I had a little misfortune this last weekend. I have a "Recommend It" program
on our commerce sites where someone can recommend the site to their friends
by entering up to 3 email address and a personal comment and then the
program emails accordingly.

 

You guessed it, I believe someone wrote a crone program to use this to send
out spam. Started on Saturday afternoon and ended when I caught it Monday
morning. Ironically the ip address originates down under in Australia. They
must be familiar with the "taf" extension down there. LOL

 

What are you guys doing to prevent this. CAPTCHA? Or some other strategy?

 

If it is CAPTCHA, could you recommend where I could obtain a bunch CAPTCHA
images so I can create this step to hopefully keep spammers from using the
program.?

 

Thanks
