Thanks for Guest Book SPAM advice

[pmoore11]

I probably shouldn't waste post space on a "thank you" - but, your advice
worked so well that I thought I would remind those "still suffering" that
there is a solution to SPAM in your Guest Books: change the name from Guest
Book to something else... I found this advice given in an older Thread and
it totally eliminated my SPAM mail replies to my Guest Book sign up page.
Actually had to change the links to Guest Book and the page name Guest Book.
Seeing what the SPAMMERS did to automatically updated databases, I had
decided to have my "sign-ups" send me an e-mail - and, then I update my
database manually (low volume so I could do that.) However, I was receiving
hundreds of phoney SPAMS in my InBox everyday... They ALL went away after
I got rid of any references to Guest Book. Sorry about this frivilous
post... but, the advice has saved me LOT'S OF TIME each day.

Thanks,

Palmer

Your welcome. One thing to not though is that if have text
of the phrase guest book on a page link or on the guetbook
page itself, that the guestbook will be 'found' again
eventually- so you may need to rename the page every so
often.
