spam issues
« on: November 06, 2006, 08:59:34 am »
Hi.
My client has recently reported issues with Listmail pro form spamming. Looks like a lot of automated bot signups to lists.
The client is worried that the script might also be exploited and used to send spam using the company domain.

Can you confirm if there are any measures to prevent automated signups such as CAPTCHA or similar and also whether the script is spam-safe.

Thanks for your attentions,

Alistair

Of course, use "Confirmed" opt-in, where the user has to confirm their email address by clicking the link they get in the confirmation email.

That and you might want to consider banning specific IPs from subscribing to stop bots:
