I too am getting pervert spam. I am sorry I ever signed up for this site. I am an idiot.

Could you explain what you mean by contact page?

Is it from this forum or through the Contact Component on your sites?

Probably the PM function from this site...
Two other users just reported the same problem: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... 84721.html

In this case, we have been told of the user's name and we banned that account.
It was user "Harrison Ford".

If this happens , please report to moderator stating the sender's alias.

Its from contact component.

Maybe you can use security images to prevent such spam a bit (higher the threshold, because a spammer must type the characters from a random image)

(I don't know for sure if you can integrate it easliy into the contact component though)

here is the entire header and message he sent me. Can you kill him instead of just banning him? Just thought I would ask...
