    I do not understand why people bother to spam my donation website?
    What do they gain? We will not add them anyway unless they send us the donation. There website will not show anywhere. I will just see there email in my admin and thats it. Whats the point spamming it? Like sign up 10 times with the same email donating 0 $.

    So you mean they want to put in a website but there is no room for that so they just leave the email? Is that correct ?

    It seems as though the email spam people have been able to work the forms on my websites too. I get about 10 or so emails in each day. They either send me pharmacy links by the dozens or sometimes they are just testing the form to I guess, send stuff through it later. I am starting to use a javascript on my new sites to try and twart them and I will see if we can build a script that cant be used in this fashion and announce it here.

    As for the javascript, you can get it here: http://www.optimization-services.com/hide-email.asp?ID=4

    How can Yahoo directory list help me with this one?
    Only a few emails are from Yahoo and i bet they are not real once or closed down long time ago.:confused:
    The problem is, is this a bot or a person spaming the donating box and to what purpose. They get no Url or anything from it.
