Hi

I have been using Contact Form Maker on one of my Wordpress sites for more than 18 months and it's been GREAT!, however, about a month ago I started getting 'Comments' which I had to approve from within Wordpress. I would mark it as spam, then delete them. After a bit of research on Google I unchecked 'Allow Comments' and 'Allow Trackbacks & Pingbacks on this page' in the discussion area of my 'Contact Us' page and once I did this the comments stopped.

Earlier this week I had to make a change to the address in the 'Map' area of my Contact Form. Since doing this I am now receiving 10-12 emails directly to my inbox, one of which is displayed below:
(Of course I can't mark it as Spam, otherwise I would not receive any messages from people who complete the Form on the site. Every email I get is from a different email address, but it is always to do with something about 'Ugg UK'

Name www.blog.ze.com/?cl20

Message: alongside wellingtons by way of UGG UK
questionnaire, The Walking group besides that brings many pinkish lace
sneakers creams, particularly clogs caused from Ecco, ABEO and as well
as Dansko, many of which are alone reachable coming from this amazing
rep. http://www.blog.ze.com/?cl20

How can I STOP this from happening, it's driving me nuts!! :evil: :sick:

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Kind regards
Anita
