smtp security issues?

[greengrassbrian]

I have a flash site that has a contact me page using cold fusion...when a user submits something it uses the .cfm file to email me the users comments and is routed through our ftp server.

over time though we've started to get daily virus emails being sent to that e-mail address so I was wondering if it was in fact because of how i've built it---is there any way to secure this?

If that email address is external on the site at all, it was probably picked up by someone of less-than-savory character. I'd suggest creating a new address to have the email forms go to, and not show it on the web site. You can also put a spam blocker in place, and block the domain the emails are coming from (assuming they aren't hoax addresses, that is).

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
