mail washer is detecting spam on the website but the spam is still going to the photo section and leaving porno comments on photo's is there a way of dealing with this.

What software does your website use for comments on photos etc...? There should be a way you can either implement a CAPTCHA to prevent spam comments, or also like on our Firetrust website all our comments must first be approved before they show up, so I can remove all the spam comments and Approve all the legitimate comments which then show on the live website.

Thanks for that info, I am using Coppermine for the photo gallery.

There's some good info here about Coppermine and spam. http://documentation.coppermine-gallery ... mments.htm

Comment Approval would be the quickest solution, but it could mean more time investment from yourself to go through and filter out the bad comments, before the good comments will show up
