Does Pistonheads have a tool to block source email addresses ?
I'm not familiar with how messaging works within php but it looks like a relay function so I'd thought there would be a blocking capability ?
Everytime I advertise something, be that here or ebay I get scammers. With ebay I can email a potential scammer back but not show my real email address. This one yesterday is kind of obvious but they are not all as easy to spot.
If this is an admin nightmare, what about a sticky thread titled scammers ? The main tool I use is google against the email source, this usually picks up thread searches using the same msg contents.
