Malicious code

[Teriel9]

Someone keeps sending some code via my Contact form and I am not sure how to
stop it.
If I use my anti spam program it will prevent me from receiving genuine
enquiries.

Can anyone help please
Thanks

You'll have to be more specific about this "code" that people are sending.

Consider adding a 'captcha' field to your form.

Look here -

http://www.madisonconcrete.com/testing/m_contactus.php

and look at the bottom of the form. I validate that field for an *8*, and
if it's not there, I don't send the email. This will at least stop the
automated malicious stuff.

did you know /testing/ is browsable? found by accident when the url below
didn't click-work.

Yeah - I'm going to change away from that host soon enough.

They don't have index.php as a default file name! 8(

line only to illustrate the type of code and add it to my post
Many thanks for your kind assistance

Is this in a text document? If so, it's not going to harm anything, other
than being a pain in the butt. The idea of using Captcha isn't a bad one.
