spam being sent through Email To Friend - can't stop it

[doob]

Use Mailqueue System was set to Yes. It looks like bounce backs are comeing in about 1 second after the mail is sent based on the mailer daemon info and the header. It does seem like I'm flooded with bounce backs for a short time, and then there's a gap before the next batch burries my email. I'm still a little unclear on how this function works but it sounds like if I set it to "no" then emails would just go out instantly rather than in some sort of batched delay.

I ticked off "Enable Email features?" and bounce-backs stopped dead. I guess I'll need to wait and see if that's a real indicator or related to the Mailqueue System.

I already disabled in the usergroups Email to a Friend and Email to Members but I like and want the other features so don't look forward to having to rewrite this stuff.
