Minimizing Subscribe Form Spam
Posted by David Greiner on September 27, 2005
Yep, you read that right. Not only have you got to worry about comment spam on your blogs, but your subscribe form could be the next target. We've had a number of customers let us know about this problem and have just made a small change to the subscribe form code to combat this.
If you're seeing any strange subscribers in your list (especially those that mention the cmail1.com domain in the email address), grab the latest version of the subscribe code from your account.
We also updated the supplied signup code to include one with basic formatting, one with CSS formatting and a table based version.
A big thanks to Ken Schafer from One Degree for helping us test this solution. Great guy and a great resource for Canadian marketers.
