Diego Barcia	Sunday 21 October 2007 12:15:29 pm Hi, I think it's better to allow the tipafriend functionality only for registered users. I had this enabled on a 3.8.x instance, and had to remove it because of spammers. Spammers can use this feature to send unwanted mail without you even knowing it. See this issue: http://issues.ez.no/8851 I think you can enable/disable this function by means of yout site.ini settting for your siteacces, under [SiteAccessRules] As for 3.8.x series this function was enabled by default, but perhaps today is the opposite. You would have to change the default settings for this. The disable setting I did use was [SiteAccessRules] Rules[]=access;disable Rules[]=module;content/tipafriend I think there is a "cpatcha" extension (replicate a string generated by an image) to allow anonymous users send the page URL to other mail addresses. For this see http://ez.no/developer/forum/general/how_avoid_tip_a_friend_abuse

Hi,

I think it's better to allow the tipafriend functionality only for registered users. I had this enabled on a 3.8.x instance, and had to remove it because of spammers. Spammers can use this feature to send unwanted mail without you even knowing it.

As for 3.8.x series this function was enabled by default, but perhaps today is the opposite. You would have to change the default settings for this.

The disable setting I did use was
[SiteAccessRules]
Rules[]=access;disable
Rules[]=module;content/tipafriend
