I installed Contact 0.0.1 but as I now found it's complete useless as captcha isn't supported (Matrix Theme). I just noticed that 13 spammails were send thruh it (even with only 2 emails per session ID was set) and deleted it immidiatly.

So please remove this module from the list unless it supports captcha.
Thank you.

erm,I believe contact module only being version 0.0.1 would basically mean its in alpha state and as such is still being developed therefore one wouldn't want to include it as of yet into a production environment anyway..... its not included in the full download.

there are no guarantees about the quality or security for any plugin from the community-repository (user-contributed plugins) or from the user-contributed downloads page.
but luckily, the gallery community produces some really good plugins as well. :)
