I'm thinking about your last answer....so....
 
if i have understand, you think is not forum but some other page in my site which could send email ??
 
I have one of this page inmy site, so i check for code....i can see my subject textbox have not control for max number of word so is possible insert 1000' email address, if you want......
 
i temporaneusly correct inserting MAXLENGTH="50" in textbox area ,...do you think it could correct problem until i upgrade to last version ? in this way nobody could insert more than 50 char...so no more email sent in block....no ?

That would not work as spammers post data directly to the file that sends the emails and by pass the form.

You need to check in your own contact enquiry forms that you have checked any data sent to the file that processes the file
