I think the forum security needs looking into, we now have a new 'member' who lists a porn web site.

I tried emailing this to the postmaster address, but it bounces back with an unroutable address error.

Steve,

I have pm'd the user and set a time limit for correction. I'll see if it gets corrected, but everything about the signup leaves me to think it was automated.

I have therefore set new signups to Admin authorisation and I also activated the visual signup identification process.

I hope this removes most of the problems.

Thanks for pointing the problem out to me. I'm looking into the email problem.

Steve,

further to the email problem, I have just tested the SMTP server and the routing and can find no problem.

Can you possibly forward the bounce message to me so I can have a look through it, to see where the problem is?
