empty formmail keep coming in

PHP formmail Problem please help

[internetbrothers]

Hi,

I have several formails in my websites, All fields are Required, You need to fill up all fields or the form will not be handled, but to my surprise it is about 1 month that I keep receiving Empty form mails again and again from all my websites. I go to my website I check the formmails are they are perfect. They why these formmails are coming in? I have gone through a lot of forums but could not find any answer . Is there any body there who can help get out of this confusion?

Thanks

Q: The error handling / check / validation ... is that done by php or javascript?

Check that you are doing validation in the script which actually sends the email and not just the input screen, otherwise if someone went straight to the "send" script they could end up triggering it - resulting in an empty email.

It's probably spammers testing your formmail directly. I get those too sometimes. Check your logs after that happens and see if you have been scanned. You might want to put a spider-trap on your form pages and also make sure you don't actually call formmail by its original name... call it "contact" or "feedback" instead....
