Hi Eric... A thought for the new site...since I do sites as a living etc...have you checked to see if one of your forms has been hijacked? I would think the admins who looked into it should have looked, but usually they just don't care. ::lives with geek programmer as a hubby...so I live and breathe this stuff:: We had a problem with that a while ago since a few of our older sites were using formmail.cgi for quotes, etc. We changed over to a secure php replacement which has solved the problem. Also, you might think about making people contact you via form only until you give out the addy to them, which can be protected just like the above...i.e. they click on contact and then are taken to a form to fill in to send the mail in the browser instead of typing in a mail addy or cutting and pasting. That would keep the addy off the page completely and it won't be available even in source code since its sort of encrypted in the php code that runs the form. Problem is with this stuff is that although it might be a bot..I'm sure y ou know it can just as easily be gathered from any other source....random messages from your domain name could well be that your base addy got picked up from a webring...linkfarm...someone else's computer via a virus...or even harvested from a somewhere like a domain registrar itself. One last thing I would suggest it using a separate email on your contact forms for your domain registration...something not connected to your business..a yahoo account...earthlink account..etc. I am guilty of NOT doing this...but I SHOULD! :) If I had the time invested in this that you have I would wait it out and give notice to your visitors...and I wouldn't toss my meta's either...how else are you going to get anywhere in some search engines? Give it time to die out and don't shoot yourself in the foot too quickly and let some script kiddy take away what you've worked hard for. If you want to send a few mails my way and let the "uber geek" have a look you're welcome to do so...he might even take a peek under the hood of the server if you want him to... all the best.. zai..ps..thanks again for all the help with the contest entry...I know I was a pain!
