Plone’s sendto_form Used For Spam

February 1, 2007

It’s no news that some people with sick brains use every chance to send spam e-mails. Plone offers a little send-to-friend functionality for delivering content you like to the ones you like. There are no restrictions for using this form and so some spammers discovered new ways to get their stupid messages to us all.

Because I see log entries here from time to time that someone sends phishy mails via plasser.net, I decided to close this service (who needs this in times of social bookmark services and Digg?). You can still open the sendto_form, but you can’t send anything, hehe.

It’s a kind of net vandalism, right?
