A person could use it to send the copy to someone else, but then again people are the most difficult to control. I do offer an IP blacklist with this to deal with people if necessary (a weak control at best since not everyone has a static IP). A robot shouldn't be able to do it, though. The form has a number of measures to prevent 'bot submissions and exploitation, one of which is a "honeypot" (a baited input) which someone had mentioned before. That said, even though people are the most difficult to control, they don't seem to be the real problem. The problem seems to be with 'bots so that's the form's main focus. Cheers.

Is there any way to protect this from being used as a way to send out spam?
