I am getting a strange emails when a form is submited. I get a "Not Found" message in the text area of the form. Might be spam, I don't know what it is. Anybody else have this message in their emails

Not Found

Thanx.

Hi tw1277,

I've never seen that file name or the error mentioned here before. Do you have a redirect url set? or some file included into the email?

It is strange. Can submitters include html code in the fields or are they trying to attach a file to the form?

Hi tw1277,

If you Google zadanie.txt you'll find about 70,000 results similar to this - not many of them useful. It seems to be part of some test that hackers may use to probe your site??

Oh, that sucks. How do I prevent something like that from happening?

Hi tw1277,

Anti-spam, good security - I didn't find anything that said there was any particular risk. Just maybe a sign of probing.
