OMG not already! :(

spearson, did you get any emails from the script prior to being blacklisted on CBL and Spamhaus? The way the script above is set up, it will send you an email for every successful attempt to use it for dark purposes. (Assuming, of course, that you hardcoded your own email address in the To: field.) That should have been a warning that somebody's doing something nasty.


I put the form and script on my server and tested it a couple times with my e-mail address (to recipient) hard coded as was previously stated. It worked and I left the server alone for a few hours forgetting I left it on there. I found out I was blacklisted like 10 hours later when drupal tried to e-mail me and it went to the spam folder. It's probably because the Reply to address was bogus/blank from some tool that screwed around with the form.

Anyways, I got it de-listed from CBL and in-turn Spamhaus so all is good.

Since your email address was hardcoded as the "To" address, wouldn't you have gotten an email for each time the form was used? How many of these did you get?

Unfortunately I wiped my spam folder a few hours ago so I'm not sure.

If someone just kept clicking Submit with no Reply to: address filled out, wouldn't that get Gmails spam detection mad? I'm thinking something like that may have happened.

Is it also possible that Gmail didn't like how the message was formatted ie. just send address and reply to? I personally have no idea ho how headers are properly formatted to avoid being assumed "spam".
