Bård Farstad	Monday 19 January 2004 11:55:35 pm No, since you will only be able to set which address to send to ( and from ). You cannot alter the message it self. However you can send a tip to anyone, so in this sense you will be able to send spam. The form/process module just forwards all HTTP POST variables to a given e-mail address, so this moule can be used to send spam. The form/process module is disabled by default, but is included as a feature which is compatible with 2.2 form processing. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
