SPAM HELP

I am getting SPAM email coming in as guestbook comments.  I turned off guestbook from admin settings but i am still getting comments.  how are they getting around this.  I need to stop this.  If i am getting these spam then my members may be getting them too.  Boonex is busy with upgrades so they are slow to respond, hop some of you know this anser.

Hey, yeah the spammers use "bots" and "spiders" to crawl the internet looking for files named "guestbook.php" and they can post to them even if they aren't members or signed in. If you have disabled it in admin and aren't going to use this feature the quickest way to solve the problem is just to delete guestbook.php from your dolphin directory.. I did it on all my sites :-)

thanks

Yeah...deleting guesbook.php would be a gud choice at this moment. Once boonex provides some fix for it, you may reupload it.

what about simply renaming guestbook.php if you're not using it ?

I don't even understand why we need a guestbook if we have profile comments? Do we really need both?
