John,
I'm starting to get form mail spam on my blog www.engagingchina.com even though I stopped using the feedback form three years ago.
Spammers must have guessed the URL, I suppose. Its not yet a major nuisance but is there a way to disable the form mail feature?

Are you saying there is no page at all on your blog with the form?

The feedback form still exists as an HTML web page under the _ WebPages virtual directory. There are actually two versions, Feedbackform.html and an old test page testform.html.
But there are no links pointing to either HTML page from the blog -- and havent been for a couple of years. Rather than delete them entirely, If I rename the pages to something more cryptic, will that defeat the spammers?
