Did anyone get spam from this site?

[Jay Dougherty]

@MEP69 reported receiving spam from the site. I'm still trying to track down how it was sent and from whom. Has anyone else gotten some phishy email from this site?

Thanks.

 

[Trish Saunders]

Nope....thanks for the heads up.

 

[Dale Patterson]

Don’t think so, thanks for watching.

 

[Cameron McClure]

No - nothing

Okay, I see in the email log how this happened to @MEP69--or at least what he got.

Must be a bot sending from the front page. I installed Akismet and changed the password on the info@ account. Let's see if this happens again.

Please report any nuisance email messages in this thread.

Thanks, everyone.

I got multiple mails (two more besides the one I showed you, Jay) - so I'll be particularly watchful!

I disabled "Contact Form 7," which I think was being exploited, and put up a different contact page. Let me know if this continues to happen.

 

[Trish Saunders]

Thank you for the work you did, Jay

The only ones who got this spam were the editors, I now realize, so it did not affect users in general.

Just normal notification emails for me, Jay

"Contact Form 7,"

sounds more serious than
Stalag 17
