    Default Is there such a thing as "secure" relaying?

    Hi-

    I'd like to maintain a single, publicly accessible web page in which you can send a friend, coworker, anybody, a thought, wish, etc. The idea isn't ironed out yet, but the basic functionality is simple: the ability to send a message to anyone in the world while not being wide-open to spammers. Would it be possible in FormMail to do something like an image-verification feature in which the user has to type a series of characters in a randomly generated image?

    I'm pretty new to this, so go easy!

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    The new version of FormMail (not generally released yet) will allow you to do what you want.

    We haven't finished the documentation for these new features, so you'll have to wait a week or so for the image verification feature.

    Right now you can do what you want, but without spammer protection. So, you might want to get started configuring your form, FormMail, etc., now and then you can slot in the image verification in a week or so.

    Hi,

    Yes, it's easy in the current version (but you'll become a spam relay, of course).

    I'll Private Message you the config.
