Don't Use 'Refer A Friend' Script...

1 replies
I see so much spam every day from websites with a 'refer a friend' facility and the owners of these sites don't know and don't realise that the spam that is inserted into the 'refer a friend' message is going thru their servers!

All to disguise the source in the full header of the email.

Complaints are on the rise to web hosts of such sites, who of course, realise what is going on when they see a copy of the email, but there are other web hosts with a short fuse who don't tolerate spam whatever who may delete your site.

Don't be tempted to use a 'refer a friend' script on your site, the harm it could do to your continued existence on the web may far outway the possible pr benefits of having such a facility.
