Post by: aftab1003 on April 10, 2009, 11:23:20 PM
hi fellows and mods.

i am running the 1.4.19 with latest manual updates at...

http://picturerating.us/picture-gallery/index.php (http://picturerating.us/picture-gallery/index.php) (adult content warning)

i am getting over 2400 pageloads per day, and all is working fine.

today i check the ecard portion in admin menu, there are 6500 ecards sent... ???

and all these cards are spammed, mean stuppid serial type email addresses like
abc@yahoo.com
abc1@yahoo.com
abc2@yahoo.com
and so on...

i am here to ask if some one also have this situation?
is there any way to prevent this spam?
