Form spammingWe are having some difficulty with a spammer who uses the Contact us! Form on
our website. The spammer uses the same letters in the 'Name', 'E-mail address', 'Location' etc boxes followed by the usual spam rubbish in the 'Message' box. Is there any way that we can set up FrontPage to reject (delete) the message when the spammer clicks 'Send'? What has been suggested is "What I recommend doing is checking the detail entered into the Form itself and if they match the ones you say are always the same to reject details" but we dont know how to do this. Any helpful advice will be appreciated. You would need to use server scripting to do this. I have just done a PHP
page that checks for exactly that kind of spam - if it's found, it sends me an email, and sends the spammer to a real looking thank you page, but that's all it does. -- Murray -------------- MVP FrontPage Show quote "Skimbleway" <Skimble***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:73D627BB-B1BB-4D3C-AFA0-F8BA7F095F01@microsoft.com... > We are having some difficulty with a spammer who uses the Contact us!

something similar to you as I am a bit 'green' when it comes to computers etc - thats why I use FrontPage I suppose! However if what you have done is simple then I am prepared to give it a go if you will tell me what I must do. Thank you.

As far as I
know, there is no 'off-the-shelf' solution, unfortunately. With server scripting, I am able to examine the contents of each field in the submitted form's data, and make decisions on how to process the form based on that examination. This is the right way to do it, since it happens after the form is submitted and the data is transmitted to the server, and cannot be blocked or modified in any way by the submitter, as can simple javascript-based validation (which happens client side not server side, and can be disabled by just disabling javascript). The script itself first looks at the email field, and if it contains the magic words, or if any of the other fields contain the magic words, the form's data is not processed normally. -- Murray -------------- MVP FrontPage Show quote "Skimbleway" <Skimble***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B6D08864-D003-4882-8307-24350CF4E5C7@microsoft.com... > Thank you Murray for your prompt reply - don't think I am up to doing > something similar to you as I am a bit 'green' when it comes to computers > etc > - thats why I use FrontPage I suppose!

they could not do it, that I needed to do it myself. Now I use FP becuase I am not that versed in web design, so the rep told me I would need to figure out how to do a htaccess type function.

webserver, and it will vary by server type. If the server is Apache, then an htaccess file could be used/modified to block the address If the server is IIS, then it will be an IIS configuration Script pages (even javascript) can read an address and do a redirect also- javascript is most likely worthless in this regards as the spam bots dont render it Show quote "Morty" <Mo***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AB8AD65B-B7A7-4E3D-B341-9BFBC33901EC@microsoft.com... > How does one block an IP address in Frontpage 2002? > > Thanks, > > > "Thomas A.

If hosted on Unix/Linux, use htaccess or server-side scripting (PHP) If hosted IIS use the IIS MMC if you manage your own server or your web host is willing to do it for you, otherwise you have to use server-side scripting (ASP, ASP.net, [PHP, CFM, if supported]). -- ============================================== Thomas A.
