You now cannot access the email form directly, nor can you use the form more than once every few minutes. If I think of anything more clever, I’ll be doing that as well. At least you can be assured they didn’t actually get your email address, that remains hidden at all times. Only about 15 people got the spam, but they have my apologies. Sigh…
This spam attack came from a Netherlands IP via someone who had French set as their language. The reply address was yahoo.fr (though all of that can be and probably was spoofed).
I was excited to see an influx of people today, almost twice the normal traffic. Alas. Spammers found one of the forms, and I assume they then tried to find a way to exploit it. If you try to access a page directly that has a form on it without clicking on a link from this site, you’ll possibly be bounced to the front page now. Clicking on a link to get there via the left nav will work. (If you intentionally obfuscate the referer string, though, you won’t be able to get there.)
Update: Speaking of spammers, they’ve now figured out how to use the email form…to do this, they have to find a page with a link to it and then click on a link, they can’t just randomly choose names. I’m sorry if you received any and I’m working on killing the process.
