they get lumped in with hackers. Telling the user to turn off their firewall doesn't fly, and having them go through the process of changing their settings isn't much better, because who wants to deal with a site that makes you do more work than necessary? Not many. Is there a form out there that doesn't count on user settings for it's security? I've been googling all last night and early this morning, and it's driving me nuts. There's got to be a good way to make a secure form that isn't going to be butting heads with firewalls. I could comment out the section that checks the reffers, but that defeats what little security the form has. Help!
