Are spammers able to use my Tell A Friend email system? Is there a way to add Captcha? One system I read about uses a hidden field that if a Bot fills it will not send the email. I have been looking to see if this component is secure and would like to know if it is. I love the system and would prefer to allow public access to it.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have had to disable all tell-a-friends due to spammers using them.
thanks,

Well, I visited this forum to see if only I am experiencing this module being hacked by spammers. I also had to disable it, because of that problem. Unless there is Captcha in it, security on your website will be compromised.

Our server host has disabled one of our sites using the Tell a Friend module, due to bulk Spam use.  Can the developers advise if they have a more secure version?

My site also has problems with spammers using the "Tell a friend"-module.
What can we do against these spammers using the "Tell a friend"-module?
Please help!
