I have an old version of FUDForum (2.6.4) which has been remarkably stable for my purposes. However, I seem to be having a little battle with about a half dozen "members" who join and have the status of unconfirmed users. I delete them, and right the next day they are back again. They are not posting, but this battle has been going on long enough that they have to be getting something out of it, and I'm thinking that they are using the forum somehow to send out mail. I have been unable to upgrade because my site has an 8meg limit and the upgrade scripts required more memory. 1. Can my version be used to send out spam? and if so 2. Is there anything I can do to stop them?
