The module will be turned off by default in 3.2-3 and 3.3 (uses a separate setting). The reason for this is that the module is insecure by design and should only be used if you really need this kind of functionality.
As for 3.3 I would recommend using the new revised information collector system, you will be able to do the same things you have in your fix.
The 'spam attack' problem is not in the information collection system but in the separate form module. This module will fetch all POST variables, generate a mail out of it and send it.
My post was referring to the switching off of the process module. You mentioned that users should use the new improved information collecter routines in ez3.3. If the form module is seperate why mention this?
This implied that the switching of the module affects current info collector routines. Does it?
