    SOLVED Product Inquiry Spamming?

    Posted 16 years 3 weeks ago
    • Hey, I've been receiving multiples of this same type message every day from a scrambled address.
      jtxrrvbjfz31yuzi
      jxdzl ephrm
      omqkuzylxwjl.com
      nybaeb fxop
      ijifpt.com
      mxnzi ijoxj
      ldniadxftjkj.com

      Does anyone know what I could/should do? Is my security being breached, or are they just trying to get me to respond? It's a different product every day and there are usually 8 or so emails by the same "person" with a LONG list of code similiar to above...

      UPDATE: Customer canceled the site. Didn't really solve, but did look into mollum - see post below.

    • It's through virtuemart Here's one of the pages on the site - the specific link is through "Ask a question about this product" - which sends me an email. (this is a site I administrate as well as designed...)

    • Hi Maria, I manage a site that I also designed that gets similar emails. Only a couple every few days though.
      Did you sort it out?
      Cheers

    • Actually - I ended up wiping that site as the customer no longer needed it, but I have looked into mollum. I was pretty simple to install and everything, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't work. Now - I am terrible at php and I know that a lot of the setup has to do with correctly inserting this code into whatever file for the extension you are attaching it to, and...I'd rather not deal with all that. But, if you are php proficient, it looked like it could be a good thing.
