I'm not sure I understand the problem? Are people getting email spam or are people posting spam in the forum?

more details.
is this a website your company hosts? If you are hosting a client and they have fraudulent or illegal activity, you can shut them down. disable mod_php and tell them to get rid of any form-mailers or vulnerable PHP scripts. This includes upgrading their forum software. |

apparently the kids got an emailfrom someone stating that they were receiving bulk email from this forum.
the email did not originate from that forum, it was just used as a hop, or a forwarding remailer. Please take a look at the site. Rich |

Who's got control of the server? Do they know what they're doing? If there's a mail server running, does there need to be? What OS is the server running? What web server?
There's no easy answer. |

figures. it's a website for a bunch of COUNTER-STRIKE players.
EDIT: Nevermind. Not a CS clan. they're using PHP Nuke. I believe forums are integrated into that CMS and they should disable the forum on it until they upgrade to the latest version. I'm not familiar with PHP nuke, but I have heard it's one of the most flexible PHP CMS's available and there are a ton of plugins to add features, as well as hacks to exploit it's holes. |
