Do you have the image verification for this turned on? It was added in 3.5.0.Translations provided by Google.

Yes, I do. That's why it seems so strange; who would go thorugh the problem of verifying it just to send spam to one person?
A traceroute for 85.255.117.18 dies somewhere in West Virginia; not India like I'd expect for this type of spam.
BTW, I just got hit with nine more spams from 85.255.117.18.Cyburbia Forums - a third place for urban planners

Actually DNSStuff.com records shows that this IP belongs to a hosting company in Ukraine. They have an abuse e-mail which you can complain to.
See for details:
You're spending millions of dollars on a website?!

I just googled, and found that the IP is responsible for a LOT of spam. I doubt the hosting company is going to do anything about it.Cyburbia Forums - a third place for urban planners

I am getting spam through that form from this IP: 84.19.186.155
I've turned the image verification for guests on so see if that helps.
The Spam I get uses the URL-BBcode and links to various subpages of http://[REMOVE]beliy.pbwiki.[REMOVE]comThat's the end of that!Comment

In the
"Allow Unregistered Users to use 'Contact Us'" setting, make sure you have selected the "Yes, but verify image" option from the drop down.
I only had mine set to "Yes" not realizing there was another option to verify the image as well. Since applying that setting i haven't received any more spam.Comment

As far as board registration goes, I've got most free Russian email providers and Yahoo.* among the banned addresses. Just blocking registration from Yahoo addresses stopped 95% of the spam that was posted.
EDIT: Amazing. My logs are showing a LOT of posts to vBulletin threads and nonexistent forms for other scripts I don't have (Moveable Type seems to be one of them) from 85.255.113.* to 85.255.117.* .Last edited by cyburbia; Sat 10 Jun '06, 10:33am.Cyburbia Forums - a third place for urban planners

More stock graphics of the corporate-looking guy staring up at "endless opportunity" or something like that, with the usual skyscrapers in the background, along with liberal use of the word solutions. I don't trust companies like that, for some reason.Cyburbia Forums - a third place for urban planners
