Hi all,
I have worked in a site in which we were providing no registration for the external users. We were redirecting the mysite.com/user/register and even mysite.com/?q=user/register to the home page. But after this also we are still getting spam registration mails and I was wondering how spam registration are get created even though there was no registration form. Can any body explain this to me ? And also we have account creation settings are like 'visitors can create account but admin approval is required'. So do I need to change it into 'admin can only create account' ? Is that will fix the problem? Please help me. It's really urgent. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Change creation setting
If you have the user register/creation setting to anything other than Administrators only the form could be created. The menu path is registered, even if you obfuscate it, there could be ways to reach it.
If you don't need registration, set it to Administrators only.
If you do need it for some reason add a captcha process like captcha or Mollom to help block spam.
I'm unique, just like everybody else.
If I helped, please pay it forward, backward or sidelong.
Thanks NotGoddess for your
Thanks NotGoddess for your reply. Any way in our site we don't need user registrations, so I think I can choose your way. I will change the account creation settings to 'Admin can only create accounts'. I think hopefully this will solve the issue.
