MT Comment Forms Used for Spam?I glanced through the MT Support Forums and didn't see anything in regards to this, but I didn't have a whole lot of time to look. Here's what's happening: Every couple weeks, I'll get a few comments that do this type of thing: In the author field: "angelrrsmr@aol.comTo: angelrrsmr@aol.comFrom: angelrrsmr@aol.comSubject: kvlP(C87BA01E,author)ZOl" Herein lies the problem: When I get my e-mail notification for comments, I notice that the "To:" field not only has my e-mail address, but "angelrrsmr@aol.com". They come out looking like this: A new comment has been posted on your blog UtterlyBoring.com, on entrySo I don't know what else they could be using this for, but I could see this getting exploited. Anybody else run into this? I've posted this on the MT forums, but feel free to comment here as well. Posted by Jake on 04/12/04 @ 10:03 AM

I haven't had one recently although I've blocked a number of anonymous proxy servers from accessing the site, so that might have prevented this. Your theory is the same as mine though, but it's anyone's guess as to what they're trying to achieve. Comments Have Been Closed For This Entry. |
