I have a classifieds website, where users must fill in a form to post a classified (offcourse).
I wonder, do you think I need some form of captcha on the form?
Also, I am working on a "register" page where users may get their own username/pass and login to post classifieds more easily.
Also, I have a mail-server setup...
So now, users may click on a classified and at the bottom fill in just three fields in a form (name, email, message) and send an email to the poster of the classified. No captcha there. Is this safe?
My firewall is setup so that it is preventing any outside access to the mail-server except from the websites IP.
Can I set up the firewall to some settings so that I don't need captcha?
I have my own Virtual Private Server btw, and it is running Ubuntu.
A follow-up Q is, if a spam-bot or whatever, gets the hold of my forms and fills alot of them out, or use my mail-server to send emails, what would happen then?
Would my site and mail-server get blacklisted? Is this reverssible or do I have to create a new mail-server then?
Thanks
