Did something (else) change?

I have been using FormMail on my site for quite some time now.

I am pretty sure (90%) that it has been function since the migration as well.

I decided to test my contact form today and got a message blocking the referrer.

I have two domains that point to the same place (second one is a "full service" domain, can't remember what it's called, but I have email addresses at that domain as well if that helps). The domain names are turcottedata.com (http://turcottedata.com) and turcotte.tv (http://turcotte.tv).

When I submitted the form, I got a message saying that turcotte.tv was not in the allowed referrers list. It never was, but it always worked. Also, I was on the 'turcottedata.com' domain when I tested it... why would it be saying that the message was trying to be sent from 'turcotte.tv'?

Anyone have any suggestions?

I fixed the problem by added 'turcotte.tv' to the allowed referrers, but I would still like to know what changed.

The script should only really work when the referrers are set correctly, I'm not sure why it would've worked before when you hadn't had that domain as a referrer.

I guess another question would be why did show that the message was trying to be sent by "turcotte.tv" when I was using "turcottedata.com"?

Without actually checking your account as well as the script, it's hard to tell why this occured. If your really wanting this question answered you should probably contact support or file a support ticket for someone to look into it.

Versions of FormMail that rely on the referrer are open invitations to spammers who can trivially forge the referrer field.
