lanaba1103 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I've done a lot of searches on this, but can't find anything that matches the problem I'm having. I have a PHP form that sends an email to 2 or 3 different places, depending on what the user enters on the form. The form sends me the user's IP address when the form is submitted. The form seems to be working fine, but for some reason, I've been getting multiple submissions (usually 2, sometimes 3 or 4) for the same people. The weird part is that it sends them a day later, and the second (and 3rd and 4th) emails come from a different IP address than the first one, and only the required fields are filled in. The other weird thing is that the duplicate emails all come from the same IP address. Everything is consistent in regards to the duplicate submissions, so it seems strange and suspicious to me. I just want to know if it's something in the code, or if the form is being hijacked, or something else. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know what would cause this to happen? I'm not getting garbage data, it's the same stuff that was already submitted (but only the required fields).

mforan Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 sounds like a spam bot. and an email clogged server, which is queuing the mails.
