I would like to disable this option, or control it better! It can easily be used to spam a bunch of people:(

Those people have the option to block the spammer from sending them more messages. Is that not enough?

Eh? Is this a support request? If so, then at Administer >> Modules you need to disable Privatemsg.

If this is a feature request, then this issue should be marked as such, and the request needs to be worded in such a way as to actually ask for a feature.

I'm still unsure what the feature request is? This module allows authenticated users to send and receive private messages; how do you want to see this module limited in what it does?

Under the private message section their is a tab called "Contacts". With that tab, you can select all of your contacts and send them a private message. I dont want users to be able to send private messages to more then one person. The path of the form is "privatemsg/contacts"

I'm closing old issues since Privatemsg for Drupal 5 is not maintained anymore. I suggest you switch to Drupal 6 if possible, many of the reported issues are probably already resolved there and if not, you're welcome to open a new issue.
