We get a handful of bad form submissions a day that result in the referral IP being banned. In lookking at the content of the form submission, they are usually in Russian and talking about male enhancement products or spending time online with beautiful women. So banning the IP seems resonable to me. What does seem odd is that we get the following two error message logged by the EmailHandler every time this happens. Can anyone explain what is happening here?
