We have disabled the contact.module in D6.13 installation but the form still appears on profile page. Why? It does not seem to work, but nonetheless the tab appears and clicking the tab invokes the form and it appears to operate, though the email does not reach the intended recipient.

If we have disabled the module. If we had, previously, taken away permissions, why would this continue to operate in this fashion?

By way, the reason we wanted to disable it is because we were looking for some way to TRACK use of contact form by users. So consider this a two'fer. If anyone knows how to set up tracking, perhaps, through watchdog, I would be appreciative.

But first things first, how do we make it disappear?

Are you sure you are using the contact.module and not something else? Have you cleared your site's cache (see the admin/settings/performance page)?

yes to both.

it appears that this module is inoperable if you just want to have it reserved for a certain role, i.e., administrators.

too bad. I cannot for the life of me figure out why if you activate it and set permissions for only the administrator role, the other users get the contact tab which SEEMS to be operative but will not send out any email. not very handy.

The permission is for the site-wide contact form at http://yoursite.com/contact. There is no permission to use the personal contact forms (http://yoursite.com/user/1/contact), it's available to all users by design. Luckily we are trying to change that and add a separate 'access personal contact form' at #58224: Allow anonymous users access to a members personal contact form. I'm going to mark this as by design, but keep posted in the other issues. I'm also working on backporting the Drupal 7 issue into the Anonymous Contact module, so check that out in a bit too.
