Hello again networkly clever people,

As you know we host a bunch of websites for people at my work and all the forms for submitting on them are controlled by SendForm, with me down as the Webmaster.

Recently though I sometimes get emails bouncing to me with message like:

So what's going on? Are my SendForm settings wrong? Or is SendForm just crap? Or is it even related? Can anyone recommend a better way of working forms? Is it an ISP problem? Is there a shady virus on the loose? Why is the sky blue? Where do babies come from? Who am I and why am I here? AAAAAAAAaaaaaah!

Anyway, if anyone has some helpful insights I would be most happy, as it's starting to piss me off. I just got 11 of these bounced messages in a row. Help!

Theres your fault

shgn@aak-press.com - (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown)

Does that address actually exist? If so is it able to receive normal emails from external sources, eg hotmail?

Is it on a corporate network or is it a standard pop3 email box from some isp?

No, but none of these addresses exist... that's the point.

shgn@aak-press.com
1yi671@aak-press.com
jshmng@aol.com

All ficticious... so has the form or my email been hijacked by some automatic spam machine or wot?

i would say so yeah... theyre probably spoofed tbh - either that or theyre using some form of web crawler to scrape the form info on the page and replace with loads of crap when they spam out...

nowt much u can do im afraid.... shift-delete...
