My guess would be that a robot is filling out your contact form. It's possible that the robot uses fake information to "test" the forms and reports success to another system for actual spamming. You should implement cfformprotect http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/ Also, if you're not expecting

It could be spam bots. I get that all the time on our contact forms. Have to try to get some sort of simple captcha working. Often there is some type of links embedded which I've never clicked of course. 2009/10/14 Matthew Smith > > We often receive what appears to be random characters in our

All too true. Alexis is going on her first field trip today with her pre-K class. I cleaned out her lunchbox (an old 2000 DevCon box) and took out so much - various toys, a flashlight etc. When it comes to kids that age, you're lucky if you can do a last minute check of the gear they're carrying.
