Mail help

[py1337]

My mail() script is working fine. But the problem is that people are spamming i.e sending random mails which is causing hell to my inbox+junk folder.
I am thinking to restrict each IP for only sending 2 emails, that is IP can only send 2 emails, for sending more he will have to change his IP. so in this way I think this spam would decrease.

so anyway or can some one help me to code this ? or directly give me php code.

I imagine that this is a form validation issue.

I read a book by Charles Wyke Smith that included a function for validating simple forms.

I can send it to you - the function - , and possibly help you out.

Just let me know. Spam sucks.

Thank you!

Hi there,

All of the code I'm referring to is actually in a few posts down, that I started a thread for.

It's called "designating who email is from" or something like that.

The last post in that thread is where I pasted the code that I am using, from the book I read by Charles Wyke Smith... I think that's his correct name. It has the code for validating the form submission.

And yes, I got your private message, but figured it was easier just to post here. Good luck,

This is just the code for validating the form.

I called it form-validation.php, and I have it in an "_includes" folder... it came from the Charles Wyke Book I was talking about.

Let me know if you need more help.

Code: Select all

<?php

function verifyAlphaNum ($testString) {
   // Check for letters, numbers and dash, period, space and single quote only.
   return (eregi ("^([[:alnum:]]|-|\.| |')+$", $testString));
}   

function verifyEmail ($testString) {
   // Check for a valid email address
   return (eregi("^([[:alnum:]]|_|\.|-)+@([[:alnum:]]|\.|-)+(\.)([a-z]{2,4})$", $testString));
}

function verifyText ($testString) {
   // Check for letters, numbers and dash, period, ?, !, space and single and double quotes only.
   return (eregi("^([[:alnum:]]|-|\.| |\n|,|\r|\?|\!|\"|\')+$",$testString));
}

function verifyPhone ($testString) {
   // Check for only numbers, dashes and spaces in the phone number
   return (eregi('^([[:digit:]]| |-)+$', $testString));
}
