Re: [pmwiki-users] PmForm MailForm sending to multiple addresses

2009-01-12 Thread Jan Brejcha
Hi,
thanks, I didn't think about this, my intention was to provide the
user with a confirmation, that the form was received and to send her
more information about it. Could I generate a more detailed result
page that would show directly on the page (instead of a mere your
post was successful)?
Thanks,
JB

 I am not sure this would be so great. Any mailform application that allows
 the user to determine target addresses can be hijacked by spammers.

 If I fill in the FROM with spamsomeb...@example.com and the BODY with an
 offer to share 600 million dollars, I have turned your mailform into an open
 relay of sorts.

it does not do this for security reasons, because it could otherwise
be used as a spamming tool.
