    spam - not sure what kind - nor how to stop it

    Lately I have been getting spam from me [email protected]. And some spam in my inbox that is from xxxx@ (where xxxx varies in name).

    Is the webmaster a form of xss?

    Forget the other if it is not related. I will chase them down.

      And the only from information (without opening the header) is name @, ie. adonis @, or james @.

        Ok, so they are not registered members on your forum.

        Are they posting as guest users on your forum?
        How are they spamming you through the forum?

        I really need more specific information.
