Hello.

I want to allow members and guests e.g. to send E-mail to friends.

How can I track the IP address and have the ability to ban anyone whether logged in or not, who abuses the sending of E-mail feature?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply, qasimzee.

So far, the one closest to being able to see which anonymous users are using forms I think is Troll. I wished Misery could be used for anonymous users but it seems at first glance that the user must be logged in. It would be nice to find a module that combines both features for use with anonymous users.

Thanks again.

Well, i don't thing it will be hard to modify a module to work in your way

I've had good experience with using Mollom to prevent SPAM in things like comments, logins and other forms. It requires that you sign up for a free Mollom account to start with, and uses the Mollom servers to collaboratively identify and tag spammer activity. However, it won't let you go into detail with tracking IP's and things, as it takes care of that on their side, with gives their system the advantage of scale, and saves us work doing admin tasks like that. It can even recognize 'safe' users and let them avoid having to enter the CAPTCHA stuff for every post, which becomes annoying fast.

Thanks for your replies qasimzee and tylerwalts.

I'm in the process of trying to tweak the Send to Friend form. I just started looking at it in conjunction with being able to use some of the features of Troll and/or Misery modules. I have to give it more thought.

In the meantime, I checked out mollom and it seems interesting. I signed up for an account and installed the module, but there is a drawback.

The form I need it for the most is not listed in the 'Add Form' list. That form is the Send to Friend form. At least in the captcha module, I could manually add forms.

1) Is there a way to add forms that are not associated directly with the nodes list?

2) Also, for the settings => Fallback strategy, do you think the 2nd option (Leave all forms unprotected and accept all submissions) is too risky?

Thanks.
