However, I would like to know how you provide protection against spambots and spammers who manually use a webform to send out spam related messages. I have run into a problem or vulnerability in which a spambot is sending out mass amounts of spam messages to a recipient. After reading your blogs I believe these idiots are conducting these tasks to improve their search engine rankings. If I upgrade to a paid version of your product, do you have any money back guarantees if for some reason the service isn’t doing what I need? I particularly need maximum security protection against these spam bots. Also, does your service use CGI, ASP, PHP?? What type of programming languages are used to validate form content. Finally, what type of CAPTCHA techniques are implemented in your pro version? Thanks for any information, Mike. I am very interested in upgrading to a paid version of your product.
