My question is, if it is possible to use sendmessage.php to send spam through vbulletin.

I also started reciving the following emails to my personal accounts in the server

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its
recipients after more than 72 hours on the queue on xxx.xxx.net.

The message identifier is: 1LU6mn-0004WP-DG
The subject of the message is: Your email requires verification verify#4C6xADKsPQkvFH4WxvgiOH5zSnK3wQm0
The date of the message is: Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:56:57 -0600

The address to which the message has not yet been delivered is:

[email protected]
Delay reason: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>:
host mail.memlane.com [199.185.225.2]: 451 4.7.1 Please try again later

No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for
some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message
remains undelivered. Eventually the mail delivery software will give up,
and when that happens, the message will be returned to you.

Im worried about this issue, because my datacenter has a very strong policiy about spam.

Use one of the human verification options:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Human Verification Manager (on the left, not the right)

I recommend Q&A.

Then enable verification for the contact form:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Human Verification Options

That will help to prevent spam.

I have that option enabled, im using reCAPTCHA but still getting the emails.

My question is if its possible to send spam using sendmessage.php or those stupid ucranians are just wasting their time and sending a lot of emails just to one person, me.

thanks for the help.

Using image verification is not gong to stop real people from spamming. You may just have to disable the Contact Us option.
