Well yes, but I did think of that and added some small filters and it
stopped.  Nearly all website spam includes </a>  or some other
similar
marker so just filtering on that works.
(probably shouldn't of said that. awaiting incoming spam!)

What happens if you're not there - does it queue them up?

James,

What a cool feature!
I sent you a couple of test messages over the weekend, did you receive
them?
The webpage on mi4 said "Failed to Send" or similar, but the bit
of
text underneath said "this is what just happened" and described
the
process you list below.

I'm happy to test again if that helps.

Cheers,

Tim.
