Each new site plone as / contact -info / url with a common email form on it.
Spambots can easily find this and use it for webmasters with malicious emails (in particular, note that the “object” can be indicated in the letter).
This old thread http://plone.293351.n2.nabble.com/modify-or-disable-site-contact-form-td7258555.html suggests you just update the template so that it is empty. However, this is not enough to prevent spam.
wget http://localhost:8080/contact-info --post-data "sender_fullname=d& sender_from_address=doug@localhost.com &subject=d&message=d&form.submitted=1"
Will still send email to the form handler.
How do you completely disable this form handler?
edit: I see you can change the script form handler at:
/portal_skins/plone_form_scripts/send_feedback_site/manage_main /portal_skins/custom/contact-info
To create a custom script handler and replace the default actions. However, this does not really delete the page; it just does nothing.
