I had a site which i sold on here around 2 years ago. It appears the contact form is being abused and has been for the last 3 months or so. Im getting abound 30+ emails a day from this site, ive spoken to the new owner and sent various emails asking to remove my email address as the main contact reply - he appologised and said he would but im still getting all of these emails. What can i do? Would it be legal for me to remove my email address form the contact form? Please help ive had this email address for about 5 years i dont want to change it.
So you still have access to remove it? If the person isn't doing anything about it then I don't see why you couldn't just do it. It's not causing any harm. But I wouldn't unless your sure they would be okay with it. Or you could turn your spam filter onto maximum (depending on your email provider).
i dont have access no, i would have to get someone to hack it but like you said there wouldnt be any damage caused
You can't really be blamed for hacking it, as long as you don't leave any footprints leading to you I say hack it.
what more info would you like? I know its probably illegal but its for a good reason as to why im doing it, in theory his code is actually being hacked anyway and he hasnt done anytyhing about it
