How do I determine if client has been put on a "spam" attack and how to fix it?

Asked by cathyc77 in Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Web Servers, Email Servers

I have been asked to update the "look" of a client's website. I have also changed web hosts. The client says he getting much more spam email with the new host, so we have taken down the old site (which had direct email links on it) and replaced it with a contact form. Now the client is recieving emails thru the contact form that look like this:

First Name: Google

Last Name: Google

Email: Google@gmail.com

Telephone: 478-689-8309

Message: If you do not wish to receive similar messages please inform us on it by mail               ban.site[dog]gmail.com

I am pretty sure this is spam? Can someone confirm this? And also tell me how to prevent it? I am really out of my league here, but I want to try to help my client.Start Free Trial
