Freeola sites using FORM_MAIL have been working well for many months now.

I thought I would give a 'heads up' as in the last couple of days I've suddenly started to see an increase in FORM spam.

Surprisingly even sites using Freeola's CAPTCHA option are receiving spam - something I haven't seen before.

In the past this is sometimes the precursor to FORM_MAIL and email service problems which is the reason for this post.

I'm only seeing a few at the moment but that's often how things start, going by past experience.

Thought Freeola might like to keep an eye on things...

Just had a FORM_MAIL spam email(Freeola form script using captcha) from this IP - 218.194.80.220

A Google of this address looks like it is suspect.

This is the IP address from the environmental data from the email - looking at my sites logs I can't see this address as a visitor, so it looks as if it could be getting round the captcha.
