SEND TO A FRIEND

The "Send to a Friend" feature I used to have is no longer available. My web hosting company will not allow it. This is from an email they sent me:

EMAIL FROM MY WEB HOST

We do not allow any script form that is configured to "send email to a friend" on our servers. It is 100 percent exploitable by spammers, as it provides an open relay. Once spammers find the form they will type in their own personal message that will likely be an advertisement for the product they are selling.

Once exploited, a script such as this would get the mail server IP address blacklisted and thus not allowing anyone on the server to be able to send mail through a form or script or through email forwarding.


I have done some checking and there are a couple of options. One option is to use a "send a friend" form from a web site that is not part of my site. Those are the ones that have all the advertising, and you have to be careful or you will be subscribed to their newsletters.  I don't want to subject my list members to that.

Another option is to use a "send to a friend" site where I pay for the service of sending my pages. That is something I might use depending on how much it will cost. I will keep you posted.
