Greetings guru's.
Om shanti.
I have a technical question:
I am using a browser(Netscape 2.0.2 Win 3.1) to access a feedback form at www.aaa.com.
You should definitely get a newer version of Windows (or Linux) and a newer version of Netscape, together with a few clues.
I fill in my information and hit the submit button.
I see the message "connecting to xxx.bbb.com" flash up on the status line before getting a 'done' message.
Do a 'view source' in your ancient netscape, and you'll probably see that the submit button lives in a form whose action="http://xxx.bbb.com/some.cgi".
xxx.bbb.com is _not_ a web hosting service for www.aaa.com. I do a 'whois' on www.aaa.com and contact the tech admin who can duplicate this and is very concerned that information from his forms may be routed to xxx.bbb.com.
Is it "his" form? On a big site, the domain contact is likely to have no clue about _all_ the web pages on their site. ...
Is there another way to do this? Could a third-party spammer, for example, capture email addresses posted to such a form?
