[Nms-cgi-devel] [Fwd: [Nms-cgi-support] NMS Formmail NMS Formmail 3.14c1 Being Spammed]

[Dave C. <da...@da...>]

This request came in to the nms support list a couple of days ago. It 
seems like a reasonable enough request and I wondered if anyone on the 
devel list fancied spending an hour or two investigating how we might 
implement it.

If you want a commit bit on the nms cvs repository just drop me an email 
or, alternatively, just send me a patch.

Or perhaps the project is a dead as this user seems to think it is :(

Cheers,

Dave...

I doubt if this posting will receive a reply but I am putting it up on the
outside hope it will open a discussion and perhaps a resolution. As
mentioned over and over in this forum, the NMS Formmail 3.14c1 script is
being attacked and spam sent to the email address(es) designated in the
script.  Apparently this is being done by mindless spam bots that have
nothing better to do than bombard us with urls hopping we will click on
them.  Do a Google search like "nms formmail being spammed" and see the
level of frustration.  I understand that further development of the the NMS
Formmail 3.14c1 script is apparently dead or abandoned.  Perhaps that could
be reconsidered.  Just a fix to allow the user to reject submissions with
URLs in them or limit the length of submissions could be considered.  It
would mean much to those of us who use the form and find it most beneficial
but don't like wading through the buckets of spam that are being dumped on
us by the bots.  I have looked over the TFMail and it seems like a rather
complex script to install and I suspect it would hit by the  bots just like
NMS Formmail 3.14c1.
