[pmwiki-users] mail form and email spam

Once an email address makes it on a spammer's list, it stays there.
[?]Spammers fake headres to make it look like spam comes from other
places,
even fabricated, inexistent addresses on existing email-enabled domains.
To check whether the spam really comes from your form, check the message
trace in the message headers.
Not a good idea to place email addresses in public places to begin with.
Creating freely-accessible email forms without captchas is inviting trouble
for you and your server.
See http://www.*pmwiki*.org/wiki/Cookbook/*Captcha*

The cure for spam (short of reducing Internet freedoms) is to change your
email address often [?] or use accurate spam filters like GoogleMail [?]

Good luck,
Radu
