Good tool for spammers.



If you do not want problems on your site, do not use this module.

I had the same issue, Waring for response of my hosting very stressful, This company should make a statement fast

It's a bit low-sec extension and it doesn't go with some minimal Joomla standards, which state to use language files. (Can only be translated through main module files). If I knew it before, I wouldn't loose time on registration which is required for download.

Sorry to tell, I agree with previous revieuws...the PHP Script allows spammers to use the default domain e-mailaddress.



It's in the script : telleafriend.php

Worked fine till spammers took over it and fired out spam. Then hosting company suspended our account till we could look at the issue and confirm it was sorted. A couple of hours and plenty of stress I could do without.

The module is simple and working easily.

But after few days i have installed it i received communication from hosting company with a warning of spam and account suspension.

The module was used from somebody to send spam.

Module could be used for sending a lot of spam emails by third party from your website/server if you use this extension. Your domain / IP may be blacklisted by other online services and legitimate emails will end up in spam. My recommendation is not to use this module.

I used your module on a clients website. At first everything seemed to be working fine. Yesterday I received a message from the hosting company that a lot of spam was sent using this module. They blocked parts of the website making it unable to visit.

I saw your reaction on a review stating that it is spam protected. This clearly isn't the case. Maybe it's because spammers found a way of bypassing this protection, but it turns out your spam protection isn't that reliable anymore.

First off, I want to thank the folks at S5 for this simple but great module. I have tried to use this module in my development environment with no luck earlier in joomla 1.6. After a bunch of 404 error messages, I got it to display the referral window by disabling the SEO, but still emails show they're sent but with no luck at the recipient end. But that probably might have been my mail settings under the Global config, which I didn't worry about in my development site.

However, let me say this. On my live site which is already hosted, the module works like a charm. It sends the email regardless of how many recipients I added, 3, 2, 1. One thing that I noticed, though, is the module works only on my home page, but on the other ones it comes up with 404 error. That's not a biggy, so I just have only on that page.



Thanks,

Easy to install, easy to configure. However, requiring 3 emails before anything is sent is ridiculous.
