Hello,
I keep receiving blank emails from a form on my website with only someone's IP address on it but other time the emails can come through with all the form details filled in. Is there a problem with the form on my website or is there something blocking spam emails.
If someone could check it out for me I would really appreciate it.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Could just be passing visitors clicking the submit button for the fun of it.
There appears to be no form validation taking place server side to prevent this.
Xsubmit = Submit Query
FullName =
EmailFrom =
Telephone Number =
Property =
MyComment =

This is the type of email that comes through just as an example but with someone's IP address at the bottom.

Would hardly describe the matter as resolved,
The lack of any validation is a often a symptom of gaping security errors in the mailer scrript just waiting for a passing hacker to find. Alas cannot see the script because it's on the server so invisible to me as a visitor so cannot say for sure. Nor can I test for problems externally without written consent as that would be a breach of the computer misuse act.
For anybody concerned of the security of thier web site be they geek or technophobe, Google for your nearest DEFCON group, they should be more than willing to help.
