Yeah, that's not so great: http://ezee.se/d </clip> yep, but the above url is pretty much useless, its unable to access my filesystem and does... nothing, so other than a kid (and smart ass programmers) fooling around, who would want to do soemthing like that? <clip> You could probably stop a lot of that by checking URLs against http://www.surbl.org/ before allowing them. </clip> Thanks, thats a good idea and i think i'll work with it.
