I have posted a Contact Page MOD over at SnitzBitz. Thanks to Carefree and TastyNutz for helping me add the features I wanted to have in it.

The purpose of this mod is to provide a contact page that visitors to your site can use to easily contact you.

This contact page has several features built in.

  • It checks to see if all fields have been entered. If not, it gives a warning to go back and fill in the necessary information.
  • It includes an anti spam code that a user must input correctly before the form will be sent. This helps to prevent bots from automatically spamming your contact page.
  • The email address that the contact form is sent to is hidden in the source code. This helps to prevent bots from learning your email address and spamming it.
  • It includes a character count that limits how much can be typed. The default is 500 characters but can easily be changed.
  • It includes an automatic spam filter that detects known words used in spam emails. If any of the words are detected then the form will not be sent and the user will automatically be redirected to the website of your choice.

You can go here to download it.

Good work, LL; surprised it's taken this long for somebody to come up with a mod like this.

A nice addition to the readme might be instructions on how to replace all occurrences within the base code of the admin e-mail address with a link to this page instead and how to edit faq.asp to use a dummy e-mail address rather than the admin's one.

And how about an admin panel to change the character limit (or disable it) and specify words and terms for the spam filter.

I would edit faq.asp to point at the contact page rather than put a dummy email.

Forgot about that link to e-mail the admin.

I was actually referring to the FAQ themselves, though, specifically the one related to posting links.

Thanks for the input guys. I have rewritten the instructions to explain how to link the faq.asp page to the new contact.asp page, how to change the admin email address in the example to an example email address found on the faq.asp page and explain how to link the register.asp page to the contact.asp page.

I still need to write instructions for policy.asp version 3.4.05 but I no longer have an original copy of that to write the insructions for. Anyone have one? Or is inc_policy.asp in 3.4.06 the same as policy.asp in 3.4.05?

Great job, I'll be using it soon. Curious, does it check for the BCC exploit?

It may still be up on the SourceForge page, but I'm not sure you want to continue to enable those back at 3.4.05... I'd use it as a stick to get people to move up - but that's just me.

I'm not familiar with the BCC exploit. What is the exploitation?

Spammers can inject a /n somehow then list BCC addresses. Then when they hit send it copies the email to all those addresses. I got hit with it on a contact form I made myself and got on some blacklists.

I'll see if I can get a link that explains it better.

Not an issue as this is ASP not CGI.

I've updated the mod to version 1.1. It now includes a checkbox the sender of the form can select if they would like to receive a copy of the message they are sending sent to their own email address. I have also updated the instructions a bit and included a screenshot of the contact page (see below).
