Mon - May 5, 2003Guestbook spammers and porn perverts begone!Using some kind of software with which I'm not
aquainted, spammers and porn purveyors have been mucking up my guestbooks during
the past few months.
The Add a Link, Guestbook, and Prayer Request scripts were accessed remotely, which is not supposed to be possible with the cgi-wrap used by my ISP. I know this was the case for I modified the guestbook entry script so that it pointed to FormMail.pl instead of guestbook.pl, and the spamming continued. So, problem solved: I just changed the permissions on my listing pages to allow only the owner to update them. One may still submit something, but I will have to add it manually. Sorry about this, but you can be sure that only appropriate material will show up. This is just another of the seemingly endless tasks it takes to keep a web site working right.
