Just got a 404 error email with the following in it, see the URL it points to?:

This is an automated message from your website...<br /><br />A 'page not found' error was encountered on the www.55002koyli.com domain<br /><br/>DETAILS:<br />----------------------------------------------------------------------<br />When: Sun Apr 25 2010 6:59:20 pm BST<br />Who: 200.35.149.10<br />Failed Page: http://www.55002koyli.com/newsite/index.....txt???<br />Referrer: <br />Browser: mozilla 3.0

This is the 3rd one this weekend from different sites. I have captured the text file but will not post it there as its looks like dodgy code.

Also the 404 error page email is showing code, is this a bug?

It might be that someone tries to hack your site, or someone made a mistake in their system. No harm done, GetSimple shouldn’t be that easy a target. It just offers them just your 404, so no harm done.

Take a look at the IPs. If they are of a certain range, or even the same all the time, you could block them from the server in your HTACCESS-file. Another possibility would be to block them in the HTACCESS-file when the page request ends in “/SpryAssets/inbox.txt???”, assuming all use this same system to target your website.

Yes, the emailer is flawed and will be removed in the next version of GetSimple.

Thanks for the information.
