Re: Spamming by Tell a Friend
1. Turn off "Allow Guest To Tell A Friend": Admin->Configuration->Email Options
2. Use a spam detection resource: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...d=27#formarmor.

Re: Spamming by Tell a Friend
so what's the vulnerability? I have one customer who's just gotten hit by this. I'm supposed to tell him that he has to pay out more money because the form is vulnerablel?

Re: Spamming by Tell a Friend
If the form can be used to send out massive amounts of spam, that's a vulnerability to me. I've just never had this happen to any of my carts before.

Re: Spamming by Tell a Friend
You either make them register before they can send it or turn it off.
Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.
Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Re: Spamming by Tell a Friend
I turned it off the second I realized it was a problem. My client didn't care thank heavens. But then the next morning I had a new set of spam released but it stopped after I went in and deleted the tell a friend template.

The new version (1.39a) does put the throttle on tell a friend.

Re: Spamming by Tell a Friend
If you delete or rename the /includes/modules/pages/tell_a_friend/ folder then anyone attempting to visit that page will be met with your Page Not Found response.
